SOCIEDADE DOS TALENTOS MORTOS

For the first time in my life, I don't know how to review a movie. I don't know how to put into words how that movie made me feel. Still, I'll try my best.

First, the movie is about a girl who just died and went to the afterlife. She explores the society of the Dead Talents and tries to find a way to fit in. That's a journey we all take in our own lives every day. Who we are and how we fit into society define who we become. This move explains it all rather perfectly.

The acting is incredible. The actors all have wide ranges, and they all play them perfectly.

This is not a horror movie. I laughed my lungs out and then cried my eyes out. The emotional rollercoaster was a fun journey.

To whomever came up with making this movie, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

No pun intended - the movie is really funny. If you believe that there might be something after we die ... well the movie might be a ray of sunshine ... of sorts! Because of course it is not all roses and fun stuff. Actually it looks like even after death one has to prove oneself to say the least ... while it seems like fun stuff to do, I am not sure how many would want to be working so long after they are gone.

Many funny ideas, but also as crazy and out there as it is: predictable! If you have a weird mind perhaps, but still, I was able to guess where this was going to go. That said, it still is a lot of fun to watch. Acting is good all things considered - which includes a lot of silliness.

It's been awhile since I watched such a fun horror comedy movie.

The movie is so good and funny. It reminded me of the old school hong kong horror movies.

The premise is interesting, the acting is good, and it is shot beautifully too. The cinematography, lighting, editing, all made it enjoyable.

I enjoyed all of the characters too. None of the characters are annoying or made useless. They all served their importance and part of the family.

I like the idea of the urban legend and how ghosts can still touch objects and need to ride a bus (lmao) to get into places.

Overall, such a fun movie and definitely worth a rewatch.

Let me start off this review by saying that this movie was really likable. The cast was great, the characters were unique and enjoyable, and the overall narrative was pretty original. We follow a young ghost woman who tries to create her own urban legend after her death. In this world, it's completely normal to exist in the afterlife, and many ghosts spend their time scaring the living with their coolest scare ideas, hoping to go viral in the afterlife.

Our protagonist isn't really interested in that, but soon she realizes she has no choice, otherwise, she will simply be erased. With the help of her friend and numerous other characters, she must try to create the perfect scare. However, it's not as easy as it sounds, since you need both talent and even a license.

As I mentioned at the start, this movie has plenty of enjoyable aspects. From a technical standpoint, it's well-made and consistently entertaining. It heavily leans into comedy and supernatural elements, with some drama and horror mixed in. The film mirrors the world of the living, reflecting themes of fame, glamour, and the pursuit of being unforgettable. It's a unique take, showcasing a ghost world with its own TV shows and even awards for the best scares.

That being said, the movie isn't without flaws. The biggest issue for me was that it sometimes felt a little all over the place. The fast editing, combined with frequent close-ups on characters' faces and the added challenge of reading subtitles in time, made it feel overstimulating at times. Maybe this would smooth out on a rewatch, but during my first viewing, it was a bit much. Additionally, some of the comedic elements tried a little too hard for my taste, which made a few scenes fall flat instead of fully landing their humor.

Overall, it's an enjoyable movie with a lot of talent involved, even if it can feel overwhelming at times. If you don't mind that or are generally a fan of Asian comedy cinema, I would definitely recommend giving this a try, especially since it's easily available on Netflix. [5,6/10]

Truly loved this movie. In a way you could say I felt seen. This horror movie is a breath of fresh air. In all its gore and pain, there's something real intimate and honest hidden within the movie. This movie has themes that speak directly to the heart and mind, but visibly covered with laughter and the color red. The characters were lovable, relatable and first and for most you truly hear them out as individuals. Super fun take of the supernatural. The movie is great, and quite frankly I recommend for anyone who wants to watch something. If you've ever wondered in your life time what it is to be seen, maybe you'll find this answer within this movie. I did anyways.
