The latest film will take place 10 years after the events of Insidious: Chapter 2, with Dalton going off to college. Along with directing, Wilson will be reprising his role as Dalton's dad Josh Lambert, saying in a statement, "I'm honoured and thrilled to be at the helm of the next Insidious instalment, which will provide an amazing chance to unpack everything the Lamberts went through a decade ago, as well as deal with the consequences of their choices.

"Directing the movie is both professionally and personally a full circle moment for me, and I am extremely grateful to be entrusted in continuing to tell this frightening and haunting story. Into the further we go."

Scott Teems has written the screenplay from a story by franchise co-creator Leigh Whannell.
