One Of 2023’s Biggest Box Office Horror Surprises Now Tops The Netflix Streaming Charts

I still remember driving an hour to the Annapolis Mall in Maryland to check out this new scary movie titled Insidious. At that time, I should note I wasn’t the biggest fan of James Wan’s work (sorry, Dead Silence fans). I checked my expectations at the concession counter. Little did I know, it would springboard into one of my favorite contemporary horror franchises. Over a decade later, Insidious is still successfully dragging audiences into the further.

Now, the Patrick Wilson-directed fifth entry, Insidious: The Red Door, is the number one horror movie streaming on Netflix. Check out a trailer and synopsis below:

Per Netflix: To put their demons to rest once and for all, Josh Lambert and a college-aged Dalton Lambert must go deeper into The Further than ever before, facing their family’s dark past and a host of new and more horrifying terrors that lurk behind the red door.

Insidious: The Red Door doesn’t go full legacy sequel, though it does bring back the original cast as it picks up with the Lambert clan years after they successfully freed patriarch Josh from the clutches of the undead. It’s born of trauma (and great scares), and is arguably the strongest entry in the series since the first. In our review of the film, Josh Korngut called it, “a fun and easy haunted house attraction worth the price of admission.” Audiences can decide for themselves over on Netflix.

Those audiences who have checked it out have been loving it. Even with Halloween over, there’s never a bad time to dim the lights, pop some corn, and turn on a scary movie. Fans have taken to Twitter to share their reactions.
