It’s not as if Maxime wants to be Demi Moore in Ghost (1990), summoning his beloved Hélène as Moore did Patrick Swayze. Looking to start a new relationship, he tries to find a way to cut off contact with her. The only problem is that Hélène has recently passed away – she is capricious and is likely to appear out of thin air.

A witty take on Hollywood tropes and the romantic comedy genre, but this time set in Wallonia. This short film by Belgian director Michiel Blanchart was shortlisted for an Oscar and produced by Sam Raimi, best known for The Evil Dead. You’re Dead Hélène is an attempt to find the potential for horror in every relationship, lingering in memories of an ex-partner as a poltergeist, a zombie, or a cursed spirit.
