Stephen King praises Argentine horror series ‘Mis muertos tristes’

The upcoming Argentine horror miniseries ‘Mis muertos tristes’, directed by Pablo Larraín, has garnered international attention following praise from author Stephen King. King described the premise—which involves a person who can hear and see the dead falling into a city's water supply—as ‘genial’ on social media.

Inspired by the literary works of Mariana Enríquez, the four-episode production is scheduled to release on Netflix on September 24. The project recently gained visibility at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. During the festival, lead actresses Dolores Fonzi, Mercedes Morán, Alejandra Flechner, and Carolina Álvarez wore jackets reading ‘Las Malvinas son argentinas’.

Actress Carolina Álvarez has also highlighted the production's approach to representation. She noted that the series avoids common industry stereotypes regarding body type, stating that she was cast for her acting ability and connection with the director rather than being pigeonholed by her physical appearance.
