“Haunted Housemates” is a horror comedy short film by writer/director Zara Goodman, and her directorial debut. Produced by GenZara Productions, in association with 2 Shades Lighter Entertainment and Odyssey Motion Pictures, Haunted Housemates masterfully blends gothic horror, comedy, and social commentary into a compelling coming-of-age story.

It explores privilege, identity, and belonging with a sharp sense of humour and an appreciation for Brisbane’s unique cultural landscape. While our heroine, Neveah’s, character arc is rooted in personal growth, the film also challenges broader societal expectations, making it both a supernatural comedy and a reflection on modern young adulthood.
