The Dead is a 1987 film directed by John Huston, starring his daughter Anjelica Huston. The Dead was the last film that Huston directed, and it was released posthumously.
According to Pauline Kael, "Huston directed the movie, at eighty, from a wheelchair, jumping up to look through the camera, with oxygen tubes trailing from his nose to a portable generator; most of the time, he had to watch the actors on a video monitor outside the set and use a microphone to speak to the crew. Yet he went into dramatic areas that he'd never gone into before - funny, warm family scenes that might be thought completely out of his range. Huston never before blended his actors so intuitively, so musically."
It was adapted from the short story "The Dead" by James Joyce (from his short works collection Dubliners), and nominated for an Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay. It was also nominated for an Academy Award for Costume Design.
The film takes place in Dublin in 1904 at an Epiphany party held by two elderly sisters. The story focuses attention on the academic Gabriel Conroy (Donal McCann) and his discovery of his wife Gretta's (Anjelica Huston) memory of a deceased lover.

Plot: Ryan Tripp lived by the credo "nothing more can go wrong." Two years after losing his wife during childbirth, Tripp woke up in a hospital bed to find that he had survived the house fire that claimed the lives of his three young boys. Tripp trudges through his days teaching English at a New England prep school, his alma mater, never bothering to look for closure or find solace. To him, "nothing more can go wrong" seems like the best way to get through the day. That was until he met Anna Dias. Hundreds of miles away in the small town of Margate, Anna is enduring struggles of her own. Coping with her inability to get pregnant and its affects on the disintegrating relationship with her boyfriend James, she is actively searching for the very things in life that Ryan Tripp has lost. It is Anna who is haunted by the spirits of three young boys. Looking for an explanation, Anna falls into the realm of Cathedral Pines, a sacred monument hidden in the Pine Barrens just outside of Margate. With the help of Jon Carter, a mysterious drifter who lives on the fringes of the Pine Barrens, Anna begins to unravel the secrets of a 400 year old curse. The young boys' refusal to cross over to the spirit world has closed the passage and they are now being manipulated by an ancient evil. As Anna continues to pursue answers, she comes across the story of Ryan Tripp. Believing the boys are his, she tracks him down and urges him to come to the Pines. Ryan ignores her pleas and the souls of the departed begin to spill out of the Pines and into the town of Margate. It is a combination of frustration and desperation that finally drives Tripp to Cathedral Pines where he engages in an epic battle with an unholy spirit for the souls of his children.

Genres: Comedy,Is it wise to come to me
To guide you spiritually
Dead eyes stare back from the void
Reflecting what I see
I am the key that locks the door
The link between the worlds
Take my hand
Dare to walk with fire
Let the dead rest in peace
Step aside leave them be
Let the dead rest in peace
Sacrilege, final sleep
I am here to satisfy
Your curiosity
If you think it's worth the risk
To be stuck with me
There are things you cannot see
That's why you come to me
Take my hand
Dare to walk with fire
Let the dead rest in peace
Step aside leave them be
Let the dead rest in peace
Sacrilege, final sleep
Was it wise to come to me
To guide you spiritually
Your dead eyes stare back from the void
Now you're stuck with me
Let the dead rest in peace
Step aside leave them be
Let the dead rest in peace
Sacrilege, final sleep
Let the dead rest in peace
Step aside leave them be
Let the dead rest in peace
