About Kuman Thong Movie:

Kuman Thong (Thai: กุมารทอง; also known as Kuman Thong: Black Magic Baby) is a Philippine horror drama film written and directed by Xian Lim co-written by Iris Lee. It stars Filipino actresses Cindy Miranda, Althea Ruedas and Thai actor Max Nattapol.

On April 2, 2024, in an Instagram post Xian Lim posted a teaser of his new film project. The film Kuman Thong would be the third project for Lim as a director who is more known as an actor. It is also his first directorial horror film credit.

The film was shot entirely in Thailand in Bangkok and Ayutthaya. Principal photography took place from April 28 to May 6, 2024.

The film is based on the Kuman Thong of the Thai folk religion, which are artifacts made from stillborn babies and is believed to bring good luck to their owners if properly venerated. Lim compared the Kuman Thong to the tiyanak in the Philippines which are inherently malevolent as opposed to the former.

The film was release in the Philippines on July 3, 2024, under Viva Films.
