Where to watch Watusi Zombie on streaming
Watusi Zombie, which is made by a crew of talented Gen Z youths, made its online debut on New Year’s Eve. You can watch the nearly 1-hour film with English subtitles for free on YouTube. With its quirky title and quirkier storyline, Watusi Zombie is unlike anything you would ordinarily come across in Malayalam cinema. And the fact that the entire crew is below the age of 25 makes it even more remarkable.
What is the plot of Watusi Zombie
The film Watusi Zombie opens with a podcast show ‘The Noise’ as the host talks about a book by Betty Jacob on the five interesting people. Grindset Gabriel, a standup comedian, who is also featured in the book, shares his anecdotes during the show. And the film seamlessly travels back and forth in timeline.
The film is also written by director Cyril Abraham Dennis, and the conversations and the scenarios flow seamlessly even though it doesn’t follow a pattern the Malayali audiences are used to seeing. Though a unique and one-of-a-kind attempt, Watusi Zombie does announce the arrival of new-age filmmaking.

Abdul Ahad plays the lead role of Gabriel, while Varun Gokul is seen as Betty Jacob and Ananatha Krishnan is seen as the podcast host.
