In the cold winter of 1918, Tomás, a young man who works doing post-mortem photography, ends up in a small Hungarian village. The strange nocturnal sounds, the hostility, the mysterious deaths and the somber figures that appear in his photographs all urge him to leave as soon as possible. But Tomás returns to the village to investigate the ghosts’ intentions and find a way to get rid of them.

3/5

3.5/5

[Despite being] light on story and feat. an uncomfortable surrogate father/daughter relationship, Post Mortem is beautiful and haunting. Featuring top notch visual effects and stunt work, the film features no shortage of memorable sequences
