‘Insidious 5: The Red Door’ will haunt theaters on July 7

The Insidious franchise’s fifth installment, created by Leigh Whannell and James Wan, is experiencing a makeover before its scheduled release on July 7. Initially titled Insidious: Fear the Dark, the movie will now incorporate one of the series’ most famous visual motifs, rebranding itself as Insidious: The Red Door.

The upcoming installment of the Insidious franchise is set to take audiences to even darker corners of The Further, and the recent title change has us all the more excited about how far this journey will take us into the unknown.

Insidious: The Red Door is a fitting and ominous name that taps into one of the series’ most iconic visual motifs. The red doors have long served as gateways to the lairs of the franchise’s most sinister villains and as portals to The Further itself.

It’s clear that the red door holds a significant role in the Insidious universe, particularly in the Lambert family’s repeated hauntings. In the 2018 prequel Insidious: The Last Key, Elise Rainier, the franchise’s paranormal investigator, inadvertently leaves the door to the Lambert residence open as she departs The Further after defeating Key Face. Her mistake results in the family being trapped in a never-ending cycle of hauntings, with multiple trips to The Further in search of peace.

With Insidious: The Red Door, it seems that we’ll be delving deeper into the mythology of the franchise and exploring the significance of the red door even further. Perhaps we’ll even see a return of an iconic Darth Maul looking villain?

Insidious: The Red Door, picks up a decade after the events of the second film. Plot specifics are being kept hush-hush, but we do know that the movie will follow Josh Lambert (Patrick Wilson) as he drops off his son Dalton (Ty Simpkins) at college in the idyllic East Coast. Unfortunately, the family’s past soon resurfaces to haunt them, forcing the family to revisit The Further to put an end to the terror once and for all.

In a recent interview with Collider, Rose Byrne, one of the stars of the Insidious franchise, shared some details about the upcoming film. According to Byrne, the concept for Insidious: The Red Door originated from her co-star, Patrick Wilson, who will be making his directorial debut with the project while series co-creator Leigh Whannell writes.

After taking a break from the Lambert family, the storyline will focus on Elise’s character, Byrne noted that it felt like a natural progression to revisit the family and see how they’ve moved on from their past traumas.

Byrne also hinted at the possibility of another sequel, should the new film prove to be another hit for Blumhouse. However, the project would require the involvement of Wilson, Ty Simpkins, and Whannell to make it work. Fans will have to wait and see how Insidious: The Red Door performs at the box office, but if it’s anything like its predecessors, it’s sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

‘Immaculate’ Stars Reveal Which Horror Villains They Would “F, Marry, Kill”

Published

on

Sydney Sweeney is just coming off the success of her rom-com Anyone But You, but she’s ditching the love story for a horror story in her latest film Immaculate.

Sweeney is taking Hollywood by storm, portraying everything from a love-lusting teenager in Euphoria to an accidental superhero in Madame Web. Although the latter got a lot of hate among theater-goers, Immaculate is getting the polar opposite.

The film was screened at SXSW this past week and was well-received. It also gained a reputation for being extremely gory. Derek Smith of Slant says the, “final act contains some of the most twisted, gory violence this particular subgenre of horror has seen in years…”

Thankfully curious horror movie fans won’t have to wait long to see for themselves what Smith is talking about as Immaculate will hit theaters across the United States on March, 22.

Bloody Disgusting says that the movie’s distributor NEON, in a bit of marketing smarts, had stars Sydney Sweeney and Simona Tabasco play a game of “F, Marry, Kill” in which all their choices had to be horror movie villains.

It’s an interesting question, and you might be surprised at their answers. So colorful are their responses that YouTube slapped an age-restricted rating on the video.

Immaculate is a religious horror movie that NEON says stars Sweeney, “as Cecilia, an American nun of devout faith, embarking on a new journey in a remote convent in the picturesque Italian countryside. Cecilia’s warm welcome quickly devolves into a nightmare as it becomes clear her new home harbors a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.”

Beetlejuice 2

After more than three decades since the original “Beetlejuice” film took audiences by storm with its unique blend of comedy, horror, and whimsy, Michael Keaton has given fans a reason to eagerly anticipate the sequel. In a recent interview, Keaton shared his thoughts on an early cut of the upcoming “Beetlejuice” sequel, and his words have only added to the growing excitement surrounding the film’s release.

Keaton, reprising his iconic role as the mischievous and eccentric ghost, Beetlejuice, described the sequel as “beautiful”, a term that encapsulates not only the visual aspects of the film but its emotional depth as well. “It is really good. And beautiful. Beautiful, you know, physically. You know what I mean? The other one was so fun and exciting visually. It’s all that, but really kind of beautiful and interestingly emotional here and there. I wasn’t ready for that, you know. Yeah, it’s great,” Keaton remarked during his appearance on The Jess Cagle Show.

Keaton’s praise did not stop at the film’s visual and emotional appeal. He also lauded the performances of both returning and new cast members, signaling a dynamic ensemble that is sure to please fans. “It’s great and the cast, I mean, Catherine [O’Hara], if you thought she was funny last time, double it. She’s so funny and Justin Theroux is like, I mean, come on,” Keaton enthused. O’Hara returns as Delia Deetz, while Theroux joins the cast in a yet-to-be-disclosed role. The sequel also introduces Jenna Ortega as Lydia’s daughter, Monica Bellucci as Beetlejuice’s wife, and Willem Dafoe as a dead B movie actor, adding new layers to the beloved universe.

“It’s just so fun and I’ve seen it now, I’m gonna see it again after a couple little tweaks in the editing room and I confidently say this thing is great,” Keaton shared. The journey from the original “Beetlejuice” to its sequel has been a long one, but if Keaton’s early rave is anything to go by, it will have been worth the wait. Showtime for the sequel is set for September 6th.

‘The Unknown’ From Willy Wonka Event is Getting a Horror Movie

Published

on

Not since the Fyre Festival has an event been so lambasted online as Glasgow, Scotland’s Willy Wonka Experience. In case you haven’t heard about it, it was a children’s spectacular that celebrated Roald Dahl’s offbeat chocolatier by taking families through a themed space that felt like his magical factory. Only, thanks to cellphone cameras and social testimony, it was actually a sparsely decorated warehouse filled with flimsy set designs that looked like they were bought on Temu.

The famous disgruntled Oompa Loompa is now a meme and several hired actors have spoken out about the inelegant party. But one character seems to have come out on top, The Unknown, the mirror-masked emotionless villain who appears from behind a mirror, terrifying younger attendees. The actor who played Wonka, at the event, Paul Conell, recites his script and gives some backstory to this frightening entity.

“The bit that got me was where I had to say, ‘There is a man we don’t know his name. We know him as the Unknown. This Unknown is an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls,'” Conell told Business Insider. “It was terrifying for the kids. Is he an evil man who makes chocolate or is the chocolate itself evil?”

Despite the sour affair, something sweet may come out of it. Bloody Disgusting has reported that a horror movie is being made based on The Unknown and may get a release as early as this year.

The horror publication quotes Kaledonia Pictures: “The film, gearing up for production and a late 2024 release, follows a renowned illustrator and his wife who are haunted by the tragic death of their son, Charlie. Desperate to escape their grief, the couple leave the world behind for the remote Scottish Highlands – where an unknowable evil awaits them.”

They add, “We are excited to begin production and look forward to sharing more with you as soon as possible. We are actually only a few miles from the event, so it is quite surreal to see Glasgow all over social media, worldwide.”
