The Medium (2021)
“The Medium” is a chilling and deeply unsettling supernatural horror film that immerses audiences in the mysterious and terrifying world of shamanism. Directed by Banjong Pisanthanakun and produced by The Wailing director Na Hong-jin, this Thai-Korean collaboration delivers a haunting and atmospheric exploration of faith, culture, and possession.
Set in rural Thailand, the story is presented as a documentary following Nim, a local shaman who serves as a spiritual medium for the goddess Ba Yan. When Nim’s niece, Mink, begins exhibiting strange and violent behavior, it becomes clear that she is possessed by a malevolent entity far more sinister than Ba Yan.
As Nim and her family struggle to save Mink, they uncover dark secrets that push them into a nightmarish confrontation with the supernatural.
