Personally, the shaky camera style and the slow introduction bothered me. As a slightly different horror flick, however, I can definitely recommend it. Be that as it may, at the end of the day "The Medium" stays true to its genre and does not really surprise us.
The medium thai movie movie#
But Gulmongkolpech's transformation is impressive, and watching her performance you are almost afraid that she might have come a little too close to madness during the movie shoot.
Special praise goes to actress Narilya Gulmongkolpech, who initially only comes across as a pretty face, so that Mink seems to be a poorly fleshed-out teenage character. With its run-down ruins of an old building and the dim lighting, the finale gives the scenery an animalistic, Stone Age-like atmosphere, which toys with our primal fears. Over time, though, it becomes clear that circumstances are a little different. However, she is not willing to accept this. Mink is getting worse and worse over the next few days and weeks and Noi already suspects that the goddess Ba Yan has now chosen her daughter as a medium. When Nim then also finds something in her niece's closet that hints at Mink probably having nightmares, it is clear to the shaman that something is wrong. Sometimes, she behaves like a child, other times she drinks excessively. In fact, the film team also notices that Mink behaves very strangely. Noi has turned to Christianity and is therefore far from pleased when Nim tells her that her daughter Mink (Narilya Gulmongkolpech) could be haunted by a ghost. Nim has been out of touch with her sister Noi (Sirani Yankittikan) for a long time, as she was actually chosen for the role of shaman but passed on the task to Nim.
One day, Nim has to attend her brother-in-law's funeral.
The documentary is aimed at shedding light on the way the role of shaman is passed on in Nim's family, as the goddess Ba Yan has chosen the female members of the family as a medium for generations. Story: A team of documentary filmmakers accompanies the shaman Nim (Sawanee Utoomma) as she helps the people in her village when they are haunted by evil spirits.
