James Wan and Leigh Whannell: Saw and Insidious co-creators are a Deadly Duo

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Even on their own, James Wan and Leigh Whannell are two of the biggest names in the horror genre these days, being behind such major hits as the Conjuring Universe (that's Wan's baby) and THE INVISIBLE MAN (written and directed by Whannell). But these two started their careers in the entertainment industry together, creating the SAW and INSIDIOUS franchises and collaborating on DEAD SILENCE. That's why this pair is the focus of the latest episode in our DEADLY DUOS video series!
