INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 4 Is Officially in Development
The first two Insidious films that were directed by James Wan are in my hall of horror movie masterpieces. Screenwriter and co-creator Leigh Whannell took over directing duties for Insidious: Chapter 3, and it didn’t live up to the expectations or standards that were set by the first two films, but the franchise will continue!
Blumhouse has announced their plans to develop Insidious: Chapter 4, which will continue the story of the supernatural horror franchise. The fourth film will be directed by a newcomer by the name of Adam Robitel (The Taking of Deborah Logan), and the script for the film will be written by Whannell, who wrote the first three films. I'm curious to see where he takes this latest addition to the story. Hopefully, it's better than the last one.
Jason Blum, Oren Peli and co-creator James Wan will all come back on board to produce the movie. It was also revealed that Lin Shaye, who has starred in the first three films will reprise her role as parapsychologist Elise Rainier.
Insidious: Chapter 4 is set to be released on October 20th, 2017.
