What Critics Are Saying About 'Ziam'

Ziam has received mixed reviews since its release on Netflix. Here's a glimpse of what critics are saying:

Screenrant says, "At just over an hour and a half long, Ziam isn't a huge commitment, even if the story crams a lot into this runtime. However, sometimes this is the kind of story that's perfect to throw on during the summer heat when only some good old-fashioned bone-crunching excitement will fit the bill. Ziam won't break your heart or take your breath away, but it will provide a few hours of enjoyment and well-crafted action; just don't expect too strong a story."

Ready Steady Cut says, "Ziam is both depth and risk-averse and doesn’t have the kind of genre-defining action it’d really need to excuse those things. But as I intimated at the top, it is fun to see someone Muay Thai zombies to a second death, and that’s the vast majority of the movie. Mileage may vary, and expectations should be tempered, but if you go in with the right attitude, you’ll probably have a pretty good time." Scariest Horror Movies of All-Time: From Exorcist To Get Out, 5 Movies That Are Scary As Hell.

Paste Magazine says, "Indeed, the truly ideal way to consume Ziam would no doubt be in a theater rather than sitting at home, as part of a crowd full of hooting genre movie geeks ready to indulge in a little good-spirited stupidity. But whether you’re couchbound or attending a midnight screening, Ziam delivers just enough comforting genre delight to surpass the B-movie median–and for streaming horror geeks, that’s all we ultimately need to hear."

Whether you're a die-hard zombie movie fan or just in the mood for a fast-paced, blood-splattered thrill ride, Ziam offers an entertaining, if imperfect, escape. With solid action choreography, a fun premise, and just the right amount of genre self-awareness, this Thai horror-action mash-up is worth a stream.
