Wyrmwood: Apocalypse

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!

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...

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.

Title (Brazil): Not Available.

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.

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.
