Insidious: The Red Door (2023)

Insidious: The Red Door is the latest installment in the franchise with Patrick Wilson staring and directing.

Patrick Wilson has been in a lot of James Wan's films. This is his first attempt at directing. He doesn't do too bad of a job either. You might recognize him from the other Insidious movies and The Conjuring, he's also Nite Owl in Watchmen, and King Orm from Aquaman. In terms of acting he has to deal with a lot in the film as a father who has sort of lost his mojo. Solid performance and good entry into directing.

Ty Simpkins played Dalton in 2010 and again here in the latest Insidious. It's nice to see that child actors can sometimes still end up as good actors when they get older. You might recognize him from Jurassic World as Gray, or Harley Keener in Iron Man 3 and Avengers: Endgame.

Newcomer Sinclair Daniel did a great job but had a line when she was being introduced that was totally unnecessary and just woke. She was believable and likable after that. She's also gorgeous which doesn't hurt. She hasn't done much and this is her first movie, though she's done some TV series.

The result for Insidious: The Red Door is a B-. It's above average for a horror movie in 2023.

Psycho Killer (2026)

Psycho Killer (2026) is a religious-tinged detective thriller that leans far more into procedural tension than outright horror. Directed by Gavin Polone , who is better known as a producer than a filmmaker, the movie benefits heavily from its screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker , the writer behind Se7en . His fingerprints are all over this. The writing is sharp, layered with foreshadowing that only fully clicks at the end, and structured in a way that constantly feels like it is building toward something inevitable. The gorgeous Georgina Campbell plays the detective tracking down the titular killer, and she carries the film with confidence. You'll remember her from Barbarian and recently Cold Storage. The script gives her plenty of emotional range to explore, from controlled professionalism to visible cracks under pressure. She handles the lore-heavy exposition well and grounds what could have been overwhelming backstory. It is another strong showing for her and proof she c...

Cold Storage (2026)

Cold Storage (2026) is a sci fi horror thriller that surprised me in a good way. The writing is solid enough that it actually calmed some of my worries about Disclosure Day coming later this year since the same writer is involved. The story holds together and stays engaging, even when the visuals do not. The CG is laughably bad at times, but the acting/chemistry keeps the movie watchable. Jonny Campbell directs, with the screenplay by David Koepp , known for Jurassic Park and Spider-Man . His writing here is tighter than expected, which is why it gives me more confidence about Disclosure Day. The direction is straightforward and lets the script do most of the work, even if the effects budget clearly limits what can be shown on screen. He needs a redemption after Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Joe Keery , known for Stranger Things and Free Guy , is the main reason I showed up. He proves he can handle a leading role after Stranger Things and carries the film with a relax...

Crime 101 (2026)

Crime 101 (2026) is a crime thriller that checks the basic boxes of what should work, but the writing never tightens enough to make it compelling. It hits familiar beats, runs longer than it should, and never quite earns its tension. It feels like a good movie outline stretched into a full runtime. Bart Layton , known for American Animals and The Imposter , directs, and his uneven filmography shows here. The structure is serviceable, but the pacing drags and the scenes lack urgency. The direction is competent without being memorable, and the film never finds a sharp identity. Chris Hemsworth , known for Thor and Extraction , plays the reclusive criminal at the center of the story. He tries to lean into a quieter, more internal performance, but he does not fully sell the damaged foster child mentality the script is aiming for. The performance feels like an attempt rather than a transformation. Mark Ruffalo , recognized for Spotlight and The Avengers , feels like he is on autopilo...
