When it comes to horror that tingles us in the night and makes us wondering of the shadows lurking in the dark, none could forget of the many masterpiece that James Wan has developed over the years as we look into the 6 Eerie Movies By Director James Wan That Makes Us Afraid To Go Pee-Pee In The Night.
1. Dead Silence
Dolls. Creepy dolls. 101 creepy ass dolls to be exact. What else to say? Set in the town of Ravens Fair, where hid a terrifying secret of a female ventriloquist murdered and has her tongue cut out by town folks and has returned as a spirit to seek revenge by haunting and killing the families of those who had murdered her. With the help of her dear puppet doll Billy, she haunts and plays the mind of the victims she seeks to kill, leading them to scream and eventually cutting out their tongue.
2. The Conjuring
SourceWhen the trailer first came out, I was intrigued by the scene where the witch was hanged by the tree. Not much of a horror fanatic during my early days but as I watched the first scene as Annabelle was introduced, there I was in the theatre asking myself, what I have done to myself to watch this on the big screen. As the movie progress and ends, that was the time I decided to be a horror geek. James Wan is truly a genius when it comes to delivering spookiness and tensed scenes that makes The Conjuring such a remarkable haunting setting than other horror franchise.
3. Insidious
SourceJames Wan yet again took the stage of horrors to another level when he introduced a whole new universe of terror venturing to the other realm known as the Further. With Dalton lost in the realms of the dead, it is up to his dad to travel to the mystic world to save his son from giving up to the souls of the unknown. Aside from the usual jump scares, the movie did tremble us in cold feet with some scenes such as when Josh confronts The Smiling Family.
4. Insidious Chapter 2
SourceMost sequels do not come well after the success of the first movie but this chapter goes really well after Insidious. Continuing the journey into The Further, the sequel dives deeper into the background story of the The Bride in Black and blends well in the plot holes from the first movie as everything is explained magnificently with creative spooky scenes along the way with a plot twist nearing end.
5. Saw
SourceMaking the debut as a director in the film industry, James Wan was given a limited amount of funding and total of just 18 days to finish the shooting of the movie. The idea of filming two actors with a dead body in a bathroom has come to fruitful for the school graduates, Wan and Whannell as they struggled to keep the development and production on time and it was successful that it spawned to multiple sequels in the franchise with a new sequel set to be released this year.
6. The Conjuring 2
SourceWan once again explores the supernatural cases of Ed and Lorraine Warren, this time focuses more on their personal haunting while investigating a family in London after several demonic occurrences involving the family’s daughter. Some scenes are really well produced, such as the scene in which Ed talks with the old man’s spirit and where Lorraine faces a demonic nun in a wonderfully spine-chilling scene.
