For me, what usually makes a horror sequence scary is the journey not the destination.
Quote by -James Wan
Isn't it crazy to think that we've explored space more than we have explored the depths of our ocean? That just fires up my imagination about potential sea monsters and cool creatures, that kind of stuff.
Quote by -James Wan
'The Exorcist' is one of the finest movies ever made, and it just so happens to be a scary movie.
Quote by -James Wan
If I have free time, I want to go to the beach, walk around a shopping mall, go grocery shopping. Live a little bit of life.
Quote by -James Wan
'Poltergeist' was really the film that really scarred but fascinated me with puppets and dolls, clowns, and stuff like that. I've always been afraid of clowns, and then my fear of puppets came around, and 'Poltergeist' was the perfect combination to scare me with a clown doll.
Quote by -James Wan
If you care about the characters, then whatever scary thing happens to them, you feel it even more.
Quote by -James Wan
The size of the budget doesn't make that much of a difference because the kind of issues I have on a low budget film I I have on a big budget film as well, but they're just much bigger.
Quote by -James Wan
Having such a diverse cast and crew is what makes the 'Fast & Furious' films so unique to all the other studio tent pole films that just have a very singular look to them.
Quote by -James Wan
I'm such an action movie junkie that as an action fan, because action scenes are so heightened, we could never really picture ourselves in that scene. So when you're watching an action movie, you experience an action movie more outside of the aquarium: you know you're out of the aquarium looking in at all the swimming fish that are in there.
Quote by -James Wan
'Poltergeist' was the film that scarred me for life. I saw it at such a young age - 5 or 6 years old - and it has one of the creepiest doll sequences with the clown, and ever since then, I've just been fascinated by dolls.
Quote by -James Wan
'Insidious 2' is a direct continuation of the first movie. We literally pick up from where we left off at the end of the first film. And whereas the first movie is a twist on the haunted house genre, the second movie is a twist on the classic domestic thriller.
Quote by -James Wan
I like to think if something scares me, then there's a very good chance an audience will feel the same way. The key is creating scenarios that people can relate to.
Quote by -James Wan
I think, like most people, we are familiar with Aquaman. We grew up reading or watching this character on the peripheral. I was never so in depth with Aquaman as, let's say, I was with X-Men.
Quote by -James Wan
A lot of these types of films - the vigilante or revenge drama - were so popular in the '70s because there was a feeling in the culture of loss of control.
Quote by -James Wan
Not many people remember this, but in the first 'Death Wish' film, Charles Bronson doesn't actually go after the people that hurt his family: he just goes after every punk. He just blows them all away.
Quote by -James Wan
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.
Quote by -James Wan
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.
Quote by -James Wan
Still one of my favorite movies is the original 'The Haunting.' I love that style.
Quote by -James Wan
I think, ultimately, if you create characters that people like and can relate to, your characters are grounded on a human level even if your cars are not.
Quote by -James Wan
If you come down to it, there's only a handful of worlds that action films live in. You have your car chases, your gun fights, and your fights.
Quote by -James Wan
We all agreed that violence begets violence, and you can't solve issues with more violence.
Quote by -James Wan
I think Mel Gibson could make 'Passion of the Christ' because he really believed in it and gave it his all.
Quote by -James Wan
Just because I make movies in the scary world doesn't mean I want to visit scary worlds.
Quote by -James Wan
I think, when you're a director, you get sucked into your project whether you like it or not, right?
Quote by -James Wan
It's good to be finally able to afford food for a change. It's good to move on from potatoes and tin soup.
Quote by -James Wan
I cannot state enough how important post-production is for the success of a horror movie. You bring so much to it with the way you edit it, the way it is sound-designed, and the way the music works with it.
Quote by -James Wan
I think you cannot be too complacent. I think that's dangerous, and you cannot take anything for granted.
Quote by -James Wan
People are so used to seeing John Goodman as a lovable dad or the quirky characters he played in the Coen Brothers films.
Quote by -James Wan
I've always loved action movies. The first films I fell in love with were 'Star Wars' and Steven Spielberg films.
Quote by -James Wan
'Poltergeist' was really the film that really scarred, but fascinated, me with puppets and dolls, clowns and stuff like that.
Quote by -James Wan
I love a ghost story. I think they affect me more than other people that are much more skeptical than I am. I think that it's good that I do buy into them to some degree.
Quote by -James Wan
I love Carpenter, I love Craven - these are all the classics - the Romeros of the world, but I think the biggest influence on me as a storyteller and as a filmmaker is actually Steven Spielberg. I love that even though Steven isn't known for being a horror director, he started out his career making scary movies.
Quote by -James Wan
I hope people will like 'The Conjuring 2' because I think it is a very natural and organic progression of the first movie.
Quote by -James Wan
The size of the budget doesn't make that much of a difference because the kind of issues I have on a low budget film I have on a big budget film as well, but they're just much bigger.
Quote by -James Wan
That's the problem: when you make movies, I find that I never have time to go to the movies and enjoy movies like I used to because I'm so movied out, right? I'm so filmed out that the last thing that I wanna do is, with the little spare time that I have, is stick in a dark room and watch more stuff on the screen.
Quote by -James Wan
If I have to point to something specific with the way I move my camera, I love to do it with a wide lens. I like to show you as much of the space as I can, even if I'm following a character.
Quote by -James Wan
I use myself as a measuring yardstick, and so if I come up with an idea that really scares me, then I'd like to think that people out there would feel the same way as well.
Quote by -James Wan
People used to always complain that horror films have no stories, that it's all just about kills and stuff like that.
Quote by -James Wan
When I was a kid, my grandfather used to watch Bollywood films. There's a lot of colour and vibrancy to the Indian films.
Quote by -James Wan
I don't think action alone is enough to sustain a film franchise. There are tons of action movies out there that come and go and people don't care about.
Quote by -James Wan
I'm terrified of the supernatural things, which is why I'm very grateful that I don't see things like that. Because if I did see things of the paranormal persuasion, I don't think I'd be able to continue making scary movies.
Quote by -James Wan
I guess, deep down, there's a dark side to us. I guess that's why movie fans really love the revenge drama. We like to go into dark movie theaters and fantasize.
