In the ghost realm, a ghost’s value is determined by the fear they instill in the living. When ghost talent agent Makoto meets a rookie with weak scaring abilities, he convinces his client — forgotten superstar Catherine — to take her in as a disciple to challenge her former protégé.
John Hsu’s follow-up to horror blockbuster Detention is a raucous mash-up of Monsters Inc. and All About Eve. A hilarious satire of influencer culture and horror tropes, as well as a moving ode to underachievers, it won the Audience Award at Fantastic Fest and the People's Choice Award at Sitges Film Festival.
