In the delightfully offbeat comedy Mallory's Ghost, a perfectly ordinary life is hilariously upended by the most inconvenient supernatural roommate imaginable. Mallory, a pragmatic young woman just trying to navigate her career and a promising new relationship, finds her tidy world thrown into chaos when the ghost of her wildly eccentric and perpetually dramatic great-aunt Beatrice suddenly materializes in her apartment. Directed by Arabella Oz, the film pits the sensible, groundedly portrayed Mallory against the flamboyant spirit, played with scene-stealing panache, who is determined to rectify her own unfinished business from beyond the grave.

As Beatrice’s otherworldly meddling escalates—from sabotaging dates to offering unsolicited and archaic life advice—Mallory is forced on a reluctant journey of self-discovery. The central conflict becomes a riotous clash of wills between the living and the dead, where Mallory must learn to embrace a little chaos if she ever wants her peace and quiet back. Brimming with witty dialogue and supernatural shenanigans, the film crafts a warm, comedic atmosphere where family ties, it turns out, can be the most unbreakable—and annoying—bonds of all.
