A horrifying story of a shaman’s inheritance within the Isan area of Thailand. What could possibly be possessing a member of the family may not be the Goddess they make it out to be.
The Medium will instantly seize any horror followers consideration simply by the names behind the movie. Director Bangjong Pisanthanakun gave us the spooky Shutter (2004), and South Korean screen-writer Na Hong-jin made an enormous splash within the business along with his improbable The Wailing (2016). The Medium digs into possessions and has a documentary crew comply with a small village shaman within the midst of unusual and disturbing occasions.
When you’d be right to anticipate nothing else than a milestone in Thai horror, given the credentials of the folks concerned, The Medium does not attain heights it ought to. The primary possession that we’re following feels prefer it could possibly be a sub-story within the beforehand talked about The Wailing which was a lot deeper. I believed the documentary hand-held digicam type was pointless and when folks begin to die there’s actually no justification for making an attempt to maintain filming the motion. That apart, the director captures some large amount of environment and the setting of rural Thailand appears to be excellent for a narrative of this type.
I’ve learn some folks acquired frightened of this movie, and whereas that is very removed from my very own expertise, it is nonetheless value a glance if you wish to see the most recent in Thai horror.
Style: Horror. 2h 10min.
