Wyrmwood: Apocalypse

Six years after 'Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead', Kiah Roache-Turner returns as director for this sequel. The weirdness (and uniqueness) of this comedy horror franchise continues.

'Wyrmwood: Apocalypse' follows directly on 'Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead', so best to watch the first film prior to 'Apocalypse'. This film has better cinematography and better visuals. It is also weirder and funnier. And our hero, Rhys (Luke McKenzie) is mighty sexy!

After delivering a hybrid zombie to a group of ruthless people, Rhys then captures her sister and deliver her as well. However, realizing they will treat the normal sister like the rest of the hybrids, he risks his life to save her. Together with a handful of survivors they search for a cure for the zombie infection.

'Wyrmwood: Apocalypse' is not as bloody and gory as 'Road of the Dead', and has a lot more action. The film also has a very good score. This is once again a unique addition to the zombie genre.

Please watch the First one before watching this one. Honestly I loved it, cheezy AF and that to me is good for a Zombie flick. The Bad Guy Doctor toally reminds me of how Jim Carry plays Dr. Eggman in Sonic The Hedgehog. I swear though there was supposed to be a series for Wyrmwood. Not sure what happened there.

I don't remember well the first WYRMWOOD movie, however i gave a 7,1/10 rating, therefore i must have liked it very much when i watched it. 7,1/10 is a pretty high rating for a comedy horror movie, in my books.

I rated this lower but that doesn't mean much. Wyrmwood: Apocalypse is solid. I wouldn't call it exactly a comedy/horror movie like its predecessor, but it does not take itself too serious. There are some funny scenes and it's definitely enjoyable.

There are MAD MAX influences. It's not a groundbreaking movie, neither much intense. If you wanna watch a movie that will make your heart beat faster, drowning in agony, this is not it. Not great but still a good movie of this genre.

Likeable characters, satisfying ending. I was entertained.

Geared up with the same playful exuberance of it's predecessor, Wyrmwood: Apocalypse boast some wild photography, gleefully crafted gore and some truely brilliant set pieces. But sadly lacks the charm and humour that helped make the first film what it was.

Protagonists of the original were sidelined and replaced for a great deal of the movie, but any new characters where given very little development. Too little to be fully invested in their archs as a whole. Which is a shame as there are some amazing new characters played by some truely talented actors.

That being said, I liked what I saw, it was a massive amount of fun and I will be watching out for more!

Finally a zombie movie with some brains! From the writers that is!! Smart people knowing what to do and how to take advantage of the situation! Love it! Very exciting!
