Insidious: The Red Door starts right were we saw the Lamberts the last time, with Josh and Dalton's memories being suppressed by Carl. Nine years later, Dalton is headed to college and the demon that once hunted him is back. Through the film the first two installments are referenced serving as a memory refresher. The first act is way too slow, dragging the film with taking too long to get to the point making act 2 and act 3 feel rushed. Even so, is a good debut for Patrick Wilson as a director. He took his knowledge and experience in the genre to bring a good finale to the Lambert's story. Both Wilson and Ty Simpkins performances brings a more emotional side of their characters creating a believable story.

As expected, the film is full of jump scares but not all of them are predictable. The dark atmosphere builds up the tension creating scary moments that will make more than one jump of their seats. Compared to the rest of the franchise, Insidious: The Red Door is a good addition to it being better than Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015) and Insidious: The Last Key (2018) but not as outstanding as the first two. Don't leave when the film ends if you don't want to miss the post-credit scene and the end credits song by the Swedish rock band Ghost and a special guest.
