Wyrmwood: Apocalypse

What I enjoyed about the first movie was the ability to mix the zombie horror genre with comedy and it worked just great. It was not a masterpiece, but a nice and funny film. The sequel takes itself way too seriously and to be honest it feels almost nonsensical at all. Basically they threw away the winning formula and tried to do something completely different, however "Wyrmwood" was never supposed to be like that. There are a couple of good moments, but for the rest action sequences look lazy and predictable. CGI is not so great, but I can give it a pass, considering that these movies do not have a big budget. I think that focusing more on practical effects was the right choice and the final result would be a bit better. Characters were pretty much boring and forgettable. The cast is very cringey and obviously these actors don't know how to act. The villain was insufferable, I hated every single moment that he was on screen. To be honest I cannot find many positives in this sequel and it is perfectly avoidable. Personally I was perfectly content with the original one and did not feel the need for another installment, especially after so many years.

Basically picks up right where Wrymwood: Road of the Dead (2014) left off and feels like just a solid continuation of the same post-apocalyptic zombie story. Equally as gorey, corny, well-shot, action-packed, and even more over the top.

If Road of the Dead was similar to Evil Dead, this is Evil Dead 2.

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.

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.

Wyrmwood: Apocalypse was a big disappointment for me. After how much fun and creativity the first film had, I was expecting something equally wild, but this sequel just didn't deliver. The story felt messy and confusing, and the main characters from the first movie hardly appeared, which made it feel disconnected. Instead of being thrilling, it dragged on and even made me sleepy at times. Sadly, it lacked the energy and originality that made the original such a cult hit. My rating: 5/10.
