So is this supposed to be the real Insidious 4 or Insidious 5?


Insidious: The Red Door (2023) has been marketed as being Insidious 4.

So what the hell does this make Insidious: The Last Key (2018) to be?

I thought this one was supposed to be Insidious 4 and Red Door the Insidious 5...

I would consider it to be Insidious 3.

Insidious 1 & 2 were the main films.. 3 and "The Last Key" were more or less "spin-off" films that didn't have much to do with the original family.

Red Door goes back to the main storyline from 1 & 2 again, therefor I consider it to be the true 3rd film

reply

Cool. My interest fell off with 3 and TLK.

But Insidious 3 is not a spinoff, it's a prequel.

reply

While it's technically a prequel, you could call it a spin-off too. The main family that Insidious is mainly about is absent from the film, and it focuses on a secondary character's backstory, therefor I would also consider it to be a spin-off.

reply

I don't consider it a spinoff because it has obvious connections.

But I see your point.

The same with Insidious: The Last Key.

Glad they didn't number this one. It can just sit on the shelf next to 1 & 2.

I've finally seen the movie and I really liked it.

It's the second best Insidious after the first movie.
