Ziam tries to present itself as a horror experience but falls short in delivering true scares. The cinematography feels bland, lacking creativity in framing and lighting, making even the few tense moments look flat. The horror elements are minimal, with most scenes failing to build genuine suspense or fear, leaning instead on loud sounds and predictable jumps. The VFX are poor, pulling you out of the film rather than immersing you in its world, and the storyline feels cliché, with the same haunted house tropes and a predictable "twist" you see coming from miles away. While there are a few moments that attempt to add atmosphere, they aren't enough to elevate Ziam beyond average. Overall, Ziam is a watchable but forgettable horror film that lacks the craft needed to stand out, best suited for a casual watch if you have nothing else to do.
