"The Further is a world far beyond our own, yet it's all around us. A place without time as we know it. It's a dark realm filled with the tortured souls of the dead.

In this episode of the Modern Horror Podcast, your hosts A. J. Black and Hugh McStay dig into the series, focusing heavily on the first film and the travails of the haunted Lambert family, exploring the place of Insidious in modern horror and its ongoing legacy...
