Explained simply
Insidious is a supernatural horror film series created by James Wan and Leigh Whannell. Its stories centre on people whose spirits become trapped in, or threatened by, a shadowy other world known as the Further.
The franchise began in 2010 and has followed several families and paranormal investigators, including the psychic Elise Rainier, played by Lin Shaye. The Further is presented as a dangerous realm inhabited by hostile spirits that can cross into the living world.
The new film continues the series’ long-running focus on possession, family danger and contact with the dead. Its connection to the previous film and the return of Elise link it to characters and ideas familiar to established viewers, while introducing a new family at the centre of the story.
