The franchise terrifies people and strengthens belief in love: Wilson
Wilson believes the reason for the success of the Warner Bros supernatural installment is that it can terrify people and make them believe in love at the same time. Farmiga, 48, said these stories can strengthen one's belief in love and higher power. Farmiga said the popularity of these movies has made it almost impossible for her and Wilson to collaborate on anything else.
