"Insidious: The Red Door" Review: A Haunting Journey Through Jump Scares

TL;DR
"Insidious: The Red Door," the fifth installment of the horror franchise directed by Patrick Wilson, falls short of its predecessors. While Wilson understands the importance of a good jump scare, the film ultimately collapses into nonsensical storytelling. The movie centers around the strained relationship between a father and son who share a curse of being visited by evil figures from another realm. Despite a few spooky sequences, the screenplay is lackluster, and the return of the red-faced demon is underwhelming. Overall, "Insidious: The Red Door" fails to deliver the same level of scares and standout performances as previous films in the franchise.
