Do I Need To Watch the Other Insidious Movies Before The Red Door?

Those wondering whether or not they need to watch the other Insidious movies before seeing The Red Door will find the answer in this guide. Also, for those who are looking to watch all of the previous movies ahead of Insidious 5, I’ve listed them in both chronological and release orders.

Do I need to watch the other Insidious movies to understand The Red Door?

To fully understand Insidious: The Red Door, you will want to have seen the previous four movies.

Insidious: The Red Door will feature characters from the previous movies. The movie will assume that the viewer knows about previous events and hauntings from the past films.

For those who aren’t able to watch the other movies before seeing Insidious: The Red Door, don’t fret. Insidious 5 should still hold up as a standalone experience with plenty of frightening moments and a clear battle between good and evil.

There is also the potential for a recap of past movies from the main characters. This is often done by the protagonist explaining to a newcomer within the movie, indirectly informing the audience. However, the exposition is likely to be kept very concise.
