Thai horror classic Inherit, starring Woranat the centipede demon, is set to reach international audiences following its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Based on the 1991 horror novel Thayat Asun by Tri Apirum, the film brings the strange and powerful character of Woranat, an elderly woman who appears much younger, to a global stage.
Woranat's supernatural inheritance—a monstrous centipede demon passed down through generations—adds a sinister twist to the family legacy. Produced by GDH and TOFU Films, Inherit (Khun Yai Woranat) was chosen for the Centrepiece section at TIFF, signaling its significance in modern Thai horror fiction. The film will continue to screen at major international festivals, including the BFI London Film Festival, Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia, and the Busan International Film Festival in 2026.
