La noche del demonio: La puerta roja

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.

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")

First of all, it's definitely not the best horror film I've ever seen. It's not going to win any Oscar's or leave you gasping in awe. However, it's certainly not a terrible as some of the reviews suggest.

It holds your attention and has some great jump scares.

On the negative side, I'm a huge fan of the insidious movies, but this just doesn't feel like it belongs with the others.

The plot isn't terrible, but the college scenes are a bit cheesy, overacted and stereotypical. The whole sorority thing has been overdone.

In short, as a stand-alone movie this is fine. A solid 6/6.5. It just doesn't have the insidious feel for me.

2.5 out of 5 stars.

Insidious The Red Door is a pretty bad supernatural horror film that is starting to become dead end for the franchise. The concept is creepy and scary about a person astral projecting into the realm the further were lost souls and demonic entity can find you.

The plot is a conclusion to the Lambert family after seeing them in the second movie in the series. Is it really a necessary sequel? Not really. Plot follows 9 years later. Dalton is going to college while his father is still feeling hazy after they were hypnotized to forget the events on the second film. Until they both discover they can astral project again and something sinister comes there way.

The film is more of a story about father and son trying to resolve with each others mystery conflict. The movie has less scares and thrills. Which is very few in between. Some cheap jump scares that does not do the trick with this film.

The cast is okay in the film but the script is a bit dull with there characters.

Overall, the fifth film bites the dust in the further and it might as well be skipped.

It was very slow paced, and dragged on, the storyline was a little dull and not like the others, I thought the last one wasn't as great, but it was much better than this one, I was so excited to have the main cast back, and to see another installment, I was hoping it would dive deeper into the further, and see many more evil characters, but it was not meant to be, it was the same old rehashing from previous movies, the whole collage thing put me off the most, and making it upto date modern gen z stuff was so boring, I could have done without that, it built slowly and didn't land, there was like 5 jump scares, and that was about it, I'd like to say something different, and I'm not moaning to just moan, but it wasn't good and my advice, don't waste your time.
