Agree with everyone else on this page - good horror.It combines American values with Asian ghosts: a prosperous family has its world turned upside down as a dark secret crawls toward the light.The acting, music, camera work are solid, and there are some nice Asian touches, particularly when the ghost girl appears with her bells tinkling playfully. The pace is good too as the mystery is gradually revealed.I prefer more creep and menace, but it's not for that kind of audience and the final conflict goes back to American values in a Spielberg style righting of the wrongs.Produced by ... Uwe Boll.

I thought that They Wait was a very good horror film. Despite It is about a couple that returns to North America for a family funeral, having lived in Shanghai, China for the previous three years. Not long after they arrive, their son Jamie begins to see ghosts and suffers possession by one of the living dead, and it all ties in with the Chinese festival of Ghost Month, when the doors of hell supposedly open and angry spirits are given the chance to terrorise the living. This ended up being a very good film like most Asian horrors seem to be like. And i though that it had a good supernatural feel to it, which made it such a good film.

I found this film to be a delight to watch. I like my horror films but so many these days fail to give me a scare, However this one gave me quite a few jumps. The storyline was excellent and the film flowed nicely and was the perfect length approx 90 minutes. I also found the acting to be of a very high standard in this film, although I knew none of the actors in it. If you are going to watch this film then may i recommend it to be watched at a very late time. Get the popcorn out and the hoover because you are gonna be jumpy. I cannot understand why this film has an average of 4.4 (It seems some people are just far too critical) I am giving this a 10/10 so go watch it now you will not be disappointed

I've watched many Asian horror movies so I can easily predict where ghosts would appear. I can't say the same for the film. Unless you've watched the trailer. So if you really want to be shocked by suspenseful ghost's appearance, DON'T WATCH THE TRAILER. The plot of the story is pretty much given away by the trailer as well. Although, throughout the movie, you'll be given some clues and you'll be able to figure out what's the cause nearing the end. The music plays well the intense moments giving good build-up to anticipation. The mother and son's actings are great but not the father's but he doesn't play a big role so it doesn't affect the movie. The rest of the casting is great. A definitely good scream movie to watch at the cinema with friends!
