Insidious (2011)

The Insidious franchise has been a financial and critical success, connecting with audiences as it built on a paranormal world created by James Wan and Leigh Whannell. But nothing lasts forever.

With the horror genre having a major moment right now, these are nine awesome crossover ideas that we want to see hit the big screen.

Following the release of Insidious: The Last Key, it sounds like the folks at Blumhouse may want to cross the paranormal series over with another popular horror franchise.

With the release of Insidious: The Last Key, the horror franchise has officially opened to door for another sequel or sequels in this universe. Here's how it could work.

Following the huge releases that came out the last couple of weeks to end 2017, we have a pretty slow one ahead, as we start to move into the tepid box office month that is January.

A new trailer for Insidious: The Last Key has just dropped, and the fourth entry in the horror franchise looks strange, mysterious, and utterly terrifying.

There are some horror movies from the last five years that were dismissed by critics, but deserved more shrift than they got -- and that's what we're here to talk about today.

James Wan directed both Insidious and its sequel Insidious: Chapter 2. But when Fast & The Furious 7 came calling, Wan bailed on the horror franchise, and Blumhouse Productions was tasked with finding a new helmer for their promised Insidious: Chapter 3. But their search was short, and didn't even extend beyond the cast of the haunted house film series.

The news that Focus Features is moving ahead with Insidious Chapter 3 isn’t entirely surprising (for various reasons, which we’ll discuss), but there are some major questions that are going to have to be answered before the movie opens in theaters.

The entire regular cast, from Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne to the great Lin Shaye, are reprising their roles from the original film, which was a huge, huge hit in 2011. This could be the back of young Ty Simpkins’ head. It was his character, Dalton Lambert, who became possessed by a witch, forcing his dad (Wilson) to confront his own dark past.

A sequel was bound to happen because it was one of the most successful horror films of last year. On top of the bags of money that the flick brought in, it was also a pretty solid film with some genuine scares. It helps when the cast has talented players like Wilson and Rose Byrne, who at the moment have not announced their return.I would imagine, since Wilson was willing to sign up for The Conjuring - or whatever they end up calling it - that he's likely, if needed, to be on board.

In a surprise move, perennial horror director James Wan is making another scary movie. After getting his start with the first Saw film, Wan made a few other middling entries in the genre before returning to success with Insidious. Looking to keep at least part of that winning formula together, the film’s star Patrick Wilson, as well as the great Vera Farmiga, may join his newest film called Conjuring, which is apparently based on a true story.

Hawke has signed on to the latest Scott Derrickson picture, an as-yet-untitled genre film that will be produced by Jason Blum (Insidious, Paranormal Activity). Derrickson, who directed 2005’s bare-bones exercise The Exorcism of Emily Rose, will begin shooting the picture in September.

Wan’s currently in “final negotiations,” according to Variety, to helm the haunted-house drama The Conjuring for New Line. Wan’s idea behind the story centers on the real-life account of the Perron family, a Rhode Island clan who claimed to live among the dead -- both evil and kindhearted spirits

Insidious came into theaters in April and made over $50 million on a $1.5 million budget. So if you haven’t seen the film, you might want to check it out when it comes to Blu-ray and DVD on July 12.

This weekend Hop, and its relatively small $63 million budget, proved that you don't have to spend a ton of money to make a computer animated movie. Of course, it also proved the point that you get what you pay for. The cutesy yet rated-PG attempt at capitolizing on an Easter-ish franchise got a mediocre reception, both from critics and audiences.

Knowing was kind of creepy and 28 Weeks Later pretty suspenseful, but you’ve never seen Rose Byrne handle horror as she does in Insidious. She stars as Renai, a loving mother and wife who moves into a brand new home with her family.

After the success of the Saw franchise and Paranormal Activity, who passes up the opportunity to work with James Wan, Leigh Whannell, Jason Blum and Oren Peli on a horror flick? Certainly not Patrick Wilson and who teamed up not only with the best of the best in the horror genre...

Though I've read quite a bit about James Wan's Insidious, apparently I've misunderstood the film entirely. I was under the impression that it was about parents trying to prevent evil spirits from getting to their comatose son. Instead, if I understand the poster correctly, this is the zombie version of the Justin Bieber movie.

I can’t decide how I feel about Insidious yet. It stars some under-the-radar actors that I thoroughly enjoy like Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne, it seems like it’ll be a scary thrill ride, but something doesn’t feel right. Maybe it’s the “it’s not the house that’s haunted...it’s your son” line that reminds me so much of Paranormal Activity’s hook.

The clip builds its tension just like most horror movies, with a darkness and a mystery accompanied by a soundtrack composed of barely noticeable tones in a room full of whispered muttering. Rose Byrne and Patrick

No word on exactly what Insidious will be, other than that Wan is directing the script by Whannell. Wan told Variety the appeal of working with the producers was "their passion for genre films and having the creative control to make auteur-driven pictures"
