OTT Horror Highlight: ‘Ziam’ — A Disturbing Zombie Thriller You Shouldn’t Watch with Kids

Zombie thrillers have long had a cult following, but the latest addition to the genre is pushing boundaries like never before. Ziam, a chilling survival-horror film set in Thailand, has taken the OTT world by storm since its release. Debuting last Friday, the film has consistently remained in the Top Trending list for over three days, garnering widespread attention for its intense action, emotional depth, and disturbing visuals.

Unlike traditional zombie flicks, Ziam blends environmental horror, emotional storytelling, and non-stop action into a powerful cinematic experience. The story unfolds in a world plagued by food shortages and climate disasters. Amid this chaos, Singh, a former fighter, now works as a delivery driver, while his girlfriend Rin Prachamit serves as a doctor at a local hospital.

Trouble escalates when a deadly virus—released from melting polar ice—spreads across the region, turning people into flesh-eating zombies. As the epidemic spreads rapidly, Singh rushes to the hospital to save Rin. What follows is a brutal and emotional battle for survival against not only the undead but also time, as the government prepares to bomb the hospital to contain the outbreak.

With high-octane action, emotional stakes, and graphic horror, Ziam stands out as a must-watch for zombie movie lovers. However, due to its intense violence, bloodshed, and dark themes, it’s strongly advised not to watch it with children.

From Flop to Fearsome: Heretic Becomes a Horror Hit on OTT!

It Crashed in Theaters… Now It’s Shaking Up OTT! Watch Alone, If You Dare.

Horror fans, brace yourselves — Heretic is back and making serious noise on OTT after a modest theatrical run. While it may not have impressed everyone in cinemas, it’s become a surprise sensation in the streaming world. If you dare to watch it alone, prepare for an unforgettable horror ride.

OTT platforms are no strangers to horror. Each Friday, a slew of new releases drops across genres, but horror always commands a loyal audience. Whether it’s fresh releases or cult classics making a comeback, viewers are always hungry for a good scare — and Heretic delivers just that, and more.

Produced on a massive budget of ₹50 crore, Heretic combines psychological terror, philosophical conflict, and religious horror in a way rarely seen before. The film is now trending on Max, drawing in audiences with its disturbing premise and edge-of-the-seat storytelling.

The Plot:

The story follows two young Mormon missionaries — Sister Burns (Sophie Thatcher) and Sister Pike (Chloe East) — as they go door-to-door spreading their faith. Their routine is shattered when they meet Mr. Reed (played chillingly by Hugh Grant), a seemingly curious man who lures them in under the guise of religious conversation.

Soon, things take a terrifying turn. Mr. Reed is no ordinary man — he is a religious fanatic with a dark, twisted mind. He kidnaps the missionaries and subjects them to a horrifying psychological “experiment,” forcing them to participate in a game of life or death. Their beliefs are tested in the most terrifying ways, with Reed making chilling arguments about morality, faith, and salvation.

Every scene builds unbearable tension, pushing the audience deeper into a world where horror meets philosophy. The film dives into the darkest corners of human belief, manipulation, and the cost of blind faith.

Despite its rocky box office start, Heretic eventually grossed ₹177.96 crore worldwide — a testament to the film’s lasting impact and word-of-mouth momentum. On OTT, it’s now finding its true audience — horror fans who appreciate bold, cerebral storytelling.

Anurag Basu Breaks Silence on Aashiqui 3 vs Saiyaara Storyline Rumors

Mohit Suri’s romantic drama Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has defied expectations to become a massive box office hit, inching toward the ₹300 crore mark. With its emotional narrative and powerful performances, the film has caught the attention of both audiences and industry insiders.

However, the film’s unexpected success sparked rumors that another upcoming project—Anurag Basu’s much-anticipated film with Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela, speculated to be Aashiqui 3—features a similar storyline. Social media chatter suggested that both films deal with a heroine suffering from Alzheimer’s and that Basu’s team was now revising the script to avoid overlaps.

Putting the speculation to rest, Basu firmly denied any such changes.

“Mohit and I are close, and I already knew Saiyaara’s story well before its release,” he clarified. “Yes, the heroine in Saiyaara has Alzheimer’s. But in my film, Sreeleela’s character does not have Alzheimer’s or any related condition. There is no rewriting or reshooting happening.”

He also confirmed that while the project was initially aiming for a Diwali 2025 release, it has now been postponed to 2026.

“We’ve completed about 40% of the shoot. The next schedules are planned for August or September, depending on Kartik Aaryan’s availability. He’s currently busy filming Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri,” Basu shared.

With the remaining shoot scheduled to resume soon, fans can expect more updates as the production progresses.
