Ziam is a 2025 Thai action-horror film directed by Kulp Kaljareuk, set in a world collapsing under starvation where a Muay Thai fighter must battle through waves of the undead to protect the person he loves. Tense, brutal, and propelled by genuine martial-arts choreography, it runs 95 minutes.
What is Ziam about?
The world has fractured under a catastrophic famine. As social order breaks down, clusters of the desperate and starving begin to turn — reanimated, driven by a primal hunger that makes them something far worse than criminals. Amid this collapse, a skilled Muay Thai practitioner finds himself cut off from safety and separated from the woman closest to him. With no weapons beyond his fists, elbows, and knees — and the discipline carved into him by years of ring training — he pushes through overrun streets and crumbling shelters. Every corridor is a gauntlet. Every breath might be his last. The film tracks his relentless drive forward, using the raw physicality of Muay Thai as both a survival tool and an emotional anchor, as the fighter refuses to accept a world in which she is gone.
Cast & crew
Director Kulp Kaljareuk brings a kinetic visual style to the genre, staging Muay Thai sequences with ring-trained authenticity. Lead Prin Suparat carries the physical demands of the role convincingly, while Nuttanicha Dungwattanawanich grounds the emotional stakes as the woman he fights to reach. The ensemble — including Wanvayla Boonnithipaisit, Johnny Anfone, and Jason Young — fills out a cast that keeps the human drama credible even within the chaos of the zombie outbreak.
Context & significance
Thai genre cinema has gained serious international momentum over the past decade, and Ziam fits squarely into that wave — pairing the country's globally recognized Muay Thai heritage with the zombie-survival format that diaspora audiences already know and love. For Persian-speaking viewers abroad, this is a rare chance to watch a non-Western zombie film that foregrounds a distinct fighting culture, delivered in Persian dub so nothing is lost in the tension. The film's 2025 release makes it one of the fresher entries in the genre, and its famine-as-catalyst premise gives it a distinctly modern edge over standard undead narratives. A strong pick for fans of action-heavy horror from outside Hollywood.
