Every scene ends so awkwardly. The acting is below average. The story is not compelling, but the concept is quite scary... Predictable but still scary...
There was potential, it wasn't executed well enough... I did, however, enjoy the suspense in the beginning... But it all lead to nothing anyway :)
If you're gonna make a film about A LIE, at least have me believe it in the end... There was no climatic impact and was totally predictable since the first 20min... I was hoping the lie itself was a bit more sinister than some game between teenagers...
Yes, I spoiled it without a LB filter, I want my hour and a half back.
I'm a huge Insidious fan, but this franchise should've died after the second installment.
The Red Door (#5) serves as nothing more than a heartless cash grabber... I couldn't wait for it to end... It is nothing compared to the first and second film.
2 stars for the cinematography though.

Please let go of this franchise!
Just a fun little watch...
I enjoyed it more than I thought I would... Being a fan of the games, I really like how they brought that world to the big screen through a touchy story that I didn't really care much about... but still kinda wanted to see what happens next.
The "scaryness" of it doesn't feel forced and its subtlety is what kept me waiting for the end... It's a unique film and the production design really takes the stand.
Also, nice cinematography.
This film is way better than its IMDB rating... It might be because of the acting, but one cannot overlook a perfectly curated concept and production design just because it lacks some performance queues here and there. The ending left me shook in my seat and I'd definitely watch it again for some science fictional inspiration!
Shyamalan truly challenged himself in this suspenseful concept of feeling trapped in a place full of people.
The only problem I have with this narrative is that the main character does not feel like a real serial killer as sold in the baseline of the story. If the film is going to be about a man who butchers people for fun, at least give us some backstory or flashback to make it feel believable considering his situation of finally being…
