Dark Magic Drama Confessions of a Shaman Debuts

M STUDIO, The Ghost Radio, and MI GROUP present the horror-drama Confessions of a Shaman, directed by Ton Natthanon Chollumpee, adapted from the renowned ghost stories of Kru Trii on The Ghost Radio. The film stars Alek Thiradej Mettaweerayut as Mo To, a former monk who loses everything—loved ones, honor, and justice—to life's cruelties before turning to dark magic under master shaman Mo Tian, played by Chakarit Yaemnaam, to exact revenge.

Director Ton revealed that the film captivates audiences through its blend of human drama and supernatural elements. "What's special is that it comes from The Ghost Radio, and many people are willing to believe it actually happened," he said. "I want viewers to leave feeling something beyond fear—a sense that lingers, making them question what might truly exist in our society."

The cast delivers powerful performances across only five or six main characters. Chakarit embodies Mo Tian so convincingly that audiences forget they're watching an actor. Alek pushes his limits as demanded, fully committing to a deeply emotional role. Boom Ranya's chemistry with Alek creates an authentic mother-son dynamic that moved the entire crew to tears. Am Amrin brings depth to comic moments without tipping into levity, while Wayne Falconer's understated presence elevates the film, and Denis Jelilia adds color and brightness to otherwise dark scenes.

Alek shared his motivation: "I wanted to do this because it's genuinely challenging. Director Ton asked if I could cut my skin head, lose more weight, and much more. The hardest part involves one deeply painful scene, and after over a decade in the industry, I couldn't pass on this role."

From legendary horror tales to a full-scale cinema experience, Confessions of a Shaman takes viewers into a world of dark magic, vengeance, and a path of no return, arriving in theaters December 12.
