One of film's masters of horror has set his sights on adapting one of 2024's spookiest survival games into a television series. James Wan, director of modern horror classics such as the original Saw film, Insidious, and The Conjuring wants to turn driving-survival game Pacific Drive into a TV show.
That's one hell of a team-up. Pacific Drive was my favorite survival game of this year, challenging you to make your way through a deadly anomalous exclusion zone in Washington State with only the help of a clunky old station wagon. It's hectic and scary and oozing with atmosphere, which feels like it's right in Wan's horror wheelhouse. Wan has also directed mainstream action blockbusters like Furious 7, so he's got plenty of car experience, and the Aquaman films, so he's got… I don't know, water experience? Let's go with that. It rains a lot in the Pacific Northwest.
