A dead woman finds a clean new form in A Useful Ghost exclusive clip

After winning the Grand Prix at Cannes Critics’ Week last year, the Thai supernatural dramedy A Useful Ghost is coming to the U.S. in time to get a jump on spring cleaning. Directed by Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke, A Useful Ghost follows Nat (Davika Hoorne), the recent victim of a deadly respiratory disease caused by dust pollution. After her death, she haunts the factory of her widower, March (Wisarut Himmarat), who begins showing symptoms of the same affliction. That doesn’t stop them from having a fully loving and sexual relationship, especially as she aims to rid his life of the bad ghosts and dust surrounding him.

In this exclusive clip from A Useful Ghost, it’s a meet-cute by way of Hoover as March meets Nat’s new form that really sucks:

Now Thailand’s submission for Best International Film at the 98th Academy Awards, A Useful Ghost spent 2025 haunting the festival circuit, playing at Cannes, BFI London, and the Chicago International Film Festival, among many others. The film opens in the U.S. on January 16.
