1/20/2024 0 Comments Insidious chapter 4![]() ![]() As long as you build on that, yeah, then we can have some crazy scares. What are they dealing with? There's a lot of emotional fallout from the second movie, so that's why I wanted to treat this in a very realistic way. This for me started with the story of what's the trauma. If all that stuff came back to you, it's not just the jump scares that you're mining this field to try to come up with creative scares. I can't help as a father, just in my own life, to know what is the recourse of that. “They went through some very, very traumatic experiences in the second movie. That's not to take away from any other Insidious movie, but I really wanted to get to the core of these people, specifically Josh and Dalton,” Wilson said. I think you want to satisfy the fans with jump scares, but there's an emotional level to this movie because of what they're going through. “I certainly wanted to push the envelope to the things that I respond to. While the Insidious franchise is known for its infamous jump scares, Wilson wanted to make sure the scares he and his team crafted were all generated from “a very emotional perspective.” You're dealing with a lot of very heavy subjects, but there's really no better genre to explore that than horror because it really becomes very operatic. “I wanted to take all these little breadcrumbs that James had left along the way and what does that do to a kid in college? I just dove in from there and the generational curses and giving to the relationship of father and son and what that does to their relationship and the aftermath of what happened in Insidious 2. “That's something that I wanted to latch onto because artwork and even young Dalton's artwork was really the key in the first movie.” ‘Anybody that goes to an arts-related program, you can even think of Whiplash in the music world, what it does to you as a person because it makes you look at not just technically how you play, but who are you as an artist,” Wilson said. In the film, Dalton leaves home for college so Wilson drew on his own experiences as a theater student at Carnegie Mellon to help flesh out Dalton’s journey in the story. What does that mean? When does a curse become a blessing? Is a blessing a curse?” I really wanted to finish this Lambert trilogy and I wanted to, again, without giving the storyline away, I wanted to push this generational curse even more. “I wanted to unpack everything that happened at the end of Insidious 2. What would happen 10 years after you were hypnotized if that either wore off or broke through?” I read the synopsis and then crafted, without giving too much away, but crafted this story that I would want to tell about a father-son relationship. It needed to be something that I believed in and was passionate about because I knew it was going to live with me for several years. I know I can do it, so it wasn't a question of just finding anything to direct. I had no desire to, oh, just want to direct to see what it's like. Wilson stressed that Insidious: The Red Door “was not a vanity project for me. So it felt right that he was making the transition into directing, and I couldn’t be happier that he’s doing it with the Insidious franchise.” We would geek out over movies all the time in between our setups, and making movie references on set became our shorthand. He is extremely knowledgeable about cinema and its craft. I’ve gotten to know Patrick very well over the years of collaboration, and I know what a film buff he is. Wan – who has so far directed Wilson in the Insidious, Conjuring, and Aquaman franchises – told IGN via email, “I was thrilled to hear Patrick wanted to continue the journey of Insidious as a director. My fear of wanting to step into this genre and specifically back into the Insidious world and take the reins, it lasted about 24 hours.” The more I thought about it, kind of like with acting choices … if a role makes me uneasy and I can't wrap my head around it and it scares me to do it, then usually that's a really good thing. “I started to think about the story and the kind of story that I would want to tell. Ultimately, that lasted for about 24 hours,” Wilson recalled. “I think I was scared of trying to fit in James' shoes and Leigh’s and gosh, the comparisons. ![]()
