Davika Hoorne's Thai-language Movie 'A Useful Ghost' Gets North American Deal With 'Terrifier' Outfit Cineverse
The feature is produced by Cattleya Paosrijaroen and Soros Sukhum at Bangkok-based 185 Films, whose credits include Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Memoria and Kristen Tan’s Pop Aye. “What makes A Useful Ghost such a singular thrill isn’t just its wickedly inventive premise, but the remarkable control and tonal dexterity with which Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke — astonishingly, in his feature debut — brings it to life,” says Eric Rowe, Executive Director of Programming at Cineverse. “With rare wit and emotional clarity, Boonbunchachoke crafts a sharp, blackly comic satire that repurposes the ghost story trope into a playful yet pointed meditation on love, labor,, and the absurdity of never being allowed to rest”.
