Netflix's new horror-thriller titled 'Betaal' is a chilling story of police officials who unintentionally unearth an old curse along with an army of British soldier zombies. The officials were tasked with displacing natives of a forest to elsewhere in order to make way for a new highway. During their quest, the officers end up learning too much about the curses in Indian mythology. The official synopsis reads, "A remote village becomes the theatre of a breathless battle when a two-century-old Betaal, a British Indian Army officer, and his battalion of zombie redcoats are unleashed. With Indian police pitted against the undead army, hapless villagers are trapped in a horrific, edge-of-your-seat conflict."
