Elixir review: Netflix’s unexpected new zombie flick offers a fresh take on a rotting genre

I am, for the most part, kind of over zombie movies. As much as I enjoyed 28 Days Later and inhaled the early seasons of The Walking Dead, the genre is a bit played out at this point. (Even the highly acclaimed 28 Years Later has been gathering dust in my to-watch queue for months.) But Netflix’s new Indonesian zombie flick, The Elixir, managed to subvert my expectations enough to be enjoyable.
