"Insidious: The Red Door" Review: Franchise's Latest Strays from its Roots

Insidious: The Red Door, directed by Patrick Wilson, the fifth installment of the Insidious franchise, fails to deliver scares and falls short of its hauntingly thrilling potential. The film's lackluster storytelling and slow pacing hinder the exploration of supernatural phenomena and the emotional connections between characters. Despite Wilson's transition to the director's chair, the film suffers from sloppy editing and a lack of cohesiveness, resulting in confusion and monotony. Insidious: The Red Door offers little in terms of horror or entertainment, disappointing fans of the franchise.
