What to Expect When You’re Insidious (CREDIT: Screen Gems)

Starring: Ty Simpkins, Patrick Wilson, Sinclair Daniel, Rose Byrne, Andrew Astor, Hiam Abbass, Lin Shaye

Director: Patrick Wilson

Running Time: 107 Minutes

Rating: PG-13

Release Date: July 7, 2023 (Theaters)

As someone whose favorite color is red, I resent what the latest Insidious has to say about bloody-looking entryways. It literally demonizes red doors! (Or at least one red door in particular.) And then it blots it out with black, which was my favorite color when I was a youngster, but now I’m wary of it because it catches the sun’s rays thoroughly.

Anyway, I’m glad to see Patrick Wilson make his directorial debut, and I’m also happy that death couldn’t keep a certain someone from making a return appearance.

Grade: 2.5 Lams out of 5 Berts
