Overview
They Wait is a 2007 Canadian horror film directed by Ernie Barbarash and starring Jaime King. The story follows Jason and his wife Sarah as they leave their adopted home of Shanghai and travel to Vancouver, British Columbia, for an uncle's funeral, staying with Aunt Mei. Already disoriented, Jason and Sarah become unnerved when their young son Sam begins seeing ghosts and violent deaths. After Sam is hospitalized, Sarah consults with a pharmacist who is well-informed about Chinese mythology and tells her that supernatural forces threaten her son. The film depicts a mother attempting to find the truth and save her son when threatened by spirits during the Chinese tradition of Ghost Month. The cast also features Terry Chen, Pei-Pei Cheng, and Henry O, with the characters coming face to face with the mysteries of two murders and a great crime against the Chinese community.
