The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 89 minutes.

What it is about

A silent horror-comedy short film about a fake ghost falling in love with a real one. Think Casablanca, but spooky and gay.

What to expect

A silent short that plays like a queer, supernatural screwball romance, Ghosted pairs a fake ghost with a real one and lets the awkward chemistry do the work. Directors Monika Treut and Ben Hirshhorn keep the 89-minute runtime light on its feet, leaning into physical comedy and the kind of longing glances that need no dialogue. Blake Brewer and Matt Mitchell carry the two-hander with a deadpan charm that suits the premise. Screening once on September 20 as part of HKLGFF 2026, in English with English and Chinese subtitles. Check the festival schedule for venue and ticket details; this is not a regular cinema release.
