In the aftermath of a near-death experience in the final days of the First World War, former soldier Tomás has become a photographer with a particular — and peculiar — expertise. Presenting the bereaved an opportunity for one final, indelible memory of their dead loved ones, Tomás creates family photos in which the living and the dead are posed together. Haunted by a vision of an orphaned girl, Tomás is drawn to a disease-stricken village that its inhabitants claim is overrun by ghosts. With the young orphan at his side, Tomás digs deeper into the mysteries of the village — and of what lies between life and death.
"A Hungarian horror movie with an interesting perspective. Post Mortem follows a wandering young man who, after surviving the war, works as a post mortem photographer. Guided by the vision of a girl, he ends up in a village plagued by mysterious deaths and apparitions. Tempted to leave immediately, he soon decides to investigate the intentions of the ghosts in the village with the help of Anna, the orphan girl from his vision. The script of this movie is somewhat convoluted and ends up falling into the conventional. However, its approach to appearances in photographs is interesting, so it's worth giving it a chance if you're a fan of the genre. Read more in our full review of Post Mortem."
