Insidious, a 2010 Horror film about family, specters from beyond, and their grip on the material world, became a massive success. With Insidious James Wan, who had already cemented his reputation through producing films in another impressive horror franchise, Saw held nothing back, making an amazing show of his incredible talent. Horror fans were so taken with the movie that it rapidly expanded into a burgeoning franchise with four films and an upcoming fifth. Despite anxious anticipation for the fifth, there was little inclination that there would be more additions to the franchise, especially a feature that would veer from the current course.
