phancy.com rating:

phancy.com notes: I was so bored, I almost didn't finish it. I had low expectations: Muy Thai vs zombies. I was still disappointed. Everything single beat of the story is a cliché, and there is no development behind any of it. Our hero barely has any lines. Hell, there's hardly any substantial dialogue at all. The entire things is a series of unearned moments, with tons of long closeups in slow motion, layered with overpowering music to try and eke the idea of some emotion out of an otherwise inert scene. There is nothing in this movie you haven't seen before in a better movie, which is impressive for how much backstory and worldbuilding there is for a story that's esentially "escape from the hospital of zombies."


Outside Reviews:

Grade: 6.2 out of 10 - Ziam Certainly Does Punch Some Zombies in The Face

Ziam even attempts to make sweeping, emotional gestures now and then, though they're hamstrung to some degree by familiarity, and it doesn't pay to act as if the intended audience is truly interested in much more than the film delivering on the simplicity of its "muay thai vs. zombies" premise. 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.
