The latest installment of the Insidious franchise released in theaters first, but here is where to watch Insidious: The Red Door on streaming and digital. James Wan and Leigh Whannell launched another successful horror franchise in 2010 with the first Insidious. The horror movies revolve around the Lambert family and psychic Elise Rainer as they encounter ghosts and demons from The Further. After following the Lambert family for the first two movies and then shifting the franchise to prequels about Elise, the Insidious 5 cast brings the various story threads together for another thrill following the Lamberts.
The Insidious movies have continued to be made for more than a decade due to the consistent box office success of the franchise, and the 2023 horror movie continued to show how strong of a performer the franchise is. Plenty of people watched Insidious: The Red Door‘s ending in theaters and saw how the movie set up the future of Blumhouse’s franchise. There are more ways to watch Insidious 5 than in theaters, as the movie’s release on streaming and digital services provides opportunities to see it at home. Here is what to know about how to watch Insidious: The Red Door.
Insidious: The Red Door Will Stream On Netflix
The Insidious franchise is overseen by Blumhouse Productions, but the horror-focused studio has seen different distributors get involved with the series over the years. Although Universal handled Insidious: The Last Key, Sony Pictures and Screen Gems are in charge of Insidious: The Red Door. Sony does not have its own streaming service like Universal, Paramount, Disney, or Warner Bros. The studio has instead signed a deal with Netflix that gives the streaming service first rights to stream Sony theatrical releases. Insidious: The Red Door falls under that agreement, meaning it will be released on Netflix first.
Insidious 5‘s streaming release will begin on Netflix, but no release date has been announced so far. However, Sony also came to a deal with Disney for the Pay 2 window. This means each Sony movie will go to Disney Plus or Hulu after they leave Netflix. Considering the scary nature of the Insidious movies, it is more likely that Insidious: The Red Door will stream on Hulu instead of Disney Plus after it leaves Netflix even if it is only rated PG-13.
Insidious 5 Is Available To Rent & Buy: Platforms & Cost Breakdown
Insidious: The Red Door is currently available to rent and buy digitally on a variety of PVOD services. Sony officially released the movie in this way on August 1, 2023, just 27 days after its theatrical debut. Insidious: The Red Door is available on Apple TV+, Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube, Vudu, Microsoft, and Spectrum. The cost to rent Insidious: The Red Door is $5.99 on Apple TV+, Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube, Vudu, and Microsoft, while it costs $6.99 on Spectrum. The price to purchase the movie on VOD is $19.99 across all services, but it is not available to buy on Spectrum.
Based on the cost breakdown for Insidious: The Red Door‘s digital release, renting is the cheaper option for people wanting to watch the movie. However, if someone is already invested in the franchise or knows they like the movie from a theatrical viewing and want to rewatch it over the years, buying the sequel digitally would be more cost-effective. There is also the option to buy a physical copy of the movie through its home video release, as Insidious: The Red Door can be purchased on Blu-ray for $22.96 at Amazon, $24.99 at Target, and $27.99 at Best Buy, to name a few options.
