One of my all time favorites.

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This may have been one of if not the best "B list" movies I've ever seen! The plot twist was unexpected but fit so well and i can't wait for the series to come out

Writer & director Kiah Roache-Turner's horror shocker "Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead" lives up to Empire Magazine's description: "Mad Max Meets Dawn of the Dead." Roache-Turner and his brother Tristan co-wrote this atmospheric, adrenalin-laced, larger-than-life, high-octane hokum that wallows in blood, gore, and more during its lean, mean 98 minutes and keeps you poised on the edge of your seat. Roache-Turner must have seen the entire "Mad Max" franchise because this movie puts on the brakes only occasionally with its slam-bang, self-propelled depiction of the survivors of a zombie holocaust who have almost as much to worry about from the government as they do the zombies infesting the countryside around them. "Wyrmwood" differs from the usual zombie movie because the Roache-Turner brothers have added a wrinkle or two to the genre. The zombies here breath a gaseous haze that enables the humans to use them as a source of energy to fuel their vehicles. Apparently, since life on Earth has taken a turn for the very worst, fossil fuels can no longer make conventional vehicles run. Presumably, everything started one night with lots of falling stars. The filmmakers are never elaborate about all the details that contribute to this confluence of dire events. Furthermore, the heroine of this incredibly entertaining nonsense, becomes a pin-cushion for unethical government experiments, and she mutates into somebody who can exert mind control over zombies and compel them to carry out her commands. "Wyrmwood" also lives up to its road picture origins, too. Roache-Turner delivers some dizzy camera work of cars careening down narrow, two-lane roads through the woods to escape zombies. The sound design bolsters the effect since every time that you see a zombie, it is shrieking like a gutted sow and running in slow-motion. You may seen many zombie movies and have the formula down pat, but "Wyrmwood" tweaks the formula for superb effect. The upgrades that Kiah Roache-Turner delivers makes this light years better than anything "The Walking Dead" has done during its many seasons.Barry (Jay Gallagher) gets up one night when his tweener daughter Meganne (Meganne West) informs him that an intruder is in their kitchen. Barry walks in on the zombie and a life & death fight ensues with the zombie pinning Barry to the floor. Barry's wife Annie (Catherine Terracini) stabs the zombie in the back with a knife but to no effect and then sinks an ax in the thing's spine. Managing to escape from the zombie's death grip, Barry wretches the ax out of his back and lops off the zombie's head. Barry remembers that his sister Brooke (Bianca Bradey) had called him from a nearby town and warned him about the infestation and pleads for him to come rescue her. On the way to the town of Bulla Bulla, Barry's wife and daughter turn into zombies, and he kills them with a nail gun. Afterward, he tries to kill himself with his own nail gun, but he has exhausted his supply of nails. Eventually, Barry hooks up with a garage load of blokes, and they burst out of confinement, running down zombies, and tear off down the road. "Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead" takes zombie movies to another level.

When I started watching Wyrmwood I expected a trashy splatter movie. Which I am not a fan of, but the high rating made me curious. I was in for a good surprise. If you can get past the first few minutes without stopping the movie, you will discover that behind the occasionally gory and rather cheap violence it hides an interesting story, likable characters (even the villains) and some really good acting.I've seen "blockbusters" with more shallow characters than this small 160k $ project. The story features elements of both comedy and horror, reminding me of "The Evil Dead" a bit, but it has its serious moments too.I read that it's the first movie from Director Roache-Turner and I hope to see more like that in the future. Wyrmwood proves that a movie doesn't have to cost a fortune to keep up with famous competitors.

such a fun movie! just the ending is kind of sloppy, not a little, very sloppy. well, still very entertaining, worth my time watching, the ending could be better. And there are many questions re not answered yet, like who those military guys are? what are they doing? why do they take those zombies and humans for tests? what are the lab tests about? is the sister a zombie? a half-zombie? why and how did she have the ability to control the zombies? as a zombie movie, it is very different, very creative. --------------------------------- such a fun movie! just the ending is kind of sloppy, not a little, very sloppy. well, still very entertaining, worth my time watching, the ending could be better.
