"Insidious: The Red Door - A Hauntingly Gripping Review"

Patrick Wilson makes his directorial debut with "Insidious: The Red Door," the fifth and supposedly final installment in the "Insidious" franchise. The movie delivers a reasonably satisfying wrap-up to the story of the Lambert family, with Wilson reprising his role as protective dad Josh Lambert. While the film has some effective scares in its first half, it ultimately falls short in exploring a rote theme of inherited trauma and mental illness. Wilson's direction stays faithful to the franchise's visual style, but the movie declines towards an underwhelming finale.
