To those wishing to see more of Daltons and the Further after Insidious: The Red Door, these films should present a similar cinema voyage into the supernatural.
The Lambert family embarks on their greatest journey into the Further with Insidious: The Red Door. In the franchise’s fifth film, an adult Dalton and his estranged father, Josh, must reconcile and unearth their repressed memories of Further to close the door to the other side once and for all.
Despite premiering with mixed reviews, audiences can agree that Patrick Wilson’s directorial debut makes for a touching and terrifying conclusion for the series (for now). To audiences wishing to see more of Daltons and the Further, these five films should present a similar cinema voyage into the supernatural.Poltergeist (1982)
Many people have drawn comparisons between Insidious and Poltergeist, with James Wan citing the latter as one of his all-time favorite horror movies. Both films depict an ordinary family tormented by spirits from another realm who target one of the children under the orders of a powerful demon. A psychic investigator also helps both families deal with the paranormal threat in each franchise.
But while the origins of Poltergeist‘s “Beast” was elaborated on in its sequels, the Lipstick Face Demon remains a mystery in the Insidious series, which has kept him consistently terrifying to audiences for five films.
Poltergeist can be rented or purchased on Prime Video and other digital vendors.Doctor Sleep (2019)
Set decades after his nightmarish getaway in The Shining, the underrated sequel Doctor Sleep focuses on recovering alcoholic Dan Torrance and his quest to protect a child with his powers from a cult of psychics hoping to feed on her energy. Just as Dalton is haunted by the ghosts that once tormented him in Insidious, Dan continues to be stalked by the spirits of the Overlook Hotel, particularly the rotting woman of Room 237.
