The Profile

Malaysian-born Australian film director, screenwriter, and producer. Co-created Saw (2004) with Leigh Whannell and directed Insidious (2010) and The Conjuring (2013). Co-founder of Atomic Monster.

Co-created the Saw franchise with Leigh Whannell; launched The Conjuring Universe; directed major studio films including Furious 7 (2015) and Aquaman (2018).

Reviews here see Wan as revitalizing familiar horror tropes with tension, low-budget ingenuity, and sharp twists. Saw is praised as a defining, tightly written thriller-horror hybrid. Insidious earns credit for effective jump scares and a personal spin on the afterlife. The Conjuring is read as a deeper, body-centered haunting tale with exorcism framed through intimacy.
