Director James Wan is no stranger to the horror genre, having achieved his initial notoriety directing the original Saw film nearly a decade ago as well as Dead Silence and Insidious in subsequent years. With Saw as his calling card, Wan has frequently been grouped together with other directors who followed with films that were similarly brutally violent. While Wan has not exactly eschewed violence (he made Death Sentence, a faithfully brutal entry in the revenge genre), his subsequent horror films have been more about alternating suspense with make you jump scares than with make you vomit gore. His latest entry in the horror genre touches on elements of haunted house and demonic possession films, which sounds like an uncomfortable amount of Venn diagram overlap with Insidious, but its 70s setting and a dedication to the horror aesthetic of that era set it apart from his prior work.
