Movies Released Earlier This Week

Ziam

Ziam was released on Netflix on July 9th.

For viewers who enjoy: Thai films, zombie movies, action horror

Set in Bangkok in a world where a climate crisis has decimated the world’s food supplies, Ziam is fun action-horror. The movie takes place primarily inside a multi-story hospital where tainted food has created an outbreak of fast, vicious zombies. The story follows a former underground Muay Thai boxer named Singh who fights his way up through ten floors of the hospital to save his girlfriend. I enjoyed it, and you can see what I have to say about it on July 10th’s daily horror digest.


The following four movies were released on Tuesday, July 8th. Take a look at our previous announcement article for trailers, descriptions, and links to watch. Links below lead to daily digests in which I briefly give my thoughts on the movie linked.
