Episode 240: Ziam (2025)

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the undead symphony in which I will be watching the Netflix Thailand movie ZIAM. Siam being the original colonial name of Thailand. Now, this isn’t our first zombie movie from Thailand, it will actually be the fourth after Operation Undead, that WW2 movie, Paradise Z, with the two hot models living in a swanky hotel during the zombie apocalypse, and zombie fighters, which I get mixed up with zombie fight club, but then remember it was the one with the very loud idiot twenty somethings who all deserved to die. The actual zombie fighters appearing right at the end. Operation Undead 6Paradise Z 5.5Zombie Fighters 4I am hoping this will be better, although the premise annoys me. AS if it is a blood borne virus spread by cuts and scratches and bites, then the idiot main character fighting them all with bare fists will just annoy me.The description is that a dystopian apocalypse. A swarm of horrifying zombies. A thrilling fight for survival Can an ex-muay thai fighter escape danger before it is too late? OK THERE ARE CHECKBOXES THERE5/10 in IMDB and ScreenRant so…meh at bestThis feels a lot like BLOCK Z, from the Phillipines and Day zero, also from the philipiines, but with the stupid muay thai and annoying kid. The USP the unique selling point of this movie is the weakest link. Whilst the FX is great, excellent makeup and gore. It was shoe horning the muay thai in that ruined it. Single punch or kicks for each zombie with bare fists from the hero? That dog wont hunt monsignor. What next sumo wrestlers v zombies? How dare you!And fish zombies!6/10
