Tha Rae: The Exorcist is 2025 Thai supernatural horror film directed and co-written by Taweewat Wantha, starring Jirayu Tangsrisuk, Phiravich Attachitsataporn, Thaneth Warakulnukroh, Nichaphat Chatchaipholrat, Ongart Cheamcharoenpornkul, and Sawanee Utoomma. It is the first Thai film to feature an exorcism in the classic The Exorcist style.

Background and production

Tha Rae: The Exorcist is directed by Thaweewat Wantha, the filmmaker who rose to fame with the success of Death Whisperer (2023) and Death Whisperer 2 (2024), two supernatural horror films that achieved massive box-office success. He later turned down directing the third installment, saying he had run out of ideas.

The film is the first Thai movie to blend Christian beliefs with traditional Thai ghost folklore, two belief systems that are quite distinct from one another.

According Thaweewat, filming this movie was challenging every day and for every scene, especially the exorcism rituals performed by Sopha. These sequences were particularly difficult because they involve unfamiliar rituals that required extensive research. On set, the real yao, fluent in the Phu Thai language, participated to ensure accuracy.

The production team also consulted with a real priest specializing in exorcism and used verified chants for the scenes. There was no improvisation. At times, the actors had almost no time to prepare and had to read the chants live on set because the language was complex. Every detail was carried out with the utmost respect for authenticity, making these scenes both terrifying and intensely ritualistic.

The church scenes were particularly delicate to film, as every activity inside the church required prior approval from the Vatican. Therefore, the production team recreated the church set, based on the real-life St. Joseph's Church in Nakhon Phanom. This set was used to depict the old church where Ming performs the exorcism for Saeng's daughter.
