The ‘original” supernatural chiller INSIDIOUS which had its world premiere in the Midnight Madness program at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival will make its debut on the cable channel FEARnet on Sunday, September 8, and on VOD starting Wednesday, September 11 before the theatrical release of the film’s sequel INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 2 on Friday, September 13.
INSIDIOUS – directed by James Wan and written by Leigh Whannell, the famed horror team behind SAW – stars Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne as Josh and Renai Lambert, parents whose son has fallen into a coma, following a mysterious incident in the attic. Things get much worse for the family, as their son’s illness leads to a terrifying encounter with malevolent ghouls, and a journey into the realm of the dead known as “The Further.” The film was released theatrically in the U.S. by FilmDistrict on April 1, 2011, and has grossed $97 million worldwide. With the picture’s reported $1.5 million budget, it has led to the film being called the most profitable film of 2011.
Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, and Ty Simpkins will reprise their roles in FilmDistrict’s INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 2 which James Wan, who directed INSIDIOUS, directed from a script written by Leigh Whannell who also wrote the first film.
