The Medium indulges us with lush scenes of her practice.
Taking place in the northerly region of Thailand, the featured priestess is Nim (Sawanee Utoomma), who acts as the resident medium known for calling upon guidance and remedies from Ba Yan – a local ancient goddess. The film follows a production crew who is documenting the topic of Isan animism through a local shaman. This shows up too with the mockumentary The Medium. The two veterans are strong in their compelling narratives – both enjoy layering their characters with the burden of a strained human psyche, and winding up tension for the payoff in the last act. The promise of a collaboration between Shutter-famous Banjong Pisanthanakun, directing a new horror title produced by The Wailing Na Hong-jin, is enough to make any pundit in the genre sit up and take notice.
