Netflix already has a large list of zombie series and films. Now, it’s time to get ready for an adrenaline rush as from Netflix Thailand with its first action-zombie film, Ziam. Releasing on July 9, 2025. This new movie promises to be exhilarating and to deliver a unique twist on the zombie genre. How? Well, it’s going to pit the raw power of Thai martial arts against hordes of the undead.

Starring the talented Mark-Prin Suparat and Nychaa Nuttanicha Dungwattanawanich, Ziam is going to throw viewers into a world where survival depends on courage, skill, and non-stop, bare-handed combat. Beyond a promise for thrilling action, the film is set to highlight Mark’s dedication to mastering Thai martial arts for the role.

Mark shared with media via the Netflix newsroom, “I had to get in top physical shape. I joined a Muay-Thai workshop and spent around four to five hours a day there. Training started with warm-ups, jumping rope, shadow boxing, practicing techniques with my coach, learning counterattacks, and rehearsing the fight choreography for the movie.”

The film’s title itself carries dual significance, combining “Siam,” Thailand’s former name, with the letter “Z” for “zombie,” symbolizing the invasion

What is Ziam?

Ziam follows Singh (Mark-Prin Suparat), a former professional Muay Thai fighter, whose dreams of a peaceful retirement with his girlfriend, Rin (Nychaa Nuttanicha Dungwattanawanich), a dedicated doctor, are brutally shattered. When a sudden zombie outbreak engulfs the hospital where Rin works, Singh is forced to put his body on the line and use his Muay Thai training to save Rin and a young boy named Buddy (Vayla Wanvayla Boonnithipaisit) from the relentless zombie onslaught.

The film promises gritty realism and heart-stopping tension as Singh engages in intense hand-to-hand combat with the zombie horde instead of the traditional guns, bats, or bows. Ziam distinguishes itself with its straightforward action and horror elements, offering pure zombie thrills with a distinctive twist.

Director Kulp Kaljareuk explained the vision behind the film, saying, “We’ve all seen many zombie movies, but we rarely see zombies involved in hand-to-hand combat or boxing. We wanted to explore what it’s like to fight zombies using the techniques of Muay Thai, which is known for its intensity and the use of the entire body, including elbows and knees as powerful weapons.”

The director also highlighted the film’s commitment to realism, adding, “Each zombie is crafted with special makeup. No CGI was used to create raw and gory flesh. This choice helps give the zombies a visceral, physical presence that draws the audience deeper into the world.”
