One of the most prominent names in horror, filmmaker James Wan is best known as the creator of the Saw, Insidious, and Conjuring franchises, which together have grossed over $2.5 billion worldwide. Thanks to the inventiveness of filmmakers like Wan, the horror category became one of the few genres in between $200 million+ tentpoles and indie films to survive–and thrive-in -the past decade. Recently, Wan has branched out to direct other blockbuster fare, including the seventh installment of The Fast and the Furious (the franchise’s most successfull entry both critically and commercially), and DC Films’ upcoming Aquaman.
