News culture After Aquaman 2, the Saw and Conjuring director is finally returning to horror
Horror fans will be eagerly awaiting the release of Aquaman 2! After that, the Saw and Conjuring director will resume horror films.
The horror film director James Wan will return to the service after spending several years on other productions. In fact, the filmmaker initially tried his hand at big blockbusters Fast & Furious 7 in 2015, Aquaman in 2018 and soon Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the second work. We learned the news when he spoke in an interview Collider. He says this:
You know, I tend to go back and forth. Every time I make a small film, I want to make a big film. Every time I do a big movie I think, “Oh, I want to do a smaller movie,” and when I do a smaller movie, it’s usually a horror movie. So, you know, I feel like the desire for horror might be calling, but we’ll see.
As he suggests here at the end of the quote, nothing is certain for the return of one of the masters of horror. Although little known, his name is one of the most influential directors in the genre. It was he who launched the Saw saga by directing the first work. And if that wasn’t enough, James Wan is also behind the “Conjuring” and “Insidious” franchises. His track record is impressive with all licenses of current horror cinema. Although he was only a director on the first films, he remains producer and executive producer on most of the sequels. An influential character in the community.

Although his return is not assured, we already know that he is a producer of two upcoming horror films: Night swimming et Salem’s property. For this reason, We clearly sense the filmmaker’s desire to return to the footsteps of horror and smaller productions. The first film shows a family in a house with a dark past. A malevolent force will awaken and turn the local swimming pool into their worst nightmare. The second film is an adaptation of Stephen King’s novel of the same name. It’s about a writer who returns to his hometown of Jerusalem in search of inspiration, but finds a vampire who has taken over his childhood home. The two feature films are planned for 2024.
