James Wan (nato il 26 febbraio 1977) è un regista, sceneggiatore e produttore australiano di origine malese, considerato uno dei più importanti innovatori del cinema horror del XXI secolo. Ha raggiunto il successo internazionale con Saw - L'enigmista (2004), film che ha dato vita a una delle saghe horror più redditizie della storia. Il suo stile, caratterizzato da una suspense crescente, atmosfere inquietanti e un uso raffinato della tensione, ha contribuito a ridefinire il genere. Nel 2010 ha creato Insidious, trasformandolo in una delle saghe horror soprannaturali più amate dal pubblico grazie alla sua capacità di costruire paura attraverso l'atmosfera, il mistero e un'efficace regia. Poco dopo ha diretto The Conjuring - L'evocazione (2013), ispirato ai casi dei coniugi Warren, dando origine a un universo cinematografico di enorme successo che comprende numerosi film e spin-off, tra cui quelli dedicati ad Annabelle e The Nun. Oltre all'horror ha dimostrato grande versatilità dirigendo blockbuster come Fast & Furious 7 (2015) e Aquaman (2018). Grazie alla sua visione creativa e alla capacità di coniugare spettacolo e tensione psicologica, James Wan è oggi considerato uno dei registi che hanno maggiormente influenzato il cinema horror moderno.
