Exclusive: Director Rob Savage explains why he rewatched James Wan's The Conjuring movies for inspiration while working on his movie The Boogeyman.
Summary Director Rob Savage reveals the influence that James Wan's The Conjuring movies had on The Boogeyman and how he designed the scare scenes. James Wan has become one of the most impactful voices in modern horror, launching multiple franchises and consistently creating original movies in the horror genre.
In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant for The Boogeyman Savage reveals how Wan influenced him. He explains why The Conjuring movies are "foundational movies" for him. Savage also praises Wan's ability to create terrifying scares and the set pieces that help craft them. Check out the full quote below:
Rob Savage: I think a lot of the movies that I was looking at for the scare scenes were James Wan movies. I mean, his first two Conjuring movies are like foundational movies for me. I always go back and watch them. I think the way that he stages a set piece is like nobody else working today. James Wan's Impact On The Boogeyman & Horror Genre Wan has had an immeasurable effect on the horror genre, not only through the movies he has been directly involved in but also by inspiring other directors. Wan has had a hand in multiple horror subgenres, from Saw to M3GAN. Savage looking to The Conjuring for inspiration in how to craft the scare scenes as well as the set pieces makes sense with how he focuses on how the monster impacts the lives of this family.
It seems that Savage may have also been inspired by Wan in how he approached the potential expansion of The Boogeyman. He has teased an extensive Boogeyman lore bible and plans for a sequel. While he may have looked at The Conjuring as inspiration for the scare scenes, there could be a deeper connection down the line.
