In fact, it’s more appropriate to make "Latent"

After watching this film, I read a lot of film reviews. There are two main factions about the time when the actor is possessed. One thinks that the actor was possessed when he was 8 years old, and the other thinks he was possessed by a hag while calling for his son. For this reason, I specially re-watched some of the clips in the movie, thinking that the male protagonist was the last to be possessed, which is in line with the title of "Insidious"!
Let's take a look at the original meaning of "Insidious": insidious; cunning; secretly injurious. So who is the insidious lurking guy in the film? Of course it's a hag! In fact, the whole film is to show that the hag has a great potential. She waited by the male pig's feet for decades and finally succeeded in possessing her.
Look at some of the details confirmed in the film: the male pig's feet finally entered his house in the ghost world and shouted at the hag in the mirror: What do you want from me! ? But how did the hag react? The hag smiled weirdly-gone! Why is she laughing? Why are you leaving? Because she waited for decades, and finally waited until the male pig's feet were out of the body again, and she had a chance to be possessed! (The previous photos show that the hag was quite close to the male pig's feet back then, but unfortunately it was discovered and stopped by the vigilant mother of the male pig's feet in time.) At this time, everyone pays attention to the movement of the camera, moving from the room on the side of the male pig's feet to another. On one side of the room where the soul is being called, the two rooms seem to be separated by a wall. The director wanted to say that when the male pig’s feet were still roaring in front of the mirror, the hag had already taken possession of him first. World.
One more thing, if a male pig's foot is really possessed at the age of 8, will the lingo not be aware of it? At the end of the film, when the hag was possessed, she was discovered by the lingua just a while later. It can be seen that this lingo is still quite powerful, and she will never fail to see that the soul of the male pig's feet was not the one who came back that year.
It can be seen that it is accurate to translate "Insidious" into "Latent", and Hong Kong and Taiwan's translation of the name is actually unreliable.
