"Latent" is a thriller suspense film directed by Wen Ziren and starring Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Ty Simpkins, Lynn Sayer and others.
Synopsis
Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Rayleigh (Rose Byrne) have three children, the eldest of whom is a ten-year-old boy, Dalton (Ty Simpskins), who happily prepares to move into their new home, only to experience some strange noises and even mysterious ghosts. Soon after, Dalton was accidentally injured in the "Exploring" Loft and entered the hospital the next day unconscious. After 3 months, he was still in a coma, and the doctors couldn't figure it out. Later, Dalton returned home from the hospital to recuperate. However, in this mysterious place, more horrific events occur one after another. Rayleigh suspects that the house is haunted and determined to move, and the situation has not improved after moving again. Later, with the help of some exorcists, they understand that it is not the house that is haunted but their children who may be entangled in a strange spirit from the dark world. For their children, the parents and scientists dueled with the spirits.
The biggest attraction of the first film is the eerie, eerie ghost world, the plot of Josh leaving the soul to save Dalton makes people still shiver, and the ghosts in the ghost world with various makeups attract the audience to have to watch. At the end of the film, Dalton is successfully rescued, but Josh is possessed by the evil spirit and kills the exorcist Elise...
Lurking 2 is a thriller suspense film directed by James Win and starring Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Ty Simpkins, Barbara Hirsch, and others.
After an incredible twist on the previous episode, Dalton, the eldest son of the Lemport family, temporarily escapes from the haunting of evil spirits, while the psychic medium Elise dies tragically, and Dalton's father, Josh, is suspected of murder. As the police need to continue investigating their house, Josh has to temporarily return to his mother,Laurelian's home with his wife, Laney, and three children. I thought everything was back to normal, but Laney and the children still seemed to be haunted by evil spirits.
Laurian realizes the gravity of the situation and brings in Karl, a psychic medium second only to Elise, to try to get everything back to normal, but things go in an unpredictable direction.
Lurking 2 is one of the few sequels in film history that is more exciting than the previous one, which follows Dalton's departure from his soul to save his father. Unlike the previous game, the biggest attraction of this film is not only the ghost world of the spirit, but also the plot. Through the interlacing of time and space, the combination of reality and illusion, and many details of the previous game, the plot echoes and makes you breathtaking!
For example, the sudden knocking on the door, the sirens and the breaking of the door in the middle of the night in the previous work are not actually the work of evil spirits at all, but the soul of Josh in another world, in order to save his young daughter.
For example, the piano sound that often comes from home is not the work of evil spirits, but the actions of Josh in the other world in order to attract the attention of his wife Relais, so as to remind her that Josh in reality is an evil ghost.
The success of "Latent" made the main actors Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne and Lin Shaye known. Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne became the male and female protagonists of Wen Ziren, and Lin Shaye became the classic psychic medium in the hearts of the audience.
Lurking 3 is the third film in the Latent series, a thriller directed by the writers of the first two films, Ray Werner, and co-starring Lin Shaye, De Mont Moroni, and Stephanie Scott.
It tells a prequel story of a few years before the Haunted Affair of Lambert, the beautiful flower girl Quinn Brenner (Stephanie Scott Stefanie Scott) finds the retired psychic medium Elise (Lin Shaye). Quinn's mother died a year and a half ago, but she always felt that her mother was around, and she longed to say a few more words to her mother. Touched by Quinn's sincere feelings, Elise decides to help her, but who knows, she seems to have established contact with some terrible being, and Elise warns the girl that she must never try to communicate with her dead mother again. After this, Quinn, who loves acting, returns to her original life, who knows that a strange incident has caused her to suffer a serious car accident. After being discharged from the hospital, the strange things surrounding Quinn intensified.
And Elise, who thought she had no contact, seemed to be aware of the danger Quinn was in, and she made a difficult decision to rescue the girl who could be killed at any time.
Lurking 4: The Dead is a suspense thriller directed by Adam Robbett and starring Lynn Sayer, Caitlin Gerrard, Bruce Davidson, Spencer Locke, Kirk Esvodo, Tessa Ferrer, and the film was released in North America on January 5, 2018.
One day, trouble comes when Elise Rainier (Lynn Sayer) receives a call from Ted Garza (Kirk Espodor) asking for help. Although Elise Rainier initially refused, she agreed and revealed to Sbex (Ray Werner) and Tucker (Angus Sampson) why the call was made to her in the first place, as Ted Garza lived in an old house in a small town in New Mexico and lived with her family with Mr. Ted Garza before Elise Rainier grew up in the 1950s. Elise Rainier, Sbex, and Tucker set out for New Mexico, hoping to help Ted Garza and finally confront her long-hidden personal demon.
When it comes to Wen Ziren, I believe everyone is very familiar with him, he was a man who would bring a little coolness to the audience every summer.
In 2004, Wen Ziren and his good friend Ray Werner worked on the horror thriller Chainsaw Horror, which was a huge success after the film was released, and the two received attention.
Wen Ziren and Ray Werner then continued to serve as producers of the series, making six sequels in one go, and "Chainsaw Horror" became a classic series in the history of horror films, and is still talked about by horror fans today.
Ray Werner and Wen Ziren are regarded by many fans as a "golden couple".
He was originally a Tv presenter in Melbourne, and it can be said that he had the same disease as Wen Ziren, who was also in a career trough at that time.

Ray Werner, then 29, had always suspected he had a brain tumor, and in order to get rid of the headache, the two worked together to write the script for "Chainsaw Horror".
So john Kramer, the "vertical saw" in Chainsaw Horror, was actually created by Ray Werner based on himself.
The "Latent" series is the second time the two have joined forces since "Chainsaw Horror" and "Dead Silence".
Subsequently, Wen Ziren directed series of movies such as "Latent" and "Conjuring", and was named "Horror Master".
In 2015, Wen Ziren directed "Fast and Furious 7", which won a global score of 1.5 billion US dollars; in 2018, he also directed "Aquaman" with great success, and Wen Ziren became famous.
As we all know, Wen Ziren is a successful example from the field of horror films to the big screen. Today, he is fully favored, but his film path is almost over at that time.
After the "Chainsaw Horror" series became a hit, Wen Ziren did not rest on his laurels and continue to serve as the director of the sequel, but directed other films.
It can be said that "Latent" is Wen Ziren's turnaround work, "Latent" has achieved a double harvest of box office and word of mouth, and then he took advantage of the hot iron to shoot "Latent 2" and "Conjuring" two movies, which laid his position in the field of horror films in one fell swoop.
The Latent series is another classic horror series pioneered by Wen Ziren and Ray Werner after Chainsaw Horror. The series blends Chinese and Western horror elements to create a strange and novel psychic world for the audience.
After the success of the first two films, the series continued to make "Latent 3" and "Latent 4", which are not directed by Wen Ziren, but the style is the same as the first two, mainly about the life of the exorcist Elise.
The fifth part of Wen Ziren's horror film series "Latent" is already in development, and producer Brunn House Blumhouse today announced that Patrick Wilson, the star of the series and has worked with Wen Ziren many times, will direct it himself! Wen Ziren and Ray Werner continued to serve as producers, and Scott Temus ("Narcos", "Zhao Xue") wrote the screenplay.
This will also be Patrick's directorial debut, and he will continue to play the role of Josh Lambert, and Ty Simpkins will return after a gap of 7 years to continue playing Lambert and son. The fifth installment of Latent will continue to tell the story of the Lambert family, 10 years after the previous one, when Lambert's son, Dalton Lambert (Ty Simpkins returns), has grown up and is about to go to college.
After the news that the horror film "Latent" will be filmed for the fifth part and Patrick Wilson will return to star and will be the director of the feature film for the first time, producer Wen Ziren also sent INS congratulations to Wilson, saying that the other party is both a talented actor and a storyteller at heart, looking forward to seeing what he brings to "Lurking 5", and sharing Wilson's "evil Josh" behind-the-scenes photos, "Let's get a glimpse of his way of directing".
