Antisocialites Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 I was just rewatching Insidious and I'm still so impressed by all the tension and terror he creates with such a simple and straightforward concept. The way he birthed Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring franchises just like that I mean... look at the material
RussianRoulette Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 idk I only watched one or two SAW movies with my friends when we were teenagers I'm not a fan of horror. I find it stupid

Khal Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 He only has 2 good movies, the first Saw and the first Conjuring, so I think not.
Mr.Link Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 The Conjuring is the best horror franchise of this millenium. Saw and Insidious are so overrated though, especially Saw. Gore is not scary, it’s gross.
kweenofxanax Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 I like some of Wan’s works though most of them have been a miss (or meh like his recent one with Malignant). Insidious and The Conjuring are both great and aged well. Saw is just not good, never clicked with it. Better ones for me are Jordan Peele, Mike Flanagan and Ari Aster. I also love Adam Wingard’s stuff. At the moment I have my eyes set on Brandon Cronenberg and excited to see more of his work soon. Possessor by far is probably my fave horror films in a loooong time. Whew, time for a rewatch methinks.
zaso Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 yes malignant, saw, insidious 1, dead silence are all excellent and actually sacry and he always comes up with something new for his horror films

SitarHero Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 Malignant skews his average movie quality pretty negatively, so NO
