Netflix releases Pablo Larraín horror miniseries ‘Mis muertos tristes’

Netflix has released the four-episode horror miniseries ‘Mis muertos tristes’ (My Sad Dead), directed by Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín. The production is based on the literary universe of Argentine author Mariana Enríquez, blending elements from several of her stories.

The series stars Mercedes Morán as Ema, a recently retired doctor with the ability to see and hear the dead. The narrative tension escalates with the arrival of her niece, Julie, who possesses a more visceral connection to the supernatural. The plot is further complicated by a series of violent events in a Buenos Aires neighborhood, blurring the lines between the living and the deceased.

Musically, the project features contributions from Chilean musicians Mauricio and Francisco Durán, members of the band Los Bunkers. The series has garnered international attention, including commentary from author Stephen King, for its atmospheric approach to horror that focuses on social wounds and grief rather than traditional jump scares.
