Girl Haunts Boy directed by Emily Ting, is a romantic horror comedy movie revolving around the story of a young man Cole, and a girl ghost from the 1920s, named Bea. The Peyton List-Michael Cimino duo ventures through a series of events after Cole encounters Bea, at the new house he moved to following his father's death.

As a grieving Cole opens up to Bea, their bond becomes stronger and they share stories trying to bridge the gap of time. Bea helps Cole face the things that make him scared while he in turn learns the truth about what haunts her past and supports her.

Trapped in a room under a curse from almost a hundred years back, Bea gets Cole to vent out her feelings and soon the supernatural advent turns into a love story.

The movie was released on Netflix on October 10, 2024, and with Halloween around the corner, the excitement has peaked with the spooky spin of a young adult romantic comedy. Girl Haunts Boy is reportedly getting a novel that will further expand on the film.
