Patrick Wilson is returning to the Insidious franchise, this time as both actor and director. The fifth installment in the popular horror series, Insidious: The Red Door, will see Wilson reprise his role as Josh Lambert, the father of a family haunted by supernatural forces.
Wilson is no stranger to the Insidious franchise. He starred in the first two films in the series, and he also appeared in a cameo role in Insidious: Chapter 3. In Insidious: The Red Door, Wilson will be stepping behind the camera for the first time, and he is excited to bring his own vision to the franchise.
"I'm thrilled to be back in the Insidious world," Wilson said in a statement. "I've always loved the mythology of the series, and I'm excited to explore new territory with this film."
The film is set several years after the events of Insidious: Chapter 2. Josh and his family have moved on with their lives, but they are still haunted by the events that transpired in the Further. When Dalton, their son, begins to have strange visions, Josh must once again confront the demons that have been following his family.
Insidious: The Red Door is written by Scott Teems, who also wrote Halloween Kills. The film is being produced by Jason Blum, Oren Peli, and James Wan.
The film is scheduled to be released on July 7, 2023.
In addition to Wilson, the film will also star Ty Simpkins, who reprises his role as Dalton Lambert. Rose Byrne is also set to return, but her role is currently unknown.
The film's title, Insidious: The Red Door, is a reference to a mysterious red door that appears in Dalton's visions. The door is said to be a portal to the Further, the realm of the dead that is home to the demons that have been haunting the Lambert family.
Insidious: The Red Door is sure to be a treat for fans of the franchise. Wilson is a talented actor and director, and he is sure to bring his own unique vision to the film. The film's premise is also intriguing, and it promises to be a terrifying and suspenseful ride.
