Thai black-magic horror Confessions Of A Shaman has turned into a massive domestic hit, climbing all the way to number two among Thailand’s highest-grossing films of 2026 just five days after opening in cinemas.
Directed by Nattanont Cholumpi, it features Mor Tian – played by Thai cinema veteran Chakrit Yamnam – as a powerful shaman whose mastery of black magic pulls everyone around him into a dangerous mess of occult rituals, spirits, family drama, and revenge. Alek Teeradetch Metawarayut and Denise Jelilcha Kapun headline alongside him, while GOT7’s BamBam also pops up in a special cameo rather than a full lead role.
You’ve got to say, it is pretty impressive seeing local black-magic horror continue to dominate Thailand’s box office like this, and with the movie still playing in Thai cinemas, it might climb that one place higher.
I’m certainly keeping an eye out for when it hits Netflix at some stage.
