Insidious The Red Door Interview: Ty Simpkins & Sinclair Daniel
62One of the biggest highlights of the new Insidious movie, Insidious: The Red Door? It sees the return of the entire Lambert family — Ty Simpkins as Dalton, Patrick Wilson as Josh, Rose Byrne as Renai, and Andrew Astor as Foster, with Juliana Davies stepping in to play Kali. With such a heavy emphasis on the franchise’s core family, it can’t be easy being the Insidious newcomer in film five, but Sinclair Daniel seemingly had no problem seizing that opportunity and making the absolute most of it. Not only does she support Dalton’s journey well by playing his one and only close friend in college, but she also makes her own character, Chris, one of the richest of the bunch, an electric force who’s a blast to watch and root for.
The Red Door takes place well after the events of Insidious: Chapter Two. The memory suppression technique has kept Dalton and Josh safe from the evil entities of The Further, but it came with some side effects. In particular, Josh complains of a foggy feeling, a sensation that contributes to causing a significant rift between him and his family, particularly Dalton. When that shield from The Further starts to crumble while Dalton’s away for his first year of college, they both come to realize that the only way to forge forward is to remember and accept, not forget, and that they must do that together.
With Insidious: The Red Door now playing in theaters nationwide, I got the chance to have a brief chat with Simpkins and Daniel about their journey making the film. Check out what Simpkins had to say about working with Wilson as a co-star and as a director this time around and hear all about Daniel’s experience joining a long-running franchise in the fifth installment in this Insidious: The Red Door interview!
