Among the derelict homes and snow-swept plains of the fictional Irénée-les-Neiges, the dead return to haunt the living in this elliptical and genre-bending film from acclaimed writer and director Denis Côté. Wracked by the sudden death of 21-year-old Simon Dubé (Philippe Charette), the family and close-knit townspeople struggle to cope with their grief over the unexpected tragedy. Their desperate search for closure summons an ambiguous answer from the beyond as eerie spectres of the past begin to appear and wander the frozen soil. Captured on gritty 16mm, Ghost Town Anthology walks a fine line between the real and imaginary, prompting questions about the nature of mourning, the fate of post-industrial society, and the fear of the Other. A far cry from your typical “horror” movie, Côté’s adaptation of Laurence Olivier’s 2015 novel will entice you with its poetic imagery and raise the hair on the back of your neck in equal measure.

“…a strangely arresting Twilight Zone story… a pointedly modern portrait of a place that’s come unstuck in time.” - Indiewire

“Denis Côté chronicles the bizarre after-effects of a small-town tragedy, weaving supernatural elements into the tattered social fabric of a rural community.” - The Hollywood Reporter
