“No one pretty much tells me what kind of horror films to make.” — James Wan Quote

“No one pretty much tells me what kind of horror films to make.”

“I love high concept movies, but they can only work if the source of inspiration is really human - if they're driven by pain and strong emotions. Once you connect the audience with that, then I swear you can take them on the craziest journey, and they'll come along.”

“I use myself as the barometer to gauge what is scary. I like to think if something scares me, then there's a very good chance an audience will feel the same way.”

“I have to tell you this - as a teenager, I never used to see any horror films till I started acting in films.”

“Everybody's making horror films and, to me, not especially well.”

“Ask anyone, and they'll tell you that most of the good horror films made in the U.S. are indie films. You might get 'The Ring' or 'The Others,' but most are independently produced.”
