2023 has been an exceptional year for horror enthusiasts, and the excitement continues with the release of “Insidious: The Red Door,” the fifth installment in the successful Blumhouse and James Wan franchise. Directed by the talented Patrick Wilson, who also stars in the film, this new chapter brings back the beloved Lambert family. But now, the marketing campaign offers fans a unique opportunity to enter “The Further” by calling a haunted number.
Be prepared to summon your courage and dial 310-634-1918, where you will be greeted by none other than Elise, portrayed by Lin Shaye herself. Elise will guide you through a countdown, reminiscent of her rituals in the film series. After a bone-chilling demonic sound, you will have officially entered “The Further,” and the call will abruptly end. Additionally, if you send a text message to the same number, you will gain exclusive access to the Insidious fan community on Sony’s webpage, where you can enjoy exclusive content related to “The Red Door” before its theatrical release.
What’s The Red Door About?
“Insidious: The Red Door” takes place ten years after the events of “Chapter 2,” with the Lambert family preparing Dalton (played by Ty Simpkins) for college. The second film ended with a severance of the dark ties between Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Dalton from “The Further.” However, malevolent and powerful demons cannot be kept at bay for long, and in “The Red Door,” they seek vengeance. “The Further,” an otherworldly realm that has evolved throughout the franchise, can be compared to the eerie Upside Down from “Stranger Things.” It is a dimension outside of time and space, inhabited by iconic entities such as “The Lipstick Face Demon” and “The Bride in Black.”
However, in “The Further,” not only do malicious entities reside, but there are also benevolent spirits like Elise, who serve as beacons of light for lost souls. Although Elise was killed by a possessed Josh in the first film, she has remained a central figure in the series, appearing in every installment. Given her deceased state, it will be intriguing to see how she is utilized in “Red Door.” Regardless, Lin Shaye’s performance has consistently been one of the highlights of the entire Insidious franchise.
When Does The Red Door Release?
“Insidious: The Red Door” will terrify audiences when it hits theaters on July 7, 2023. While it may mark the final chapter for the unfortunate Lambert family, the franchise will continue with a future spin-off titled “Thread: An Insidious Tale.” In the meantime, you can venture into “The Further” by calling or texting the provided number.
