The top 8 most popular films by acclaimed director James Wan

Bright, daring, scary and dynamic. The films of this talented director are very different, but they always attract the attention of the public. We would like to talk about the best works of the Australian director. 

Dead silence

Year 2007. The director tried to achieve the success of "Saw", but the format of the work turned out to be somewhat different. But here they remembered about a sinister doll, which turns out to be a vicious killer, a Gothic-style castle, and curses of the family. The plot centres on a young man who is determined to punish those responsible for the death of his beloved wife. Noir? Not exactly. Something in common with the detective genre, there are even elements of thriller. It seems that the whole film is excerpts of different directions, which are diluted with music creating atmosphere. It is true that the author's characteristic handwriting can be traced in this work with a great strain.

Astral

Three years later, the director decided to present a new work to the world. And this time the low-budget film collects almost the same amount of money at the box office as the famous "Saw". The main character (Patrick Wilson managed to cope well with the role) transports his family to a new home. And here at once at night strange things happen. The movement of objects, voices and the final point in the form of the son's coma. It turns out that the child is able to get into the otherworld, but only the helpers can get him out of there. Scary? Yes, the ordinary landscapes where millions of Americans live are not at all domestic and peaceful.

Aquaman

The star-studded cast and 2018. Wang's work stands out dramatically from the dystopian DC Planet Pictures. Light, with funny dialogues, rich colours. Plus, the choice of performers of the main roles. Underworld Features allow the director to utilise the full potential of special effectsand even make the audience think about the importance of family values. Who would have thought that a classic comic book story could be conveyed so vividly, without forgetting human emotions and making the audience laugh heartily after a tense scene. Notes of naivety and primitive? But it is precisely this approach that allowed a huge audience to be riveted to watching the film.

Fast and Furious 7

It seems that since working on the director's seventh instalment, the outlines of the all-too-familiar franchise have fundamentally changed. Plus, Van managed to keep the main idea that you can get the coolest car, opportunities, but without family values, all these benefits are nothing.

The appearance of Statham as a counterweight to the protagonist and his loved ones is rather a plus. But rather absurd scenes that violate all conceivable and not the laws of gravity are not all taken warmly. What is only worth Dom's leap from one high-rise to another. Along with the familiar world of cool cars, genre lovers got a Bollywood-inspired sci-fi.

Jigsaw: A Game of Survival

Almost two decades two still young Australians decided to film a story about a survival game. Risking their lives every second, the heroes have to find the key and step by step try to find a way out. Who would have thought that filming work in a cramped warehouse, you can charm and conquer the audience. Even a modest budget turns out not to be a hindrance, if you get the style right, get the idea right, and get the audience to hold their breath.. It was probably after the release of this film that it was safe to say that the genre had a new classicist. While Van was seen as a creator of horror films, he hatched a plan, and managed to prove to the public that he was capable of more.

Evil

The metre's most recent work in his favourite genre. Will this story be the start of a new franchise? Unlikely, but it's certainly original and not another sequel.
A girl, who was visited by an evil creature every night.everyone refused to believe. So she has to fight every day. The plot is banal, but the director's work and the quality of each frame allow even controversial material to turn into a worthy picture.

Death sentence

This is not a thriller, a horror, but a rather intense and violent action film. The hero is almost a classic vigilante who is ready to punish all of his daughter's abusers. Kevin Bacon's work is another highlight of the picture. He is the most ordinary and even perfect family man. Takes a decent position, adores his family. Everything changed one day when a criminal gang kills his son.

It seems that the plot can be calculated almost to the very end, but even connoisseurs of the genre will be amazed. It's not even the plot itself, but the way the director presents it. On a very modest budget.The director turns the most hackneyed ideas into a sophisticated show, and this is almost a characteristic of Wang's writing for which he is appreciated and loved.

Spell

Probably, this film of 2013 can be considered almost a business card of the metre. Who would have thought that the story about a family of exorcists would be desired by so many viewers around the world. It seems that it was from this work that the endless offshoots and musings on the subject of monsters and monstrosities were pulled. Only no matter how many times the directors did not try to copy and use the signature style of the metre, the result they were not destined to achieve. The first part can surprise the audience with a banal plot. The family decided to help the Perrons, who just bought a house, and one of the relatives is possessed by a demon. Warren has to urgently go to the rescue. While the demon brings the new owners of the house, exorcists will have to understand what the spirit is avenging, and exorcise him. It's as old as the world, and it's a story that Van turns into a true miracle.

In part, you can trace almost classic techniques from horror films. Even the retro style music works in this direction. Just the stylistics, the staging, the construction of scenes. Also the wisdom, the lesson, that you can escape from any nightmareif you value family values, love, help and faith.
