Netflix release of Pablo Larraín horror series

Overview

Netflix has released ‘Mis muertos tristes’ (also titled ‘My Sad Dead’), a four-part psychological horror miniseries directed by Pablo Larraín. Based on the stories of Argentine author Mariana Enríquez, the series follows Ema, a sixty-year-old retired doctor played by Mercedes Morán, who possesses the ability to perceive the deceased.

The narrative, which integrates elements from Enríquez’s works such as ‘Julie’, ‘A Sunny Place for Shady People’, and ‘Back When We Talked to the Dead’, explores themes of memory, trauma, and social violence in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. The plot intensifies when Ema’s niece, Julie (played by Carolina Sánchez Álvarez), arrives, causing supernatural disturbances that affect an entire neighborhood. The production is noted for grounding its horror in social realities, including poverty and marginalization. Musical contributions for the series include work by Chilean musicians Mauricio and Francisco Durán.

Prior to its release, the series was presented at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. During the festival, actress Dolores Fonzi criticized the state of cultural funding in Argentina under the government of Javier Milei, describing the situation as ‘pessimistic’ due to the weakening of the National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts (INCAA). At the same festival, lead actresses Dolores Fonzi, Mercedes Morán, Alejandra Flechner, and Carolina Álvarez wore jackets reading ‘Las Malvinas son argentinas’.

Author Stephen King expressed support for the project on social media, calling the premise a ‘great idea’ and describing the concept as ‘genial’. Additionally, actress Carolina Álvarez highlighted the production’s approach to representation, noting that the series avoids common industry stereotypes regarding body type.
