Critical Response to Early Screenings of AQUAMAN Are Damn Good

We’ve been keeping our eyes on Aquaman since Day 1 for one primary reason: It’s being helmed by 21st Century Master of Horror James Wan, co-mastermind of the Saw and Insidious franchises, not to mention The Conjuring universe. While we’ve always had our doubts, nagging suspicions that the source material simply isn’t horror-adjacent enough to warrant Wan’s participation, response to early screenings have us heaving a huge sigh of relief.

Corin Hardy recently shot to prominence for helming The Nun, the most atmospheric and relentlessly sinister chapter in The Conjuring franchise to date. Here’s what he thought of Aquaman:

“Wonderment came over me throughout James Wan’s epic, phosphorescent #Aquaman. Ginormo-framed undersea worlds, mythical monsters & wide-eyed adventure-vision recalling #RayHarryhausen’s #ClashOfTheTitans, #FlashGordon & #IndianaJones.. Momoa röcks in his green-gilded söcks”

And Hardy isn’t the only one singing Aquaman’s praises:

These are just a few of the journalists heaping accolades on Aquaman. The film stars Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, and Dolph Lundgren; look for it to make a huge splash in theaters beginning December 21st.

Synopsis:
Aquaman finds himself caught between a surface world that ravages the sea and the underwater Atlanteans who are ready to revolt.
