Insidious and Insidious: Chapter 2 revolved around the Lambert family as they attempted to rescue their comatose son who was captured by demons in the astral plane. Insidious: Chapter 3, served as a prequel to the franchise with a mostly new cast and was followed by Insidious: The Last Key, another prequel and sequel to the third film. The franchise’s fifth entry, Insidious: The Red Door, took the franchise back to the Lambert family and served as a direct continuation to the second film. The film also served as Patrick Wilson’s directorial debut.
