S.O.Z: Soldiers or Zombies (Season 1)

S.O.Z: Soldiers or Zombies (2021) is a Mexican genre mash-up you can watch online on iFILM — part narco thriller, part zombie horror, directed by Rigoberto Castañeda and produced for Amazon Prime Video.

Drug lord Alonso Marroquín breaks out of a maximum-security prison and goes into hiding near the US-Mexico border. The elite Mexican police unit sent to track him down stumbles into something far worse than a cartel: a US military genetic experiment at a nearby base has gone catastrophically wrong, and the soldiers sent to contain it are now something else entirely. Fast, hard-to-kill, and multiplying. The show converges all three forces — fugitive, hunters, and the infected — at the same location and lets chaos take over from there.

Rigoberto Castañeda keeps the episodes tight and the premise gloriously committed to its own absurdity: the zombie genre rarely gets narco co-stars. Stream all episodes of S.O.Z: Soldiers or Zombies online on iFILM.
