Nate H. reviewed The Medium (2021)
Review from the comment
Solid, creepy mockumentary focused on a young Thai woman who may be next in line to take over as the village shaman. When she begins to behave strangely, the current shaman begins to wonder if something sinister is afoot.
There is a bit of a slow buildup here, but I was actually into the setup so I didn't mind it. If it was 20 minutes shorter, would be much better. The Medium also draws a lot of inspiration from movies like The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, and the Exorcist and sometimes it feels like it's forcing unnecessary elements of those into the action. But overall, a satisfying watch.
