Operation Undead, a 2024 Thai zombie film by Kongkiat Komesiri, reinvents the genre by setting the action during World War II. The story revolves around Thai junior soldiers who must face a zombie outbreak, caused by invading Japanese troops' biological weapon. Unlike typical zombies, these undead retain their memories and emotions, creating a tragic narrative as they grapple with their actions. Komesiri’s film thoughtfully explores themes of war atrocities and societal collapse, effectively breathing new life into the zombie genre while maintaining thrilling horror elements.
These zombies can speak and use tools, struggling with their memories and emotions, which adds a layer of tragedy to their hunger for flesh.
Komesiri immerses the audience in the teenage antics of junior soldiers before quickly doubling down on the horror of the zombie outbreak.
