Insidieux : La porte rouge

 These are the elements that Insidious elevated (and that Ari Aster sprung Hereditary from), but depending on their design and execution they can be spooky -- or banal -- as hell. For a first-time director, Patrick Wilson doesn't do a bad job, but he's working with tropes that have already been worked to death. It's time to close this carnival of souls down.

Series fans will enjoy the reappearances of many characters from the other films, including Lin Shaye's psychic (she died in a previous installment, but death is no impediment to cameos in films like this), although it's unfortunate that the always-welcome Byrne is relegated to a minor role.

Or, s'il demeure respectueux des canons de la série, le scénario, par manque de réelle imagination, peine à captiver.
