Dead Talents Society

Ghosts must compete to survive in the afterlife in this delightful and hilarious paranormal rivalry romp from Taiwan.

Being dead isn’t easy. Spirits must prove themselves worthy of becoming ghosts through a rigorous selection process of auditions and contests, and avoid being condemned to eternal damnation. For a newly deceased young woman only known as ''The Rookie'' (Gingle Wang), she quickly learns that it’s a dog-eat-dog underworld and to avoid being condemned she must play the game. To survive, The Rookie falls in with a troupe of misfit haunters, led by a phantom diva determined to revitalize her own fading career. From Taiwanese director John Hsu (Detention, LIFF 2019), Dead Talents Society is a hilarious dark comedy and a heartwarming tale about friendship, family and encouragement.

“Dead Talents Society is a genuine crowd-pleaser: it’s fun, funny, extremely clever and filled with lovable characters. It’s an instant horror comedy classic…” – Joe Lipsett, Bloody Disgusting
