 “A gorgeous-looking film that really breathes life into the underworld”
– Tori Potenza / Filmhounds Magazine

“Wildly imaginative”
– James Marsh / South China Morning Post

“One of the best horror comedies of recent memory, one that serves its timelessly existential theme with bloody delights”
– Zachary Lee / RogerEbert.com

“Intelligent, witty, and hilarious”
– Anna Miller / Collider

“John Hsu’s frightfully entertaining Taiwanese horror-comedy imagines a world where the dead are just as beholden to the pressures of fame as the living, and an industry has grown around ambitious apparitions building their personal brands. Urban legends live forever, and forgotten ghosts literally disappear —-

At its heart, Dead Talents Society is an affectionate ode to East Asian horror cinema — The concept has shades of Beetlejuice as well, and Hsu’s world-building is equally delightful, revealing just enough to intrigue while prioritizing jokes and not over-explaining its concepts. — Hsu’s ability to balance the film’s many disparate elements while keeping a solid grasp on character is impressive, showing strong vision and a steady hand.”
