Set in the remote mountains of Thailand, The Medium is a chilling supernatural horror that blends folklore, documentary-style filmmaking, and psychological terror into an unsettling experience. The story follows a film crew documenting the life of Nim, a respected local shaman in the Isan region. She claims to be possessed by the benevolent goddess Ba Yan, a deity worshipped by her ancestors. But when her young niece, Mink, begins displaying strange and erratic behavior, Nim suspects that a darker force has taken hold of her.

What starts as a routine spiritual inheritance soon spirals into a harrowing nightmare. Mink’s condition worsens—she laughs uncontrollably, speaks in foreign tongues, and exhibits disturbing physical contortions. At first, her family believes she is destined to inherit Ba Yan’s power, but Nim realizes too late that something far more malevolent lurks within. As the crew continues filming, they capture unexplainable events, eerie whispers in the night, and a growing sense of dread that infects everyone around Mink.

As rituals fail and the possession intensifies, the family’s desperation leads them to uncover horrifying secrets buried in their past. The truth behind Mink’s possession is far worse than anyone could have imagined, and the entity inside her does not intend to leave without bloodshed. When the final act of exorcism is performed, chaos erupts, and what unfolds is a terrifying descent into madness, leaving only devastation in its wake.

Directed by Banjong Pisanthanakun, The Medium delivers slow-burning horror laced with disturbing imagery, culminating in a shocking, relentless climax. It’s a film that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll, making audiences question whether the spirits of the dead ever truly rest.
