In recent years, the glut of zombie movies released globally has seen the genre return to its roots, weaving political subtext into tales of shuffling hordes ripping the living to pieces. Director Kulp Kaljareuk embraces this approach with his latest feature, “Ziam,” a high-octane, Muay Thai-infused hybrid that blends themes of global apocalypse, food shortages, and authoritarian rule. Now streaming on Netflix, it presents a compelling fusion of action and horror set in a dystopian Thailand.

While most of the world spends this weekend going to see James Gunn’s Superman up on the big screen, you might want to instead cozy up with some new horror movies. And you’d be in luck, because nine brand new ones have released at home and in theaters this week.

Here’s all the new horror that released from July 7 – July 11, 2025!

David Cronenberg’s new movie The Shrouds received a limited theatrical release from Sideshow and Janus Films back in April, and it’s finally now available at home.

You can rent The Shrouds on VOD or stream exclusively on The Criterion Channel.

“In an eerie, deceptively placid near-future, a techno-entrepreneur named Karsh (Vincent Cassel) has developed a new software that will allow the bereaved to bear witness to the gradual decay of loved ones dead and buried in the earth.

In the not-so-recent history of movies, there’s been a growing curiosity—and even admiration—for what we might call the ‘silent action’ film. These are often dismissed outright: high-octane montage reels with a clear-cut hero and villain, strung together by a plot so thin it barely qualifies as narrative. But when approached through the broader lens of action cinema history, these films become fascinating case studies. They lay bare the tropes, clichés, and, occasionally, the surprising nuances of the genre’s storytelling language. Only two years ago, Nikhil Nagesh Bhat’s “Kill” drew all the right attention for weaponizing its seemingly generic ‘Ddlj-on-a-train’ plot into one of the most viscerally charged martial arts rampages in recent Indian cinema.

While I’m not deeply familiar with the history of Muay Thai in Thai cinema, the sheer volume and delivery of action in “Ziam” (2025) reminded me of what “Kill” pulled off.

The first act of the Netflix horror thriller, Ziam, suggests that the zombie outbreak was likely caused by a contaminated fish. The opening voiceover of the film revealed that the melted glaciers in the polar regions had exposed the world’s oceans to a deadly bacteria that led to the death of millions of fish. In the very next sequence, we saw some men, working for a food industrialist, Mr. Vasu, CEO of the Vs Corporation, taking out crates of fish from a washed-out vessel. It could be possible that this shipping vessel went into the ocean before water receded from the shores and caught the fish, which was already poisoned by the bacteria. Meanwhile, Mr. Vasu, who was quite a wealthy and well-connected individual in Thailand, got his hands on this vessel and arranged for men to unload its cargo so he could sell the fish for a hefty sum of money.

Netflix has released Ziam, a Thai-produced film offering a distinct cultural take on the action-horror genre. The movie blends a classic zombie apocalypse narrative with the national martial art of Muay Thai. This fusion is embedded in the film’s title, a portmanteau of “Siam,” the historic name for Thailand, and a “Z” for zombie, symbolizing the undead invasion.

A Desperate Siege

Set against the backdrop of a world grappling with severe food shortages, the story follows Singh, a former professional Muay Thai boxer played by Mark-Prin Suparat. Singh’s plans for a quiet retirement are destroyed when a zombie outbreak engulfs the hospital where his girlfriend, Rin, a doctor portrayed by Nuttanicha Dungwattanawanich, is working. Trapped within the besieged medical facility, Singh must use his fighting skills to protect Rin and a young boy named Buddy (Vayla Wanvayla Boonnithipaisit) whom he finds amidst the chaos. The plot unfolds as a claustrophobic siege,...

Fighting zombies with your bare hands feels especially dangerous in an outbreak, yet a Muay Thai fighter does just that for the sake of love in the new trailer for the Netflix film Ziam.

Netflix Thailand’s first action-zombie film debuts on the streaming service on July 9, 2025.

As for the plot, “In a world gripped by food shortages, a tenacious Muay Thai boxer battles a zombie outbreak inside a hospital to save his lover from the jaws of death.”

Mark-Prin Suparat stars as Singh, the former professional Muay Thai fighter willing to take on hordes with his bare hands. Nychaa-Nuttanicha Dungwattanawanich, Vayla-Wanvayla Boonnithipaisit, Johnny Anfone, Pimmada Borriruksupakorn, and Jason Young also star.

Kulp Kaljareuk directs from a script by Nut Nualpang, Weerasu Worrapot, Vatanyu Ingkavivat, and Chonnatee Pimnam.

“We’ve all seen many zombie movies, but we rarely see zombies involved in hand-to-hand combat or boxing. We wanted to explore...

The zombie has been a horror staple for decades, but the undead may finally have met their match in the form of a Muay Thai fighter who finds himself battling his way through the hordes to save his girlfriend. Thus reads the thrilling elevator pitch for a new Netflix action horror series, with the streamer having now unleashed the brutal and bloody first trailer.

Combining dystopian horror, martial arts spectacle, zombie terror, brutal action, and a love story like the four fingers and the thumb of a perfectly timed fist to the face, the series promises to deliver something quite unique as it mashes together tropes from both the horror and martial arts genres. The series drops audiences into a world gripped by food shortages and follows a tenacious Muay-Thai boxer as he battles a zombie outbreak inside a hospital to save his lover from the jaws of death.

The series is titled Ziam,...

Kaimook orchestrates an intricate revenge plot filled with betrayals and power plays. Phupat and Mawin's feud distracts viewers from Kaimook's master plan. A dramatic showdown reveals Kaimook's machinations and the fate of the wealthy family.

Netflix has always seemed to have a keen eye when it comes to international selections and its latest drama a Thai production is no different. Created by producer-director-writer Kulp Kaljareuk, Master of the House comes across as more sadistic than any series youve probably already seen in this class-clashing genre. The seven-episode limited series which premiered on July 18th will easily shock American audiences with every entry. In the first episode alone, there is a surprise marriage between the patriarch Rungroj and the housekeeper Kaimook. In the usual jaw-dropping fashion though, things go awry when the very same senior figure mysteriously dies just a few minutes later.

Before the viewer can even ask questions about...

Master Of The House features a talented all-Thai cast, including well-known actors and breakout stars in compelling roles. The show is available in multiple languages, making it accessible to a wider audience despite its Thai origins. While the narrative may not lead to a second season, viewers can still enjoy the mind-twisting drama on Netflix since July 18, 2024.

This post contains mentions of sexual assault and domestic violence.

Netflix's Master Of The House is a Thai drama featuring an all-Thai cast. Several actors from the cast are well-known for starring in Thai dramas, such as Narilya Gulmongkolpech, Chartayodom Hiranyasthiti, and Claudia Chakrabandhu Na Ayudhya. However, other cast members, such as Nathakorn Traikitsyavet and Nuttanan Kunpat, are lesser known. In some instances, Master Of The House is the actor's breakout role, which is the case for Thitinan Rattanathithtinan. The show is a mind-twisting, compelling narrative perfectly portrayed by the various cast members.

Bifan has established itself as one of the most significant festivals in Asia regarding the genre cinema of the region, with their program always being quite interesting through its focus on Korean cinema firstly and then of Japan and the rest of the region, along with a number of international titles. As such, the fact that the local industry is in trouble was more than evident this year, when genre movies in particular suffered, mostly due to issues with writing and also due to financial ones. It is true that Korea's top filmmakers are at the top of the world, but it has become obvious that below that level, the quality drops significantly.

Nevertheless, the aforementioned does not mean that the programs was without a number of gems. “Iron Mask” about a kendo athlete carrying a trauma, “Her Hobby” with its transition from a family drama to a horror and...

That playing games has become a proper profession, with people actually competing against each other in arenas filled with audiences, is a fact that has been going on for years.
