Zepotha (1987)

If you picked up your phone, opened Google and typed in “Zepotha (1987)”, I’m sorry to tell you, my friend, but you’ve been fooled!

In the last few days, the movie Zepotha has become one of the most talked about movies on Tiktok. A flood of comments saying “you look like X character from Zepotha” has emerged.

However, as expected, many creators who received these comments started posting videos asking for information about this movie, because when they searched on Google, there were no results.

But what the hell kind of movie is this?

The Lore of Zepotha (1987)

According to videos, fan art and comments, Zepotha is a very popular indie film released almost 40 years ago.

Many people point to this as their favorite film when they were kids. Others say that the film deserves more recognition. Some users claim to have “rewatched the film recently on Netflix.”

But when you open your browser and search for the name, surprise, there is nothing on the internet.

According to users, the film was removed from video stores in the past and that is why it is so difficult to find.

Despite having characters constantly mentioned, scenes described as scary/traumatic, drawings and even cosplay of characters, Zepotha is not real.

Yes, the biggest plot twist of this film is that it does not exist, it never existed.

Who Created Zepotha (1987)

Over the weekend, TikToker Emily Jeffri posted a video on her profile suggesting the idea of ​​inventing a horror movie from the 80s and spreading comments across random profiles.

The music playing in the background in Jeffri’s original post is a snippet of her own song “DO YOU REMEMBER ME,” from her album, SOUNDTRACK FOR AN 80’S HORROR MOVIE, set to be released on August 25.

The rest came about with the collaboration of other users on the platform.

With the success of the game, Jeffri launched a competition for people to produce a short film based on the idea of ​​Zepotha and the prize will be £500 (approximately three thousand reais).

This will certainly be a marketing strategy studied in the future!

Soon, Zapotha (1987) should become Zapotha (2023), we can only wait and see what will come of this TikTok phenomenon.
