I like to think we're not the only thing that exists on the plane of existence. I like to think that just because we don't see it doesn't mean it's not there. James Wan existexistenceplane Change image and share on social

I try to pull my inspirations from everyday life. If I came across a situation that is like, 'Oh, that's going to be scary, that's going to be frightening,' that's when I get inspired, and I put that into my films. James Wan everydayfilmfrighten share on social
I feel like, with most filmmakers of my generation, I like the over-the-top stuff. I like to be wacky and really in your face. James Wan facefeelfilmmaker Change image and share on social

Supernatural movies generally have a much more brooding pace. If you look at films like 'The Sixth Sense' or 'The Others,' it's more building up the characters and building up the situation as opposed to just opening with a big action set piece. James Wan actionbigbrood share on social
I guess I have a fascination with the idea of puppeteering. I think, in a lot of ways, directing is puppeteering. I guess I see a lot of analogies between what puppeteers and filmmakers do. James Wan analogydirectfascination Change image and share on social
I love the idea of being the underdog, coming in with a take on this underdog character and completely blow people's expectations away. Like, 'Oh, you thought he was going to be a wimpy character? No no no.' James Wan blowcharactercome share on social
