Great Film overall
... View MoreIt's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
... View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
... View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
... View MoreI hadn't heard of this film when I watched it so had no expectations, but I'm glad I gave it a go as the cast and director have delivered a real treat.This is the story of Barry and his sister Brooke, battling Zombies and the military in the Australian Bush.It was only at the end I realised I had no real idea of why the zombies had arrived or why the military were acting the way they were, but this lack of exposition actually made the film a more enjoyable experience, leaving me to enjoy the visuals all the more.And for me the look and feel of this film is what makes it a cut above most other low budget zombie films out there.It owes a lot to mad Max in feel, but manages to be it's own story.One of my pet hates in Zombie films is wooden acting,but here the cast really deliver. I liked the lead characters and wanted to know more.I'm not a fan of CGI effects when you can notice them and that was the case here with some of the blood but that is just a small thing and may have been down to budget and timeAll in all though this was a fun ride and I do hope we I get to see more of Barry and Brooke.
... View MoreNo spoilers here, just don't waste your time with this movie, I read the reviews and was like maybe this will be a good movie, nope I was wrong. I'm pretty sure these reviews are stacked for this film. It was trash, stupid and made no sense, They tried to rip off mad max which failed, tried to be comedic, failed. The only plus about this movie is that the actress who plays Brooke is smoking hot.
... View MoreWhat is wrong with Australian horror films lately. They used to be so good with movies like Wolf Creek or the more recent The Babadook. Now recently I have seen the nature gone wild/ killer dog genre completely flubbed by the narcoleptic The Pack and have just suffered through the even worse and more childish Wyrmwood.The premise of Wyrmwood (and no the name has nothing to do with the movie from all I can tell) is simply that a few extras from the latest Mad Max film ran off with a couple of vehicles while in costume and hired the backup zombies from a Michael Jackson's Thriller revival stage show and made a movie. I am making up a plot because the movie could barely be bothered to provide one for me. (Meteors, people without A- blood become poorly dressed extras, man looking for his sister.) Seriously the film has no common sense. If A happens then B should be the result is a premise that seems completely alien to the filmmakers.The acting is okay considering how little they have to work with. The camera work tries to be all impressive but comes across like that guy at a party who keeps telling jokes over everyone's conversations in the hopes someone will like him. If the plot was any more generic it would be sold at the dollar store with a poorly drawn copyright infringing a cartoon character on its front. Note to Australian filmmakers. Stop trying to be Peter Jackson. Also if you are going to go to all the trouble to rent camera equipment and hire actors why not write a story down and film that.
... View MoreI tried 3 times to watch this movie and I could never make it through. I'm writing this right after the 3rd attempt. I like the ideas, the humor, the actors... but this movie is just yet another shaky-cam vomit ride.I suppose they are covering up for being unable to frame shots decently... Whole groups of modern directors seem to think that shaking the camera around is somehow a good idea.Sorry - but it's not fast or dynamic. It just induces seasickness and makes it look like you don't know how to use your camera gear.
