Actor Patrick Wilson makes his directorial debut with the fifth Insidious film, and the cast has now been confirmed.

The Insidious franchise has done huge business for Blumhouse Productions. The first film, released in 2010, was made for just over a million dollars with a box office gross of almost a hundred million. With such a business model, it is unsurprising that we’re now talking about the fifth entry in the franchise.

Much like creator Leigh Wannell’s Saw series, the chronology of the Insidious films has not been one straight line. The upcoming fifth film is actually a direct sequel to Insidious 2, the two films in between being prequels to the original.

The official synopsis for Insidious 5 reads as follows:

Josh Lambert heads east to drop his son Dalton off at an idyllic, ivy-covered university. However, Dalton’s college dream becomes a nightmare when the repressed demons of his past suddenly return to haunt them both.

Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne reprises their roles as Josh and Renai Lambert, with Ty Simpkins as their son Dalton. Sinclair Daniel, Peter Dager, and Hiam Abbass are new additions to the ensemble.

Wilson also makes his directorial debut with the film. The screenplay is written by Halloween Kills writer Scott Teems, working from a story by franchise creator Leigh Whannell.

Wilson said of the film that “I’m honored and thrilled to be at the helm of the next Insidious installment, which will provide an amazing chance to unpack everything the Lamberts went through a decade ago, as well as deal with the consequences of their choices. Directing the movie is both professionally and personally a full circle moment for me, and I am extremely grateful to be entrusted in continuing to tell this frightening and haunting story. Into the further we go…”

Insidious 5 will be released on 7th July 2023.
