Beau Is AfraidâApril 21, 2023
An anxiety-ridden man who embarks on a surreal odyssey home after his motherâs sudden death, confronting his greatest fears along the way.Â
We are no strangers to the talented director Ari Aster.  He is known for writing and directing the horror films Hereditary and Midsommar. As a filmmaker and a lover of film, I am very aware of his work before he went mainstream. His indie work was impeccable, unlike anyone Iâve ever seen. His mind-bending twisted films challenge our subconscious and the very way we live our own lives. We learn this in his award-winning short The Strange Thing About the Johnsons a beautifully captured yet twisted story about a young boy who is involved in an abusive incestuous relationship with the family patriarch. Watching it I was very disturbed but stories like these happen every day, and the truth isnât pretty. I couldnât look away but then I thought, thatâs what we need. More filmmakers who arenât afraid to bring awareness in the hope of change, with these dark subjects.
Ari Aster is a visionary one of a kind in this new film starring the unbelievably talented Joaquin Phoenix. Joaquin is no stranger to controversial subjects. He plays complex characters, unlike any other actor Iâve seen.  Beau Is Afraid is visually stunning. Every frame in this trailer made me more excited about this film. I couldnât help but wonder, is this a stand-alone project or is it inspired by his short film titled Beau which he made back in 2011? A neurotic middle-aged manâs trip to visit his mother is delayed indefinitely when his keys are mysteriously taken from his door. He is subsequently haunted by an increasingly sinister chain of upsetting events. Whatever the case may be. Iâm looking forward to seeing this nightmare unfold.
Insidious: The Red DoorâJuly 7, 2023
Patrick Wilson, who played Josh Lambert in the previous two films, said in 2020 that he would be returning to the series as the *director* of the next fifth film.
In the brand-new movie for this year, Rose Byrne will also appear as Renai Lambert with Patrick Wilson and Ty Simpkins as Dalton Lambert.
Insidious: The Red Door picks up 10 years after the events of the last film with the Lambert family.

Wilson will make his directorial debut with this. The script was written by Halloween Killsâ Scott Teems based on a tale by The Invisible Manâs Leigh Whannell, who also co-created the franchise.
In a statement from back in 2020, Wilson stated, âIâm delighted and thrilled to be in charge of the next Insidious chapter, which will give a fantastic chance to explore all the Lamberts went through a decade ago, as well as cope with the ramifications of their actions. For me, directing the film is a professional and personal âfull circleâ moment, and I am deeply honored to be trusted with continuing to convey this spooky and eerie tale.
Leigh Whannell and James Wan collaborated to create the first two Insidious films, which focused on the Lambert family and their horrifying battles in The Further. Insidious: The Last Key, the most current installment in the series, came out in 2018.
