The original cast reunites for the epic conclusion of INSIDIOUS: THE RED DOOR

What has the Lambert family been up to since we last saw them in Insidious: Chapter 2?

When last we met the Lambert family, astral projectors Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Dalton (Ty Simpkins) had survived multiple trips into The Further. Dalton had been kidnapped by a demon… Josh had rescued him, only to be trapped in The Further while a ghost possesses his body in our world… that ghost, in Josh’s body, had rampaged through his house, trying to kill his family… and Dalton had ventured back into The Further to find his real father and bring him back.

“After the second film, I felt there was nothing more to be done or said or explored with the Lambert family,” says Wilson who, aside from returning as Josh Lambert, also marks his directorial debut with Insidious: The Red Door, opening across Philippine cinemas July 5. “I had saved my son, been saved myself, been possessed; I had gone through just about everything you can do in a horror movie. The biggest question that I asked, and that I wanted to pose to the audience, was what happens to a family after ten years, when you’ve been hypnotized in order to forget your family trauma?

“In hindsight, that’s probably not the healthiest way to deal with trauma: ‘It didn’t happen, you’ll forget this.’ I wanted to unpack that,” Wilson continues.

In Insidious: The Red Door, the epic conclusion to the terrifying saga of the Lambert family, the story picks up as the original cast reunites for the third chapter in the family’s saga and fifth and final film in the blockbuster horror franchise, following two prequels. Ten years after the events of the second film, Josh and Renai (Rose Byrne) have divorced, as Josh struggles to piece together a life that seems to have major holes he can’t fill. Dalton, now a young adult, is heading off to an East Coast art college, and has a strained relationship with his father.

“It’s stilted because of the events that have happened, and they don’t really know why,” says Wilson. “They have missing chapters – holes in their memory – and there’s resentment from Dalton’s side. Two men who can’t quite express their desire to make their relationship better because they don’t know where it went wrong. And yet they’re tied together in more ways than one, and Insidious fans know exactly what that means.”

“I love the fact that we were able to bring the original cast back together to bring the Lamberts’ saga to a close,” says producer Jason Blum. “Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne, of course, but also Ty Simpkins, Lin Shaye, Leigh Whannell, Angus Sampson and Andrew Astor. Getting to see how the cast has aged – especially the actors who were children and have grown into young men – underscores the heart of the story for me: that this is a family finding their way as they move through their lives.”

Reuniting the cast became a central pivot point of Wilson’s direction of the film – his reason for wanting to do it, and later, a driving force in his vision for the film.

Says Wilson, “I wanted the movie to feel like it closes out the Lambert trilogy – if you’ve seen the first two movies, you get a feeling for them – but I’ve shown it to people who know nothing of the Insidious franchise, and I know, you don’t need to see those movies to understand.”

MOVIE REVIEW - The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

The third installment of The Conjuring franchise dubbed The Devil Made Me Do It gives a new level of chills as it chronicles one of the most controversial paranormal cases of Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Starting by saving the life of a young boy, Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) takes themselves beyond anything they've seen before, and for the first time in US history, that Arne Cheyenne Johnson's (Ruairi O'Connor) murder case in 1981 claims demonic possession as a defense.

Different from the previous The Conjuring films, we also witness Lorraine's insidious ways dealing with the spirit realm, confronting evil and saving lives. She can now transport and immerse herself into the essence of other people, even the dead to investigate on the stories and reasons of demonic activities.


Though there are less jump scares, there is a little bit more blood, witchcraft, new tests. They even exhibited the scary actual recordings connected to this case by the end of the movie. If you're going to find Annabelle, you'll sure do.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is now showing in theaters and you can also stream it via HBO MAX. Directed by Michael Chavez based on the files of Ed and Lorraine Warren, written by James Wan. Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

THE CONJURING movie review

the most anticipated horror movie of the season has tested my bravery and i admit that i wasn't able to control myself in watching THE CONJURING. opening the most-kept secret of the Warrens, Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine (Vera Farmiga), about a haunting in Rhode Island, creeps audience from the trailer up to its full length movie.

i was hesitant about going to the cinema and watch this movie. but i already had decided to push it through and besides, i have other cowards with me watching it, hehe. when i saw videos on documentaries about related topics on the Warren Museum of Demonology and the Annabelle doll, at least it toned down the scares in me when i saw the movie. it was another case of haunting and possession, which family members are greatly affected in the increasing terror of the demon living inside the Perrons' house.
i somehow believed that such paranormal occurrences may happen anywhere. and it got ever scarier when finding out that this was a true story. i saw James Wan's Insidious and i was really scared at it. i was rolling down at my seat when horror intensifies. accept the dare to see The Conjuring and you'll be sleeping with your lights on and a companion beside you. it's just that i'm so sleepy and i just ignored the scares.

the special effects are well done as well as the prosthetics. but i guess Insidious was a lot scarier than this. The Conjuring gives horror but in a surprising way that your heart won't skip a beat. for the actors, i appreciated Lili Taylor's acting as Caroline Perron who was gradually attacked by the demon. i wonder how she feels doing that.

there were some scenes that made me annoyed though i cannot justify whether it's needed in the development of the story no matter what. like how a daughter gets attracted to the Warrens' assistant and how the guard was lured in by a ghost. i just didn't feel it was okay. it was more scarier if they had made a movie where the Annabelle doll was terrorizing. she was just a medium to take a fight against Lorraine Warren, i guess.

one thing more, the movie greatly promotes Catholicism which is very much present in any movie that fights evil.
well you have to check it out in the movies which opens August 21. directed by James Wan, The Conjuring is produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema. distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures (Philippines)
