How To Watch The Insidious Movies In Order
Insidious, the popular horror franchise starring Patrick Wilson, contains several movies. Should they be watched in release or chronological order?
The 2023 movie ends with Josh Lambert (Patrick Wilson) coming back to life, which allows him to reunite and reconcile with his son, Dalton (Ty Simpkins). While the franchise could have ended there,Insidious: The Red Door’s post-credits sceneindicated there was more to come. The announcement ofInsidious 6will seemingly follow through on this tease, but the payoff will have to come later than anticipated, and it isstill unclear if the movie will revolve around the Lambert family or other characters connected to The Further.
Our Take On Insidious 6’s New Release Date
The Delay May Be Good News
While the new release date is disappointing, it may ultimately be for the best.Insidious: The Red Doorhad a largely satisfying ending for the Lambert family. If they are to return in the next movie, the story needs to find a compelling reason to bring them back that does not undermineRed Door’s ending. The Lambert family may not even be part of the next movie. The pushed back release date canprovide more time to ensure thatInsidious 6is a worthy addition to the franchise.
