The Queen of Black Magic<\/a> and Dancing Village: The Curse<\/a> Begins<\/a> director Kimo Stamboel is back this Halloween season with Netflix\u2019s The Elixir, an Indonesian zombie movie that\u2019s unveiled new images ahead of its release.<\/p>\n

The Elixir releases on Netflix on October 23, 2025.<\/p>\n

In the film, \u201cAn elixir unleashes the undead in a village. A family at odds with one another must unite and fight to survive as their hometown collapses.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Elixir stars Donny Damara, Mikha Tambayong, Eva Celia, Dimas Anggara, Kiki Narendra, and Marthino Lio. Stamboel directs from a script co-written with Agasyah Karim and\u00a0Khalid Kashog.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a zombie outbreak triggered by a traditional Javanese herbal elixir, causing trouble for a fractured family in the new images below.<\/p>\n

\u201cHorror is a proven audience favourite in Thailand and Indonesia. But when it comes to zombie horror, demand has been met by Korean, English, and foreign-language titles,\u201d Malobika Banerji, senior director of content for\u00a0Southeast Asia at Netflix, said recently<\/a> of The Elixir and Thai zombie film Ziam<\/a>. \u201cWith these two films, we wanted to take the thrill of zombies and fuse it with local storytelling, culture, and authenticity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Look for this zombie feature to quietly arrive on Netflix next month. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.<\/p>\n
