Insidious: The Red Door's Patrick Wilson on how his personal life influenced the horror sequel

Patrick Wilson as Josh and Ty Simpkins as Dalton in Insidious: The Red Door

This article contains mild spoilers for Insidious: The Red Door. If you've yet to watch the movie, and don't want to know anything ahead of time, turn back now.

Patrick Wilson is no stranger to scary movies, having fronted horror franchises The Conjuring and Insidious over the past 13 years. Until the latter's latest chapter though, Insidious: The Red Door, he wasn't so familiar with directing one. For the fifth instalment, the actor stepped behind the camera for the first time and took the series back to its beginning, bringing back Josh Lambert and his family from the original film and Insidious: Chapter 2 – a narrative choice that only came about when Wilson, who plays Josh, signed on to helm the sequel in 2019.
