Zombie Horror Unleashed: Netflix Southeast Asia Unveils ‘The Elixir’ and ‘Ziam’
Netflix is doubling down on Southeast Asian genre content with two zombie horror films that look to reinvent the subgenre with local flavors.
Stamboel comes with horror credentials, including his work as part of The Mo Brothers directing duo and his recent box office success “Dancing Village: The Curse Begins,” which attracted over four million theatrical viewers. The production marks Netflix’s first use of 3D In-Camera VFX technology for Southeast Asian content, allowing cast and crew to interact with the post-apocalyptic world in real-time rather than against green screens. These zombie projects follow Netflix’s recent Southeast Asian successes, including Indonesia’s female-led action film “The Shadow Strays,” Thailand’s “Hunger” which topped global charts, and the Philippines’ post-apocalyptic drama “Outside.”
