A Médium

Thai-Korean supernatural horror, Banjong Pisanthanakun's 'The Medium,' burns slowly but intensely throughout. It has all the elements of Asian horror unique to the Korean and Thai genres, such as creepy music and a darkly saturated filter. The film loses steam at times owing to flaws in its mockumentary style, but Pisanthanakun succeeds far more when he concentrates on the complexities of the familial links and what some of the key reveals imply for each character.

I must say I put my expectation high for this since I love Binjong's previous movies; Alone and Shutter but I'm a bit not satisfied since this one is less scary and story is less impacted compare to his previous horror work. Most scariest scene are already in the trailer and some part doesn't really make sense and brought more question than answer. Still this movie is worth watching and deserve at least 7/10 not bad but not reach its maximum potential.

Decent film.

Running time needed to be shorter, good cinematography.

Recommended.

Watch with subs in original.

Nice to see other cultures believes in supernatural world.

=========================================

The Medium begins as a captivating yet slow-burning thriller that eventually transitions into recycled scares and an incredibly underwhelming finish. If you've watched horror films centred around spiritual possession, then you have a good idea of what to expect. The Medium does not try to do anything new with the formula as it boldly embraces every found footage cliché. In addition, the actions of some characters will definitely frustrate and seem like cheap ways to move the plot closer to its chaotic yet uninspired climax. I'd recommend watching The Wailing and skipping this one.

This was suprisingly good until the characters got completely stupid. There was some great creativity in the plot, but like so many movies, the writers relied on utter stupidity from the characters to drive the plot and situations forward. Some great scenes in this film though. Very hardcore in some aspects.
