Get Ready for “Ziam”: Netflix’s Latest Action-Zombie Extravaganza!
Unleashing a New Kind of Zombie Flick
Zombie aficionados and action junkies, mark your calendars: Netflix is gearing up to drop a unique cinematic thrill ride on July 9, 2025! From the vibrant shores of Thailand comes Ziam, the streaming giant’s first action-zombie film, and it’s bound to redefine the genre.
Martial Arts Meets the Undead
Imagine the adrenaline rush of a martial arts epic colliding with the brain-munching chaos of a zombie apocalypse. That’s exactly what Ziam brings to the table! Starring the incredibly talented Mark-Prin Suparat and Nychaa Nuttanicha Dungwattanawanich, this film promises more than just the usual flesh-eating mayhem. Get ready for some jaw-dropping Muay Thai action as our hero battles hordes of the undead with nothing but his fists (and skills) to rely on!
Mark-Prin, who takes on the role of Singh—a former professional Muay Thai fighter with hopes of a peaceful life—shared his intense training journey with Netflix, revealing, “I joined a Muay-Thai workshop and spent around four to five hours a day there!” Talk about commitment! From warm-ups to fight choreography, Mark went the extra mile to embody his character.
The Plot Twist: A Thai Take on Zombies
Ziam dives straight into the heart of the action. Singh’s honeymoon-phase dreams with his girlfriend Rin (played by Nychaa) are obliterated when a sudden zombie outbreak crashes into her hospital. Now, Singh must harness his fighting spirit to save Rin and a young boy named Buddy, navigating a desperate world where hand-to-hand combat reigns supreme over traditional weaponry.
One of the most refreshing aspects of this film is its gritty realism. Director Kulp Kaljareuk emphasizes the physicality of zombies, stating, “Each zombie is crafted with special makeup. No CGI! It adds a visceral presence that pulls the audience in.” This is not just another zombified romp; it’s about raw, gritty encounters, emphasizing the sheer intensity of Muay Thai techniques.
