🎬 Insidious Series Review and Critique

The script opens with a greeting and introduces the topic of reviewing the Insidious film series, which has garnered a significant audience and critical attention. It mentions that the latest installment, Insidious: The Red Door, has received mixed reviews worldwide. The speaker suggests that while the series started strong with the first two films, it has seen a decline in quality since chapter 3. Despite this, the new film attempts to revive the spirit of the original Insidious, which was released in 2010. The script also clarifies that Insidious is not part of The Conjuring Universe, contrary to some viewers' beliefs, due to actor Patrick Wilson's involvement in both series. The character he plays in each series is different, with George Lambert in Insidious and Ed Warren in The Conjuring. The setting of The Red Door is 10 years after the events of Insidious Chapter 2, focusing on the Lambert family's struggle to live a normal life after their terrifying experiences. The film's goal is to close the dimensional terror to allow the family to live peacefully, and it explores the origins of the red door, a spiritual gateway between two worlds introduced in the first Insidious film.

👻 Analysis of Insidious: The Red Door's Performance and Reception

The second paragraph delves into the performance of the cast in Insidious: The Red Door, highlighting Patrick Wilson's efforts to rejuvenate the series despite the film's shortcomings. It compares his performance to his roles in The Conjuring Universe and notes that while his acting remains strong, the film itself does not live up to the high expectations set by the first two Insidious films. The character development of Dalton, who has grown from a child to a young man, is mentioned as a positive aspect, as it provides balance to the storyline. However, the character of Rose Byrne is criticized for losing her appeal due to limited screen time. The script also discusses the film's supporting characters and their roles, emphasizing the importance of a well-rounded cast. The horror elements of the film are critiqued for being predictable and formulaic, with jumpscares that, while effective in causing panic, do not add a unique or special touch to the overall experience. The film is described as suitable for those who enjoy the Insidious Universe and are not overly concerned with the intricacies of the horror genre, but it falls short for true horror enthusiasts seeking a compelling story and depth. The script concludes with the hope that future installments will learn from the shortcomings of Insidious: The Red Door and deliver a fresher, more engaging experience.

meraup jumlah penonton besar bakal jadi

jaminan Filmnya akan memuaskan ya kayak

film Insidious ini total udah 5 film kan

sejak dirilis pertama kali 2010 lalu nah

film terbarunya ternyata Mendulang

sejumlah kritikan tajam oleh para

penonton di seluruh belahan dunia Apakah

kalian termasuk Seburuk itukah film ini

Mari kita bahas

seburuk komentar Mereka emang betul

Insidious dimulai chapter 3 mulai

mengalami penurunan kualitas tapi ya

kalau untuk film ini tidak seburuk itu

bukan yang terbaik juga sih tapi sudah

mencoba mengembalikan Citra Insidious

yang kita kenal sejak 2010 Lalu by the

way dicatat tbsd Insidious bukan bagian

dari The Conjuring Universe kemarin

sempat ada penonton si paling tahu

bilang Kalau Insidious the reddoor ini

termasuk dalam The Conjuring Universe

bukan karena Patrick Wilson main di dua

film horor kayak Insidious dan The

Conjuring Universe Jadi kalian bilang

dia adalah orang yang sama dengan peran

yang sama beda orangnya memang sama tapi

perannya berbeda kalau di Insidious

karakternya bernama George Lambert kalau

di di Conjuring namanya edwaren Jangan

sampai salah lagi ya Jangan sampai salah

lagi Insidious the reddoor mengambil

latar 10 tahun sekolah film Insidious

Chapter 2 so masih berkutan dengan

keluarga lineboard yang mencoba hidup

normal nih setelah kejadian menakutkan

menimpa keluarga mereka sekian lama 10

tahun hidup tanpa rasa takut mungkin

karena Udah kebal aja ya sama teror

hantu-hantu ini Nah anak mereka si

Dalton

lagi sama para setan-setan yang semula

hilang dan tiba-tiba nongol lagi nih So

inti dari film ini adalah masih sama

seperti film-film sebelumnya mengakhiri

teror paradimen supaya mereka bisa hidup

dengan tenang

kalau dibandingkan sama The Lucky ya

Film ini sebenarnya 11-12 sih grade

doorz masih lebih kompleks lah ketimbang

delaski karena mulai menjelajahi cerita

yang sebenarnya jadi awal mula semuanya

pintu merah yang selalu jadi media

spiritual antara gerbang Dua Dunia yang

muncul sejak film Insidious pertama 2010

lalu kalau kalian anggap film ini akan

sempurna harus kuingatkan buang

jauh-jauh Harapan itu filmnya tidak

buruk memang masih tetap menyenangkan

buat diikuti menyeramkan buat menikmati

jumpscare khas Insidious tapi mohon

dicatat Insidious the reddoor tetap

tidak lebih baik dari 2 film pertamanya

Ironi emang sudah film kelima loh

ternyata Insidious nggak bisa

memperbahasain kualitasnya Ya emang

bukan kualitas yang jempolan juga sih

dua film pertama Insidious paling baik

lah dibandingkan film-film setelahnya

Apa karena game semuanya yang jadi

sutradaranya mungkin saja iya

meninggalkan pengaruh besar sama 2 film

pertama Insidious sebelum pada akhirnya

dirinya fokus dengan nge Aquaman dan

project-project lanjutan The Conjuring

yang ternyata malahan sukses ada jarak 5

tahun sejak film terakhir Insidious the

last key seharusnya banyak hal yang bisa

diulik dari kekurangan dua film terakhir

Harusnya bisa jadi tolak ukur untuk

kualitas Insidious the rainder ini

Patrick Wilson terlihat berusaha keras

menghidupkan kembali nyawa dan rasa yang

seperti hilang di Insidious Chapter 3

dan the last kick pengalaman 13 tahun

main di film Insidious dan 9 tahun di

The Conjuring Universe ternyata cukup

jadi bekal dirinya negara film Insidious

the reddoor ini tapi ya sayangnya bekal

tadi enggak dimanfaatkan maksimal

Insidious the reddoor tidak terbul

dengan baik paruh awal kendor

pertengahan mulai ganas Menuju Akhir

sedikit Kedodoran dan tidak memorable

plotnya terasa hambar eksekusinya

terlalu menjenuhkan atmosfer horor

terasa pasaran bukan pasaran lantas

jadinya jelek cuma hal begini sudah

Sering kita temui di banyak film horor

intinya masih menggunakan formulasi lah

yang sudah Sepa ntasnya potensi

Insidious the reddoor ini bisa dapat

eksekusi yang lebih menjanjikan dari

yang sudah ditawarkan

[Musik]

mungkin kalau tujuan kalian sebatas

menikmati film horor dengan seabrek

jumpscare ya Filmnya akan memuaskan tapi

kalau dari awal sudah menaruh ekspektasi

yang sangat tinggi jelas akan ada rasa

kecewa kecil atau mungkin besar setelah

kelar nonton filmnya rasanya Insidious

sudah kehilangan nyawa sejak

ditinggalkan bagi the James one terlepas

the reddoor sudah berusaha maksimal tapi

masih ada yang kurang tapi paling nggak

kekurangan tadi bisa tertutupi dengan

performa Gemilang para case dibandingkan

diri yang mendidik film ini justru

Patrick Wilson malah lebih menjanjikan

jadi actor nyawal filmnya ada di dia

Setidaknya performanya masih bertahan di

sini dan sama baiknya kalau dibandingkan

dengan perannya di Conjuring Universe

Dalton yang sekarang udah jadi

abang-abang nih beruntungnya tokohnya

bisa berkembang dan mengimbangi

partnernya kalaupun nanti Insidious

bakal lanjut lagi mungkin karakter

Dalton ini yang bisa bertahan sementara

itu Rose Burn justru kehilangan

pesonanya yang mungkin karena

screen time sedikit ya Selain itu untuk

cash pendukung ambil bagian yang menarik

meski karakternya cuma pendamping yang

penting Gak penting seperti tokoh Daniel

atau urusan jumpscare tadi udah aku

sampaikan bagus dan royal tapi balik ke

Selera masing-masing ya Pak buatku yang

tipe penonton penakut ini sih sudah

cukup bikin badan bereaksi lebay tapi ya

itu treatment horornya masih membosankan

semua jelas bisa banget diprediksi

kemunculannya ada beberapa adegan G

amscare yang sukses bikin panik tapi

tetap formulatif tidak berasa ada

terlalu yang spesial sebatas ngagetin

tapi enggak kebawa takutnya sampai film

selesai

Insidious the reddoor bukan film yang

tepat buat penikmat film horor sejati

film ini lebih cocok buat kalian yang

secinta mati itu dengan Insidious

Universe dari tahun ke tahun yang lebih

cocok lagi buat pening banget film horor

yang datang ke bioskop tanpa ekspektasi

sekecil apapun cuma pengen nikmati film

dengan popcorn promo atau mungkin Chiki

model selipan di tas terus

di pojokan sama pasangan ahli-ahli

nonton Padahal di hari kesempatan buat

Asoy Geboy eh Tae denger-denger

Insidious The Rider ini jadi film

terakhir Patrick Wilson loh kalaupun itu

benar ya sangat disayangkan sih dirinya

sudah cukup berhasil loh membawa kembali

rasa yang pernah ada di film-film

pertama Insidious terlepas ya belum

maksimal aku nggak bisa merekomendasikan

film ini kalau kalian tipe penonton film

horor yang demennya memperhatikan

kualitas cerita dan tetek bengek di

dalamnya tapi aku bisa sangat

merekomendasikan film ini kalau kalian

yang bodoh amat soal kekurangan Ina itu

yang mungkin bakal mengganggu experience

menonton nantinya Ya sudah saatnya lah

Insidious dan tentunya rumah produksi

memikirkan judul-judul film lainnya film

horor dengan kemasan dan isi cerita yang

jauh lebih segar sutradara yang jempolan

penulis naskah yang Brilian dan jajanan

pemain yang dijamin akan memuaskan By

the way info yang Kuterima setelah

Insidious ini bakal masuk ke kisah Spin

off ya nggak tahu kisah siapa Mungkin

aja

moga-moga Kalau Insidious

yang mengisyaratkan ada entitas baru

berikutnya ya setelah Insidious ini

bolehlah judulnya jadi Insidious oil

Insidious airy room apapun itu yang

penting kualitas ceritanya harus number

one Ya silahkan ditonton
