Netflix launches Zomvivor, a Thai horror series that combines zombies, teen drama, and psychological suspense. The series will soon be available in Italy, with original Thai audio and English subtitles (and in some regions, Italian).
The plot revolves around a Thai university where a mysterious virus turns students into zombies. The campus goes into lockdown, and the survivors must fight for their lives, facing not only the undead but also tensions among themselves. According to Wired Italy, the zombies in Zomvivor are particularly eerie: they seem to have a "collective mind," making the threat more original compared to traditional zombies.
The series consists of 7 episodes and blends splatter horror, teenage conflicts, and family secrets, with partially "handcrafted" special effects that enhance the realism of the most gruesome scenes. Producers and fans are already hoping for a second season, given the positive reception in Thailand.
Zomvivor is a must-watch for those seeking a fresh, Asian perspective on the zombie genre, far from Hollywood clichés.
