The director, Rob Jabbaz, cites a screening of “Ebola Syndrome” at Fantasia as his inspiration, speaking about the literal danger he felt in the theater. Already gathering buzz as a breakthrough for the zombie genre, this is the story of a rapidly spreading pandemic (current!) that basically turns people into feral creatures. This is the line on the top of the program for this Taiwanese slice of insanity: “Fantasia rarely gives trigger warnings, but this film warrants all of them. This one sounds like it could be atmospheric and effective. As the ghost gives the child a new task every night, secrets are unearthed. One night, the girl sees a child outside her window, a ghostly figure with wings, and the pair form a friendship. British filmmaker Ruth Platt directs this ghost story about a young girl (Kiera Thompson) who lives in a vicarage with her deeply traumatized mother.
