Creator Context
Summary
Australian writer-director best known for co-creating the Saw franchise and directing Insidious films. He has expressed personal concerns about depicting guns as problem-solving tools in media due to real-world U.S. violence and family considerations, but his output remains commercial horror and thriller storytelling without activist or identity-driven patterns.
