James Wan is the proudest for Malaysian managed to produce good quality and memorable entertaining movies.

I really like first SAW and Insidious.

Why everyone feel proud of just a mere malaysia born? If he grew up here and received education here then yes go ahead be proud. He is not even Malaysian anymore.

James Wan is just born in Malaysia BUT he received is education in Australia! If he stayed in Malaysia he wouldn't fulfill his potential.

Exactly man..

I was really surprised to found out he was the main mastermind for SAW when it was released many years ago. I think he moved to study in Aussie Film Institute during his early 20s.

Not really born and raised up in Aussie since baby.

From the way he communicate, it's already an Australian to me. Not like Ang Lee can still feel the english command belongs to 'asian' standard.

Yeah. He always seem to say that he's born in Malaysia but never really say he's Malaysian.
I don't think many people (ok maybe the older generation) will be that proud if they found out a Malaysian is the mastermind of movies like SAW.
Only when he was given the directors seat to Fast and Furious 7 did everyone started to go "Hey look a Malaysian is directing one of the biggest franchise of our time!".

"Wan was born in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, to Chinese parents, and was raised in Perth, Western Australia, from a young age. Wan was 11 years of age when he first dreamed of making films and his tertiary studies were undertaken at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), where he completed his Bachelor of Arts degree.[1]"

Raised in perth and from a young age. I dont think is 20s bro.

Thanks man..

Hopefully James Wan can inspired more local filmmakers never stop chasing our dream...


It's not about where we are from. It's bout what we exactly want to be.

I thought the film is slightly overrated but don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the film. It's just that it's very cliched and nothing genuinely fresh about it. Good horror flick, but forgettable nonetheless.

actually if most of the local directors and producers have the budget that James Wan and his team had, the products will definitely better than we had right now. Wan is lucky to be at the right place and the right time.

"wanna play hide and clap?"

"clapclap"

The is the result of the gment denying awesome students scholarships . In the end, all the talented msians go abroad .

10 years later, when they r sucessful, then say he is malaysian born and what not when in reality majority of his lifetime he spent overseas!

I've noticed that TGV, MBO that have many showtimes for this movie

I checked GSC , just a few cinemas that show this movie.

i saw the trailer. Is it a sequel to Insidious? The same red faced demon? hrmmm

It has heart and script is good. The part about them at the beach and how it was used to defeat the witch. Plus the acting by Vera is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

James Wan's budgets are notoriously low! Even Tanda Putera has a higher budget than Insidious...

Going to watch it tomorrow

Conjuring vs Sinister which one better?

why hide and clap,

Conjuring much better then sinister... Was the whole movie based on true stuff or just some parts??? Bcs the part where the daughter was attack from the girl on the closet, that was crazy scary. Did that really happened???

Vera acting is amazing overall is a normal movie but I don't get the hype of it o_O

Lorraine is hawt

one question
