Over time, James Wan has proven himself as the master of modern horror. He had his directorial debut with Saw (2004) which gained a cult following.

He later went on to direct Insidious (2010) and The Conjuring (2013) which also became successful film franchises. These three film series have revolutionised modern horror. More recently, Wan has directed the upcoming Aquaman film.

Wan listed some of his favourite horror films in an interview with Loaded Online. They are Jaws (1975), The Exorcist (1973), Poltergeist (1982) and even The Terminator (1984). He has also mentioned Lost Highway (1997) and Ringu (1998), and says he finds inspiration in lots of movies, including those outside of the horror genre.
