DEAD TALENTS SOCIETY
鬼才之道
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.
In the spirit of BEETLEJUICE, set in a community of East Asian frighteners, DEAD TALENTS SOCIETY is a hilarious new dark comedy from director John Hsu (Taiwan horror sensation DETENTION). And amid the jump scares and horror trope satire, is a heartwarming tale about friendship, family and encouragement.
