The Queen of Black Magic and Dancing Village: The Curse Begins director Kimo Stamboel is back this Halloween season with Netflix’s The Elixir, and the trailer has arrived.
Watch Netflix’s official trailer for Indonesian zombie movie The Elixir below.
The Elixir comes exclusively to Netflix on October 23, 2025.
In the film, “An elixir unleashes the undead in Wanirejo Village. A family at odds with one another must unite and fight to survive as their hometown collapses.”
Mikha Tambayong, Eva Celia, Marthino Lio, Dimas Anggara, Varen Arianda Calief, Ardit Erwandha, and Claresta Taufan star in Kimo Stamboel’s The Elixir.
“Horror 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,” Malobika Banerji, senior director of content for Southeast Asia at Netflix, said recently. “We wanted to take the thrill of zombies and fuse it with local storytelling, culture, and authenticity.”
Kimo Stamboel began his career as one half of the duo known as the Mo Brothers, known for films including Macabre, Killers, and Headshot. Stamboel’s partner was Timo Tjahjanto, whose solo career has also made him a master of Indonesian horror. Tjahjanto’s films include May the Devil Take You, The Night Comes for Us, and recently the Hollywood sequel Nobody 2, while he also directed segments “Safe Haven” and “The Subject” in the franchise.
