The Medium
A story about shamanism in Thailand.
Directed by Banjong Pisanthanakun
Produced by Northern Cross, Showbox
A deeply unsettling folk-horror film that weaponizes Thai shamanic belief and family bonds to create sustained dread and visceral supernatural terror.
A shaman's family learn that their goddess is supposedly controlling one of them. However, their lives take a frightening turn when they realise the goddess has nothing to do with the possession.
