My Favourite Director - James Cameron

My Favorite Director



My favorite director is James Cameron because he is a well known director with many awards to go with great films. His style is action sci-fi and a lot of his films are set in the future. James Cameron's first film was The Terminator in 1984 which got a lot of success from and started this action sci-fi style he still has today. A lot of the awards he gets involve the special effects in his movies and one so one of the reasons I like him.

This is my favourite film because it is a horror involving paranormal beings and uses good techniques to create suspense and thrill. It also has a good story line that keeps you watching all the time. The director is James Wan who has also directed and produced the fammous Saw films. He is known for working with horror films. Stars of the film are Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne and Ty Simpkins.
