James Wan PART ONE (Saw & Insidious) Podcast

Archaeon

The first pure horror podcast in a while for Directors Uncut. Join KatLiz, and Cliff as we talk about one of the most successful horror directors of all time, especially if you are looking at box offices.

The first movie we covered was Wan’s breakout and ground zero for a long-running franchise about to have its 10th entry later in the year, SAW. A movie which has an unjustifiable harsh reception, mainly from people who haven’t seen it. The first entry is the focus but we also dip a toe into the series as a whole. After that, we looked at 2010’s haunted house, home invasion, and possession movie – Insidious. It’s a lot of things.

We also talk about horror elitism, influential moments as young horror fans, escape rooms, and much, much more. It’s a packed show. If you enjoyed this episode, check out our Patreon. We have Doctor Who reviews, Pop Screen bonus episodes, and unseen Asia reviews – this month is dedicated to Japanese films that haven’t seen release in the UK. We also have our second edition of (what did you watch) Last Night, director uncut’s sister podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast, give it a rating and review it on apple podcasts or Spotify. Go on, it’d mean the world to us. If you can’t afford Patreon, which (in this economy) is fair – a rating wherever you’re listening to this is the next best way to support Directors Uncut. We’ll see you next time with Dead Silence & Malignant.

As gentle music plays across the opening moments (of the Virgin Suicides), a sunny day captures families playing outside within a sleepy suburb. This picture-perfect glimpse at the neighbourhood is contrasted with an indoor scene, as Cecilia Lisbon (Hanna R. Hall) – the youngest of five sisters – attempts suicide. […]
