Director Biography - Wenhao Wang

After participating in producing many short narrative films, I
want to try another genre: Horror Film. I have a
unique understanding of horror influenced by Japanese
horror. Among the many types of horror movies, I prefer
psychological horror movies. Because psychological horror
films always make more impressions. They disclose social
issues. They reveal people's deepest fears. I also believe when
the "monster" is shown on the screen, it is no longer scary.
The Iranian psychological horror film Under the
Shadows inspired me. I want to achieve the perfect
combination of dreams and reality.

During the story and development phase, we designed it to
be a series of strange things happening in the house at
midnight. My cinematographer and I have outstanding visual
imagination abilities. Therefore, we will guarantee the
performance while achieving an excellent visual experience.
