Elise Returns As A Ghost In Insidious: The Red Door's Ending
Given when the movie takes place, Elise can only appear at the end of Insidious: The Red Door as a ghost. She's already been dead over a decade after Josh strangled her when he was possessed by the Black Bride at the end of Insidious.
The Red Door's ending has Josh rescuing Dalton from the Further and seeing the ghost of Elise (Lin Shaye) to wrap the story. Furthermore, the door is sealed, shutting the Lipstick Face Demon away.
Who Did Jenna Ortega Play in Insidious 2? Ortega appeared at the end of Insidious 2 as a young kid named Annie. She was just 11, and many fans forgot she had a role in the flick. It occurred after Elise helped Josh in the Further against the evil spirit, Michelle, aka the Woman in White.
Elise is killed at the end of the first movie by the Bride in Black, who has successfully possessed Josh. She reappears in the second movie as a spirit in the Further, where she helps Josh get back to his physical body and stop Parker from killing his family.
Insidious: The Red Door Is Less Scary Than Other Insidious Movies. As the Insidious: The Red Door story follows teenage Dalton again being tormented by the spirits from The Further, the fifth movie has been criticized as a retread of the first movie, and it's hard to be scared by a worse version of a much scarier movie ...
Ultimately, the events of Insidious 2 are the reason why Josh and Renai got divorced. At the end of Insidious, it seems as though Josh has successfully rescued Dalton from The Further, however, in a shocking twist, he murders paranormal expert Elise.
The Red Door overperformed despite weak reviews, scoring the second-best domestic opening of the series behind 2013's Insidious: Chapter 2 ($40.3 million), not adjusted for inflation.
Is Josh alive at the end of Insidious: The Red Door?
Josh is able to travel beyond the Red Door and frees his son, but the red-faced demon isn't willing to let Dalton just walk away. In order for Dalton to safely escape the Further, Josh must use his body to block the Red Door, sacrificing himself for his son, not unlike what his own dad did.
As she packs up for the night, Josh hands her his childhood photos, but as she takes them, she gives Josh a strange and startled look, whips out her camera and snaps a photo of Josh. Furious, Josh goes in a rage and violently strangles Elise, killing her.
It's a common question, but the answer is no, The Conjuring and Insidious franchises are not linked to each other. The only 'link' is James Wan, who directed both the first two Conjuring movies and the Insidious movies. Fun fact: Patrick Wilson starred in both the first two Insidious movies and The Conjuring movies.
The ending of Insidious: The Red Door shows that by suppressing their bad memories, Josh and Dalton also lost their good memories, such as Josh risking his life to save Dalton in Insidious, or Dalton going into The Further to save Josh from the Black Bride in Insidious: Chapter 2, but by making peace with their "demons ...
However, the woman's spirit has now taken over Josh. Elise finds this out by taking a picture of Josh and being horrified when Josh hurts her. The final image of Insidious sees Josh appearing right behind his wife Renai, who appears terrified.
However, it shouldn't be surprising that Insidious is doing well as the franchise is known for being a huge box office draw. When the original Insidious scared its way onto the scene in 2011 it made $100.1 million worldwide which opened The Further to more frighteningly good sequels.
The Big Picture. Insidious is not based on a true story, so you don't have to worry about real-life hauntings like in The Conjuring series. The inspiration for Insidious came from Wan and Whannell's desire to make a horror film about astral projection.
Elise saves Josh and appears to destroy Michelle's spirit, which stops the possessed Josh from murdering his family in the real world. Carl and Josh escape and Dalton leads them back to the living world, allowing Josh to finally regain control of his body.
