Insidious 5 Plot Details Reveal Film’s Timeline & Setting
New story details from Insidious 5 have been revealed. The Blumhouse horror franchise began with 2011's Insidious, a haunted house film directed by James Wan and written by Leigh Whannell, who had previously collaborated on Saw and Dead Silence. That film introduced Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Renai Lambert (Rose Byrne) and their sons Dalton (Ty Simpkins) and Foster (Andrew Astor). When Dalton begins to be haunted by horrifying apparitions from The Further, the family calls upon medium Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) to help, along with her bumbling sidekicks Specs (Whannell) and Tucker (Angus Sampson). The first sequel followed the Lamberts yet again, while Insidious 3 and 4 were prequels showing some of the early adventures of Elise, Specs, and Tucker.
Although it's been five years since the most recent entry, Insidious: The Last Key, Insidious 5 is finally in production and coming to theaters on July 7, 2023. For the first time, neither Wan nor Whannell is writing or directing the upcoming entry, though they are keeping the project in the family. Wilson will be taking the reins, making his directorial debut while also reprising the role of Josh, working from a script from Halloween Kills and Firestarter scribe Scott Teems. Simpkins will also be returning as Dalton, though there is no word on if the film will feature the return of any other original Insidious cast members.
