इनसिडियस द रेड डोर

This entry and hopefully conclusion to the franchise was not a masterpiece, but also wasn't bad either. It is a typical horror film and one that made me jump a few times which is something movies don't seem to make me do anymore. It is no where near as good in story as the first two films, but is better than 3 and 4 by a long shot. I don't think this movie had the same tone as the first two which was hard to get used to, but wasn't bad either. Unlike other reviews, I enjoyed the first 2/3s of the film more than the ending that seemed sort of rushed and random. It is a must see for fans of the franchise, but for a casual movie goer this might not be your thing.

The guy sitting next to me covered his ears for literally the entire movie. I don't blame him, as there were a frustrating amount of obnoxious, tasteless jump scares.

But an equal amount of the scares were EXTREMELY effective, involving clearly thoughtful placement of disturbing imagery and refreshing patience. Patrick Wilson's extensive experience in horror films gave him insight on how to craft atmosphere. I just wish he would have done it more often.

The story does find good reasons to exist-to continue this long-delayed franchise. It explores themes of memory that feel like a natural continuation of the Lambert's story. And it culminates in an emotionally satisfying ending.

It's just that the script too often falls upon stilted, unnatural dialogue and is paced without a sense of progression, and it makes this movie a lot less effective and memorable than it could have been with the many good ideas on display.

I couldn't help but believe that the horror component of the film fell short of expectations as it neared its finale. It's impossible to say whether this occurred as a result of my yearlong exposure to a large number of horror films or if there was a problem with the writing. I wished there had been more genuinely horrific and spine-chilling moments because the ending felt a little hurried. The emotional depth between the characters was another component I hoped had been further addressed in the movie.

The movie did, however, have certain advantages. An unsettling mood was created by the cinematography and visual effects, which added to the overall suspense. The tension was effectively heightened by the use of lighting and sound design, increasing the audience's anticipation during crucial scenes.

As a longtime fan or horror and someone who found that interest through the insidious and conjuring universes, I was expecting more out of this film. It felt as though there was a think tank meeting where some important ideas were thought of and they decided to explore those without really fleshing them out. There were hardly any jump scares or truly unique elements of horror, overall just a very predictable plot. Despite the runtime, this movie felt very fast, almost like an episode of a TV show. This in combination with an unbearably cringy script for the best friend/roomate character made this my least favorite movie of the franchise and one that I could've lived without.

Ten years ago, Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Dalton Lambert (Ty Simpkins) are hypnotized to forget their astral voyage to the Further. On the present days, Josh has divorced Renai Lambert (Rose Byrne) and is estranged from his son. During the funeral of his mother Lorraine Lambert, Renai suggests Josh to drive Dalton to the university to reconnect with him during the journey. However, when they arrive at the dormitory, they have an argument and Josh returns home. Dalton is an Arts student and his Professor Armagan (Hiam Abbass) asks her students to go deeper in their inner fears and Dalton discovers a red door. Soon he is haunted by demons from the Further.

"Insidious" (2010) is maybe the best horror movie of the Twentieth Century. "Insidious: The Red Door" is a disappointing sequel of the original story. The pace is not adequate and the screenplay is messy and not good. Impressive how Ty Simpkins has grown up since the first film and has become a tall man. But unfortunately, the plot is boring and predictable. Maybe the great expectation created in the viewers and fans of "Insidious" is to be blamed since it is very difficult to achieve to make such a great film again. The character Chris Winslow helps to ruin the film with her jokes that break the tension. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Sobrenatural: A Porta Vermelha" ("Supernatural: The Red Door")
