UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
dakotaleon 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
The Couchpotatoes Let's face it, a zombie movie is not something extraordinary anymore. There are tons of those movies now and even series. A lot of bad movies, or milked series like The Walking Dead. Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead on the other hand is an enjoyable to watch zombie movie. With the right dosage of humor. The mixture of humor and gore works very well in this movie. The zombies are freaky and fast, not slow like in The Walking Dead. So for that it definitely adds to the suspense. The story is of course what it is. I never expect much when it is about this subject. That's not why you watch a zombie movie. I never got bored and I laughed enough to make Wyrmwood a refreshing movie in this genre.
Tina Willis Within the first two minutes of the movie, I saw dozens of zombies being blown away by rustic-armor clad humans, with guns, pipes, chains and a double barreled shot gun. And I thought to myself......"Whoooweeeee. Finally!!" There are phenomenally created zombies shown with nice close up views of them AND in slow motion! No stupid tricks here to try and fool the audience into thinking anyone on set did quality, creative, professional work. None of that too-shaky camera syndrome and swift pass overs or dark settings that are typical of so many crappy zombie films of today. Then within 13 minutes, and most of it spent on some pretty decently edited realistic and clever fight/kill scenes...the film makers threw in a bit of humor. And I thought again to myself. "Yeaaaaahhhh Baby!" It's like someone knows EXACTLY the "odd" mix of entertainment I find irresistible in an apocalyptic movie and made one just for me..... I think I was feeling a bit giddy by that point. Honestly now, there are some night scenes but you can SEE. My point is the quality of this flick was obvious right from the beginning on up until the end. Then 20 minutes in (The story and pace is fast and exciting) there was a significant twist within the genera introduced. Different, but creative and believable. There were a few times the blood looked hot saucey/ketchupy, but on the whole, gore effects were top notch. With in this same 20 minute time frame, a good look at what the acting would be like thru out the movie revealed the same quality and attention to detail that the previous 20 minutes had exhibited on all levels. The characters were presented with complexity and diversity. The camera work was creatively very well done. I noticed a few editing slips, but nothing that made me lose focus on the entertaining journey I was on. Score appropriate and complimented scenes well without overwhelming them. With all of this in the first 20 minutes, what else do you need? A written invitation? Well, here ya have it. This movie busted outta the starting gate at full speed, top notch high octane quality, so If you like zombie and/or post apocalyptic films, do yourself a favor and don't miss this one. If you are like me and have sat thru sub par movies of this genera, just to get your zombie/apocalyptic fix, you will be as thrilled as I was with this one. It is truly a gem.
matt-sickle I 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.
