Calling all horror fans! If you were lined up at the theater to watch films like Obsession, Backrooms and Evil Dead Burn, you’ve probably already heard of the latest Insidious film. Insidious: Out of the Further released over the weekend, and it’s already one of the most talked-about horror films. Produced by Blumhouse, this is the sixth installment of the Insidious franchise, and it’s even darker and scarier than the previous ones.
Insidious: Out of the Futher follows Gemma, a young mother who discovers she can travel into another realm: the further. After something evil comes after her and her daughter, she realizes she has the dangerous, uncontrollable power of bringing demons into the real world.
The film stars Amelia Eve (The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor) as Gemma, alongside Lin Shaye, who stars in the previous Insidious films. Since its opening on Friday, August 21, the film has already earned over $25 million domestically and $60 million globally on an $18 million budget. On opening night, the movie grossed $10.6 million across 3,303 North American theaters. So, what does this mean for the film? As the weeks go on, we can expect showings to fill and box office numbers to rise.
2025 and 2026 have been the years of horror movies, with films like Sinners, Weapons, Obsession and Backrooms surpassing their budgets and receiving praise from audiences. Now, Insidious: Out of the Futher is continuing the trend. While this is the sixth film in the Insidious universe, it shows that fans can’t get enough of horror and original, well-written stories. The film’s predecessor, Insidious: The Red Door, which released in 2023, opened at $33 million and grossed $189.1 million on a $16 million budget.
Insidious: Out of the Futher is now in theaters. Catch a showing before the film leaves, and don’t forget the popcorn and soda!
