Watch Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead For Free

Pretty Good

Crappy film

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

All I can (and all I need) to say is this is well worth watching. I'd avoided it since it came out on DVD simply because of the the front cover. Turns out that is just poor marketing. The film is a traditional zombie film in many ways (unlike the superb Maggie) but it is so much more because it avoids the stereotype story-line while sticking to the genre-standard zombies.I loved it because of the twist in the story-line - it's not a twist-in- the-tail, it's a whole new take on how the story could go. The acting, direction and photography are all pretty much top notch too which surprised me as I though it was a budget potboiler (because of the DVD cover as mentioned before).

Didn't know what to expect from this Australian zombie flick. It was supposed to be a comedy horror but I didn't had a smile on my face. I didn't see any humour. What I did see was a great zombie flick.Made in Australia I couldn't ignore to compare it with Peter Jackson's earlier splatter flicks. Filmed in the same way with wide angles and zoomed in and the explicit gore added this flick is indeed a flick for the gorehounds.After a while I had something like, okay, this I have seen before in this flick and the experiments at the lab are a bit weird but overall it's an excellent gory zombie flick.Gore 4/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 4/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5

WYRMWOOD is a high energy zombie flick from Australia that combines the road movie genre with a classic zombie apocalypse outbreak type horror yarn. It has a little of the verve of VERSUS but in the end I found it quite predictable and a little overwhelming.What's clear from the outset is that this is one step up from being an amateur film. The look of the zombies is cheap, especially with those Halloween party contact lenses, although there's copious gore to help make up for this. The acting is of a generally poor quality, but the film goes for a semi-serious approach so that doesn't matter too much.What WYRMWOOD does offer is action in spades. There's barely any plot, just a handful of characters battling both zombies and some sinister scientists bent on human experimentation. None of it made much sense to me, but the director works hard to infuse his film with vibrancy and momentum, and he does succeed in part.

This, yet another Apocalyptic Zombie Movie, Adds just Enough to the Genre that it Cannot be Dismissed as just another Zombie Movie, but it is.It is another Zombie Movie Coated with Blood and just for good Measure a Second Coat of Blood is added On Top, and then Another. A Clean Space or Two here and there might have Added some much Needed Contrast. But it's not to be. So We're Stuck in the Muck, let's make the Best of what is Here.Stylish, Humorous, and Ultra-Violent Fun is what's Lurking in this Low-Budget Aussie Movie. Style to Burn. Burning a Newly Discovered Fuel is one of the Film's New Twists, and it's a Hoot. The Look of the Movie is High-Gloss CGI and it makes No Apologies for it. In Fact it Wallows in the Digital from Frame One and Never Stops.The Creators must be Given Credit for Their Artistry in the way They go about this Familiar Madness, Searching for Anything to give it an Edge over the Onslaught of Similar Cinema Offerings. Clever and Cool, Gory and Grotesque, this one more than Delivers what it is offering.These Film Folk have a Love and a Knack for this Type. It's Colorful and has an Appeal when by all Rational Thought the Attraction to this should have Faded Long Ago. It Seems These Filmmakers Present, in No Uncertain or Unrestrained Terms, the Zombie Genre is Not Dead.
