Posted 19 years ago

Sometimes I really dig this job, especially when I get to meet somebody like a James Wan,
director of the original SAW. Mr. Wan is one of the most interesting horror directors as of late. He helped make SAW one of the most successful horror franchises and he also took on a creepy puppet in DEAD SILENCE. But

DEATH
SENTENCE looks to be his most mature work yet. He has a love for movies of this ilk and wanted to create one of those movies that were so influential in the Seventies including the DIRTY HARRY series. He has a knack for creating tension and his latest looks to be no exception. I really enjoyed taking a few moments to talk one on one with him. He is incredibly friendly and just a damn cool guy.
