That aesthetic and concept have been so tired for so long, it’s hard not to imagine how much better “The Medium” might’ve been if it had ejected them as superfluous, adopting instead a more polished, traditional presentation.Ĭhatchai Pongprapaphan’s original score does provide some of that atmospheric refinement, as does production designer Akadech Kaewkot’s occasional interiors. There are some lovely shots of the surrounding forests, but too often “The Medium” has to stick with the jerky-cam visuals necessitated by using a video crew as characters (ones who never think to abandon their camera when fleeing in terror).
At the same time, Pisanthanakun’s brisk pacing somehow doesn’t build much cumulative suspense, and tethering the film to a pseudo-documentary conceit robs it of badly needed atmosphere. The script has a certain go-for-broke expansiveness in the end, taking its plot further than you may have expected. Nor will the bad-spirit contagion stop with her. “The Medium’s” second hour becomes a pileup of unnatural occurrences recorded by both the fictive documentary crew and surveillance cameras à la “Paranormal Activity.” Through them, Mink runs a gamut of demonic mischief, from evil cackling and rolled-back eyes to the wreaking of grievous bodily harm. When Noi finally takes panicked action, it only makes things worse. However, Mink’s conduct grows more and more alarming, convincing auntie that this is no “good” spirit, like her own guiding one. Nim soon decides her niece is possessed by a spirit, which is not what the skeptical young woman or her mother want to hear. But her behavior during these days of public mourning is peculiar, sometimes uncharacteristically antagonistic. Office worker Mink has grown into a beauty. Noi and adult daughter Mink (Narilya Gulmongkolpech) share a house in another town with Marit, his wife Pang (Arunee Wattana) and their infant son. Nonetheless, Nim travels to the funeral of Noi’s husband, who died suddenly. Since then, the two women have not particularly gotten along, their brother Manit (Yasaka Chaisorn) caught in the middle. In fact, she says, elder sister Noi (Sirani Yankittikan) was originally selected by the goddess Ba Yan, but refused the role.
A filmmaking team surveying shamanic practices has taken particular interest in middle-aged Nim (Sawanee Utoomma), a seamstress who’s also the chosen vessel for an ancestral spirit that has “protected the villagers for a long time.” That job has passed from one woman to another in her family, but purportedly by the spirit’s choice, not theirs. Pisanthanakun’s screenplay starts out as a mock documentary about spiritual practices of the Isan people in Thailand’s northeast. A watchable mixed bag that’s already been successful on home turf, the South Korean co-production will likely divide offshore viewers as it begins streaming on Shudder in various territories Oct. Hijinks to the deployment of a found-footage construct a la “Blair Witch.” There are perhaps too many ideas here, few of them novel, and none scary enough to keep these two-hours-plus taut. Still, cultural specificity only brings so much freshness to an overlong tale that ultimately trades in too many familiar tropes, from the victim’s evil-grinning, black-gunk-spewing Less likely to translate that widely is Pisanthanakun’s latest solo effort, “ The Medium.” Marking his return to straight horror after a couple romances and one more comedically slanted genre film (“Pee Mak”), this demonic possession saga is too thoroughly Thai in milieu and details to risk being just another derivative of “The Exorcist.” However, even in such a scenario Tamilrockers continue to serve people in the current era and situation.In 2004, Banjong Pisanthanakun and then-collaborator Parkpoom Wongpoom kickstarted their directorial careers with “Shutter,” a supernatural thriller so effective it’s been remade (albeit to lesser effect) abroad three times to date. Even there is a high court ruling which authenticates. It is to be noted that government has been very strict with anyone leaking the pirated movies, and has come with stringent laws regarding the same as well. For those who want to access the blocked URLs, all you need is proxy servers to access the same. Hence, in order to help viewers watch the movies, the platform continues to serve the needs of clients.
The domain extension of the website has to be changed from time to time, and this exercise is needed as and when the previous extension gets blocked. Even the quality which Tamilrockers maintained has been a source of pleasant surprise for many.

This platform takes no time to leak the movie the moment it is released or aired. Tamilrockers has been periodically leaking high profile movies and the actions have become a cause of botheration for people associated with the movie industry.
