A Useful Ghost is not just about ghosts-it's a razor-edged fantasy satire of Thai politics.

The "ghosts" are those disappeared, silenced, erased by a system that remembers only what it wants.

For LGBT+ people, the metaphor cuts deeper: we are the living ghosts forced to prove our "usefulness" just to survive-when human dignity should never hinge on utility.

The film throws our own cruelty back at us: a country that pushes some into silence and oblivion, yet their power lingers, haunting, demanding justice.

This is no horror film. It's a political question: how long will we live with loss, repression, lies-and even PM2.5 choking us-before we listen?

Ghosts never vanish. They hover, restless, waiting to be heard.
