Insidious: The Red Door--the fifth film in this long-running horror series--has provided a new landmark for star Patrick Wilson: It's his first film in the director's chair. In a lot of different ways, it's an ideal situation for Wilson specifically.

He starred in the first two Insidious movies, both of which were put together by director James Wan, who also worked with Wilson on the first two Conjuring movies as well as both Aquaman films. Having one of the best working filmmakers on speed dial is probably pretty helpful when you're taking your first big-screen directing gig.

But even more than that, we're talking about a series that Wilson feels at home in, with a cast and crew that he's known forever and who wanted to help execute his vision. And it's a franchise with a consistent audience. It's good work if you can get it, and you can feel Wilson's level of comfort as you watch the movie.
