Whether he\u2019s lampooning talk shows, influencer personas and videos, lifestyle reality TV, competition shows, or ghost-chaser programs, though, every story thread comes back to a handful of ghosts pursuing fame and fortune \u2014&nbsp;and avoiding oblivion \u2014&nbsp;by trying to become urban legends.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dead Talents Society - Official Trailer HD\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YEMc4m4vYZc?rel=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Reigning \u201cghostress\u201d superstar Catherine (Sandrine Pinna) has earned Golden Ghost awards and wide acclaim as the contortionist diva behind a classic hotel haunting. But her prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Jessica (Eleven Yao) has recently surpassed her with a fresh new innovation in scaring mortals: a viral internet video that lets Jessica jump out of people\u2019s computers to scare the crap out of them. As their rivalry heats up, a freshly dead young woman identified as \u201cThe Rookie\u201d (Gingle Wang) enters the mix, but finds she lacks the presence or confidence to scare people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Rookie\u2019s failure at ghost auditions and her cringey, half-hearted haunting attempts leave her existence at risk. Ghosts are tied to the living world through significant objects, and hers has been lost, so soon she\u2019ll fade into nothing. She can only continue on in the afterlife if she proves profitable to a predatory scare-generating corporation, which will give her a pass to continue interacting with the world of the living.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The focus on scares as a form of currency and successful scarers as the world\u2019s biggest celebrities hearkens back to Pixar\u2019s animated favorite <em>Monsters, Inc.<\/em>, but Hsu and co-writer Tsai Kun-Lin are referencing a lot more than that. Drawing equally on real urban legends, decades of Asian horror cinema, viral online videos, pop-idol videos, and reality TV, they veer from one silly mode to the other with manic abandon. They follow the three-way competition between Catherine, Jessica, and Rookie through a variety of lenses, as if it\u2019s mostly a series of TV shows other ghosts are watching.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/netflixs-dead-talents-society-is-the-spiritual-successor-beetlejuice-really-needed-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">It\u2019s a chaotic approach, but also a high-energy one, packed with goofy gags and referential imagery, from the mumbling hair-in-face ghostress who evokes movies like <em>The Ring<\/em> and <em>Ju-On: The Grudge <\/em>to Jessica\u2019s fluffy red dress, taken from the final act of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2019\/8\/30\/20836173\/perfect-blue-satoshi-kon-explained\">Satoshi Kon\u2019s anime classic <em>Perfect Blue<\/em><\/a>. <em>Dead Talents Society <\/em>is simultaneously a media satire and an underdog story, as Rookie teams up with a group of misfits led by grimly positive talent agent Makoto (Chen Bolin). Together, they try to save Catherine\u2019s career, beat the smirking, patronizing Jessica, and keep Rookie from oblivion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The stakes sound high, but Hsu\u2019s approach of framing the biggest action sequences as reality competition shows or prank shows gives the whole movie an agreeably light, goofy tone and lets it operate at breakneck speed. Good horror-comedy is hard to pull off, but Hsu finds his balance by steering hard into the comedy, while pouring on the fake blood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">There are messages at work here about how so many people these days are hungry to be seen, but can only get attention online by chasing trends and employing gimmicks, leaving any recognition and applause they get feeling a little hollow and lonely. But the movie never hits those notes hard enough to make them maudlin, any more than <em>Beetlejuice <\/em>feels like a serious exploration of loneliness and loss for gothy teenager Lydia. Rookie\u2019s feelings of frustration and fear are authentic enough to give the movie a little sympathetic warmth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Instead, Hsu\u2019s film channels some of Burton\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/opinion\/450444\/tim-burton-autistic-neurodivergent-representation-beetlejuice\">empathy for the alienated and outcast<\/a>, alongside his early-career rambunctious weirdness, while mixing in a fair bit of media satire and digs at influencer culture. Without feeling imitative or indebted to Burton\u2019s world, Hsu and Tsai Kun-Lin arrive at a similar place, where one of the biggest frustrations of being dead is how much the afterlife resembles actual life, albeit through a twisted funhouse mirror that turns the whole story into an agreeable carnival ride.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Dead Talents Society <em>is now streaming on Netflix.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/review\/545741\/dead-talents-society-best-new-on-netflix-horror-comedy\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For fans of Tim Burton\u2019s 1998 comedy Beetlejuice, the 2024 sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a fun exercise in nostalgia, reuniting characters who haven\u2019t been on the big screen in 35 years.
