Seriously, a 1 for this episode? The episode was so well-received that haters felt the need to jump in and grade it down because their favs could never. Y'all need to get a job. But that just says a lot about the episode huh.
Anyway, in all seriousness, this episode was jaw-dropping, in myriad ways. The ruthless brutality, the epic tragedy, the mind-numbing twists - all come together to send us viewers on a roller coaster of emotions. My heart soared and sank. My eyes teared up and then popped out. Two Brothers is one of the best episodes AoT has offered, which says a lot about this episode.

The movie is reminiscent of The Wailing, Na Hong Jin's previous work. You can tell the two movies were written by the same person. Almost absent of jumpscares, an anomaly for horror movies, especially Southeast Asian horror, The Medium breathes fresh air into the genre. The movie started off excruciatingly slow, but the buildup was important for our understanding of the context. However, The Medium more than compensated with its last 45 minutes, where so many things were happening at once that the viewer doesn't dare to even blink or breathe. Its raw portrayal of possession and exorcism is incredibly unsettling. Brutal and merciless in its execution, The Medium is a haunting piece of work that leaves more questions than answers.
