They Wait in China

“They Wait” is considered a horror film, but it seems more like a psychological thriller. American Chinese Terry Chen is an ambitious worker whose uncle died in China. He decides to take his family there. Jaime King stars as the distraught American housewife who fears for her son’s safety after he falls into a coma.
A ghost appears to the boy and eventually to his mother. Apparently the ghost is trying to tell the family something and it takes almost two hours for them to figure out. They have until a certain time before the couple loses their son to the ghost.
I enjoyed this film. It is simple and not too horrific. It tells a story without being too graphic and I loved the part where people get what they deserve. Some of the best entertainment for me. In a world that involves a lot of injustice I love to see movies that show bad people get punished.
“They Wait” is simple but effective.
