Wyrmwood: Apocalypse

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.

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.

RATED 7/10 Language: English

The sequel plot is not original like the first one. But the action and gore factor is par with the first part. The zombie gore and action blocks are unique for this movie and enjoyable one.

Must watch for Zombie lovers...

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!

In the outback of Australia, Corporal Rhys (Luke McKenzie) is a soldier that captures survivors to the bunker where the Surgeon General (Nick Boshier) performs research, expecting he finds a cure for the infected population. He lives in a small compound using energy generated by zombies and uses pills to keep him safe. When he stumbles upon the vehicle of the Aboriginal sisters Maxi (Shantae Barnes-Cowan) and Grace (Tasia Zalar), he captures Grace, finds that she is a hybrid and delivers her of the Surgeon General. However, he does not know the real agenda of the Surgeon General and his Colonel (Jake Ryan). Then he captures Maxi and when he is going to deliver her to the Colonel, Rhys hears the comment of a fellow soldier and immediately rescues Maxi. However, the Colonel and two soldiers follow his car and captures Rhys. He is left tied up to be eaten by a horde of zombies, but Brooke (Bianca Bradey) saves him controlling the zombies and he is brought to meet her brother Barry (Jay Gallagher) and Maxi. Soon Rhys learns the truth about the research of the Surgeon General, his pills and the fate of the survivors, and teams-up with his saviors to fight the evil Doctors and soldiers.

"Wyrmwood: Apocalypse" is an entertaining sequel of "Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead" (2014). Maxi and Grace, for example, are Benny's nephews and Brooke now is more violent. The insane General Surgeon repeats the insane attitudes of the Doctor in the previous film. The plot is full of action and gore, and the conclusion prepares the viewers for a next sequel. Looking forward to watching the possible sequel. My vote is six.
