Insidious	comment	Insidious is a series of thriller/horror films centered on paranormal investigators who protect people from beings hailing from a supernatural dimension known as "the Further". The films were produced by Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity), and Jason Blum, under his production company, Blumhouse Productions, and written by Leigh Whannell (Saw).The first film was directed by James Wan, Whannell's frequent collaborator and director of the first Saw, and released on April 1st, 2011. The story centers on the Lambert family, consisting of father Josh (Patrick Wilson), mother Renai (Rose Byrne), and their three children, the oldest being ten-year-old Dalton. As they begin to settle into a new home, they experience strange noises and other unexplained phenomena. Soon Dalton is rushed to the hospital after slipping into a coma shortly after falling off a ladder in the attic. Months slip by, and the doctors still have no explanation for his continuing coma. When the boy is returned home under his mother's care, more frightening events occur in the home. The mother is so horrified that she moves the family to another new home in hopes of leaving the fearful memories behind them.The family quickly discovers that the haunting has nothing to do with their home, but rather from Dalton. A team of paranormal experts, ghost-hunters Specs (Whannell) and Tucker (Angus Sampson) and psychic Elise (Lin Shaye), observe Dalton, the family, and their home. They determine that Dalton is trapped on the other side in a dark world they call The Further. The parents team with them to try to bring their boy back from The Further and save him from the clutches of a dark entity that hopes to claim him as his own.The original follows a similar formula to Poltergeist, where an evil supernatural force abducts Dalton's spirit for their own ends, except they want to possess his physical body for use on this side rather than keep him and his physical body on the otherside. Similar to Poltergiest, Josh must cross over to the otherside (The Further) and rescue Dalton from his prison only with Astral Projection. Unfortunately, Josh can't imagine what dangers await him in this plane of the dead and an old nemesis from his childhood awaits his arrival.The second film, Insidious: Chapter 2, was released on September (Friday the) 13th, 2013 and once again directed by Wan (who also gets story credit with Whannell). It follows the fallout of the first film as the Lamberts try to move on from their previous experiences by moving to the residence of Josh's mother, Lorraine (Barbara Hershey). However, it's soon made clear that the haunting has not yet stopped and in fact increases by a magnitude. The family race through time trying to discover the truth behind it and determine what connection it has with Josh, who seems to become the new target of haunting.The third film, Insidious: Chapter 3, is a prequel and was released June 5th, 2015. Wan stepped down from the director role (though he remained as a producer for this film and subsequent installments), replaced by Whannell in his directorial debut. The film is set several years before the events of the first film and focuses on Quinn Brenner (Stefanie Scott), an aspiring young theater actress who longs to speak with her deceased mother, Lillith. However, her life takes a turn for the worse when a mysterious entity starts to stalk and physically endanger her. Quinn's father (Dermot Mulroney) and brother contact Specs and Tucker and a jaded Elise, still recovering from the death of her husband, to help them save Quinn.The fourth film, titled Insidious: The Last Key, was announced in 2016. It was released on January 5th, 2018 and directed by Adam Robitel (The Taking of Deborah Logan), while Whannell also takes on producing role along with Blum, Peli and Wan. It is an Interquel, set between the events of the third and first films. Elise has been confronted by nightmares about her past back when she was a girl living in an abusive household in the fictional town of Five Keys, New Mexico, before being contacted by a man living in her former home, claiming it to be haunted. She, along with Specs and Tucker, venture out to find out what's going on and to put Elise's past to rest.The fifth and final installment, titled Insidious: The Red Door, was released on July 7th, 2023. It was directed by Wilson in his directorial debut, with Scott Teems writing the screenplay, based on a story treatment by Whannell. In addition to directing, Wilson reprised his role as Josh alongside Dalton's now-adult actor, Ty Simpkins. The plot picks up a decade after the events of Chapter 2 as Dalton begins college.

Insidious / int_10dffb47	comment	Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl: In Chapter 3, the ghostly crawling version of Quinn that appears in the Further is straight out of a Japanese horror movie. The fourth film has a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl haunting Elise's childhood home. In a twist, she is actually just a lost soul, was alive when Elise first met her, and is perfectly willing to lead Imogen to the Further.

First played innocuously as a memorabilia that both Christian and Elise treasure because it is something given by their deceased mother., who promised that she "would surely come" for them if it is used. Elise later uses it to detect the presence of a woman locked in her house's basement. It comes back in the climax when Elise blows it in desperation. Cue Aubrey kicking the demon's ass.

In a bizarre twist, Dalton goes back in time by picking up the hammer from his painting after it transforms into a real hammer, and Possessed!Josh picks it up as his weapon of choice after Adult!Dalton sets it down and forgets about it.

The second film has a similar ending with Elise (presumably) seeing the Red-Faced Demon from the first film again, as a sound effect associated with him plays during this moment. The third film â€“ a prequel â€“ ends with Elise and her dog discovering a presence at her door... only for the Red-Faced Demon to Jump Scare out from behind her. The fourth film's hook is an even more direct version of the third. Elise wakes up from her nightmare of Dalton being haunted by the Red-Faced Demon and receives a call from Lorraine who tells her, as she has predicted, that Dalton needs help. The Fifth Film teases in The Stinger that the although The Red Door was sealed by being painted over with black, it may reopen as a force (Maybe The Red Face Demon) turned the door's overhead light back on.

Unless your eyes are sharp enough, you probably won't even realize he was there in the first place. 6) This is also the first scene which made the song "Tiptoe through the Tulips" become scary in the film. Later when this song is played again, you know something bad is going to happen.

The Red Door reveals that Josh Lambert's father, Ben Burton, killed himself by jumping from an asylum window so his "gift" would end with him. This turns out to be in vain, however, as Ben had fathered a son who inherited his abilities.

Insidious / int_71e8a5c5	comment	Trauma Conga Line: Elise's life story is nothing but this. When she was a kid, she was emotionally and physically abused by her father, who told her that no one would love someone like her, because he hated and feared her powers. Her mother died because she unwittingly let a demon into their house, something that continues to haunt her into old age, and her father, predictably, blamed her. Years afterward, she finally snapped and ran away from home. While Elise later married Jack and had a good life, that ended when Jack committed suicide. She's coaxed by helping Quinn Brenner to help contact the latter's mother, which almost gets Elise killed. Then when she tries to make amends to her brother after visiting home to search for its haunting ghost, her brother lashes out at her for abandoning him to deal with their father's abuse alone. Her niece almost immediately gets killed by the spirit haunting her childhood home, which turns out to be the same spirit who possessed her abusive father and had him kill and dismember women in their basement. She goes through this and finally gets closure from her remaining family...then she's called by Lorraine Lambert, whose son Elise helped be free of the Bride in Black when he was a boy, to help her haunted grandson Dalton. We know how this ends. Josh's situation as of the start of The Red Door. He's divorced from Renai and estranged from his children, particularly Dalton, who wants nothing to do with him. His mother has just died, leaving him all alone. His repressed memories of astral projecting and possession by ghosts have emotionally and physically drained him, but the amnesia means that he has no idea why. Just when it couldn't get any worse, the Red-Faced Demon returns to terrorize Dalton, seemingly wanting to finish what he started years ago.

In the third film, Quinn's friends basically disappear after she becomes disabled and stuck at home. Maggie's last scene is during a video chat shortly after Quinn's release from the hospital, while Hector's is even earlier, during the birthday party.

After Dalton bangs his head, he looks towards the far end of the attic at something the audience never gets to see, which then makes a horrible cracking sound.

Before going back to his body after retrieving Dalton from The Further, he met the Bride in Black that tried to possess him when he was 8. With not much time left, he chose to confront her instead of continuing on his way. In the end, the few seconds he lost prevented him from coming back in our world, and lead to Elise's demise. Meanwhile, Elise, suspecting that Josh is possessed by the Bride in Black blows her pretense of ignorance by snapping a photo of Josh's body which guarantee's that the Bride becomes enraged and strangles her to death. The film prequels even make it clear that Elise had previous encounters with the Bride in Black and was threatened by them making her death feel at least delay-able by not letting on that she senses something off about Josh's body. The main consolation is that Elise is Only Mostly Dead even in spite of losing her physical body, able to aid her allies in spirit and thus still affect the plot as if she never died.

Insidious / int_c26e2b1	comment	New Powers as the Plot Demands: Chapter 2 explains that someone murdered Elise Ranier, but it was nobody who was present at the time of death. This is because Parker Crane was in control of Josh's body at the time of the murder, which altered it in a way that it was as if Parker Crane was there incarnate to do the deed. Chapter 3 shows that possession may grant the victim Healing Factor of all things, which greatly accelerates Quinn's broken bone healing. It isn't clarified if this power is unique to The Man Who Can't Breathe, but given he wants to kill Quinn and is some sort of demon-human, it's quite an unusual power. This is notable as Parker Crane's effect on the living is a negative healing factor.

Additionally, the whole danger of astral projectors falling asleep and becoming vulnerable to the dead is similar to A Nightmare on Elm Street where the kids falling asleep makes them vulnerable to being slain by Freddy.

Unless your eyes are sharp enough, you probably won't even realize he was there in the first place. 6) This is also the first scene which made the song "Tiptoe through the Tulips" become scary in the film. Later when this song is played again, you know something bad is going to happen. When the Renai goes to check on Cali during the night and there is a man standing just behind the crib. Due to where the camera is focused and the curtains, he blends into the background. It's only after she looks up that you realize he was there from the moment she had walked into the room.

Insidious / int_e4f5affb	comment	Elise's life story is nothing but this. When she was a kid, she was emotionally and physically abused by her father, who told her that no one would love someone like her, because he hated and feared her powers. Her mother died because she unwittingly let a demon into their house, something that continues to haunt her into old age, and her father, predictably, blamed her. Years afterward, she finally snapped and ran away from home. While Elise later married Jack and had a good life, that ended when Jack committed suicide. She's coaxed by helping Quinn Brenner to help contact the latter's mother, which almost gets Elise killed. Then when she tries to make amends to her brother after visiting home to search for its haunting ghost, her brother lashes out at her for abandoning him to deal with their father's abuse alone. Her niece almost immediately gets killed by the spirit haunting her childhood home, which turns out to be the same spirit who possessed her abusive father and had him kill and dismember women in their basement. She goes through this and finally gets closure from her remaining family...then she's called by Lorraine Lambert, whose son Elise helped be free of the Bride in Black when he was a boy, to help her haunted grandson Dalton. We know how this ends.

Insidious / int_f64a9cf7	comment	Earn Your Happy Ending: Insidious 2; Josh is finally freed from his possession and Carl hypnotizes him and Josh into forgetting their astral projection abilities, severing the family's ties to The Further for good. One could say the same for Elise, Specs, and Tucker, considering that despite her death, Elise still has contact with the two and they go onto another paranormal case. Insidious 3 likewise ends with this. The Brenner family ultimately come off the haunting unscathed and manage to say goodbye to Lillith. Elise also decides to move from her grief and retakes her job as a parapsychologist. The Last Key continues the tradition as Elise finally reconciles with Christian and his children. She also gets closure about her parents, both of whom appear to protect her while she is being locked in the Further. She also states that as she has found her family again, she no longer fears death, mitigating her death in the first film. The Red Door more then any one in the series ends on a happy note with Josh and Dalton, stopping the demons and also preventing any more supernatural forces from being able to enter their world and torment them. Josh and Dalton reconcile and for that matter Josh seems to be reconciling with the rest of the family. He also gets closure with his deceased /missing father. Finally Elise herself visits Josh briefly telling him he has a great future ahead of him.
