Import and distribution company Sony Pictures announced on the 6th, “We have confirmed that the film ‘Insidious: They Have Come’ (Insidious 6) will open in South Korea on the 20th.”
'Insidious 6' depicts the brutal horror that unfolds as malevolent entities from "The Further," the realm of the dead, search for a passageway into the human world.
The main trailer, released on the 6th, builds tension by opening with a scene where “Gemma” (Amelia Eve), who has awakened from “The Beyond”—the realm of the dead—after receiving a mysterious phone call, encounters the medium “Ellis” (Lynn Shaye).
Following “You possess a power once thought impossible,” a cryptic remark from “Ellis,” comes the shocking warning: “You can bring evil spirits from ‘The Further’ into the human world. Forever.” This reveals that “Gemma’s” unknown ability could shatter the boundary between “The Further” and the real world.

As “Gemma” desperately struggles to prevent the evil spirits from invading, an eerie, unidentified voice is heard. Accompanied by the intense tagline, “The true form of terror that has finally crossed over into reality,” the appearance of past evil spirits and their ruthless attacks heighten the suspense, creating an immersive experience where the audience cannot let their guard down for even a moment.
In particular, the line, “If the dead come back to life, it will spell the end for the living,” hints at the massive chaos that will be unleashed by “Gemma’s” new ability—which can open the boundary between reality and “a place far beyond”—and heightens anticipation for the extreme horror set to unfold this summer.
The five demon posters released alongside the trailer instantly capture the viewer’s attention by showcasing the unique horror visuals of the series’ iconic demons. From “Lipstick Face”—which has imprinted indelible terror on audiences since the series’ inception—to the grotesque “Black Bride,” the “Stone Girl” with her spine-chilling smile, and “Key Face,” who delivered some of the series’ most terrifying moments, each character exudes a powerful presence.
In particular, “Cyrus,” who makes his debut in this installment, evokes an unforgettable, eerie atmosphere with his bizarre, blindfolded appearance alone, sparking curiosity about the threat he poses to the protagonist, “Gemma.” The film foreshadows that these entities will no longer remain “far away” but will descend en masse into the human world, transforming everyday life into a stage of horror, setting the stage for the most powerful and inescapable horror in the series’ history.
*Insidious: Chapter 6* is a collaboration between the production team behind the “New-Type Horror” hit *The Backroom*, horror master James Wan, and Blumhouse.
