Prepared by Movies Dock Editorial

Ghosthing follows a reserved mortician who can see the dead and becomes entangled with the spirit of a prominent influencer. When she refuses to move on, he is drawn into an unauthorized investigation surrounding her sudden death, blending supernatural mystery with comedy and horror.

Ghosthing is a 2026 Indonesian comedy-fantasy horror film directed by Arie Azis and written by Evelyn Afnilia. Its central premise pairs a quiet mortician with the outspoken ghost of a high-profile influencer who will not leave the world of the living behind.

The film turns that supernatural encounter into an investigation. To establish that the influencer was murdered, the mortician must work outside official channels while dealing with a spirit whose dramatic personality disrupts his previously controlled existence.

Story without spoilers

The story centers on a stoic mortician with the unusual ability to perceive deceased people. His routine changes when the spirit of a high-profile influencer remains present instead of departing after death.

Convinced that her sudden demise was the result of homicide, the ghost pushes the mortician toward an unauthorized investigation. The premise combines a suspected murder with supernatural complications, as the living and the dead are forced into an uneasy partnership to seek answers.

What to expect

Ghosthing is built around a mixture of comedy, fantasy and horror rather than a single genre. The mortician’s supernatural ability provides the fantasy and ghost-story framework, while the suspected homicide supplies the mystery element described in the premise.

The film’s keywords also point to haunting, gang-related elements, terror, surreal comedy and the idea of a human spirit refusing to move on. These details suggest a story that places lighter, unusual situations alongside supernatural danger, without revealing how the investigation develops.
