The modern horror universe would be nothing without James Wan. The Malaysian-born Australian director is the man behind a little film known as Saw. Remember Saw? It's the reason you can never look at jigsaw puzzles the same way again. Saw was just the beginning for Wan. Since the film's 2004 release, the filmmaker has directed Dead Silence (2007), Insidious (2010), and The Conjuring (2013). In addition to horror, Wan also directed Furious 7 and Aquaman, so the guy clearly has no limits when it comes to filmography.
