Undescribable Perfection

Absolutely Fantastic

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

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

During a massive zombie apocalypse, a man who lost his family joins up with various other locals who've been affected by the ordeal to try to find a way to save his remaining family from the ravenous creatures as they encounter those attempting to study how the zombies function.This here turned out to be quite an impressive effort. One of the few bright spots for this one is the fact that there's a slew of stellar action scenes throughout here that play up the fun zombie encounters. From the beginning, where the opening shots of the crew retrieving the truck from a horde of creatures starts this out on a high note which includes the enjoyable and rather exciting battle in the suburbs where it attacks the friend in the garage during the photoshoot turning them into zombies as well as the family's battle to get out of their infested neighborhood. That offers this one with plenty to like and enjoy about it during the proper time which offers up plenty of great moments about them navigating out of the house battling the creatures and setting up the other fun encounters here. The inclusion of the government conspiracy saddled amongst the early action scenes gives this a solidly chilling air about it as the series of tests committed against the local abducted woman allows this to feature some creepy moments about their experiments. The idea of the van full of infected roaming around the countryside carrying on these experiments is a notably creepy idea to start with, and the various scenes showcased here offer up a great twist which is paid off with the later half involving the woman who's half-human, half-zombie that is given the especially powerful new powers of being able to control the creatures telepathically which has a lot of quality moments to like here. The idea itself is incredibly clever and unique which allows for more fun action to come in the final half as well. Coupled with the stellar make-up and gore effects on the multitude of zombies shown throughout here, this has more than enough to hold out over the few minor flaws featured. Among the few flaws here is the film's rather obvious lack of explaining anything that's going on. The concept of the billowing gas cloud they emit as being as source of ignitable fuel is a clever touch, maintaining the idea that the space virus is affecting people of a specific blood-type is ingenious and the military group experimenting on the zombies makes sense yet none of these elements are ever brought together to make any kind of cohesive storyline. These are all issues which play a big role in how the story plays out which is what makes it important to understand the different ideas at play here and is instead not even touched on at all. There's also the stinging issue of the low-budget being quite apparent and noticeable in here, offering up plenty of issues from the rather irritating CGI bloodsplatter to the silly costumes and the utterly irritating and frustratingly annoying shaking camera featured in the big action scenes that make it hard to realize what's happening. These here are what really hold it down.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and drug use.

First of all, this movie is a 6.5, not 6 nor 7.Now, for the problems.My main issue with the movie, was the supporting character - That black guy. He was SO freaking annoying, and ruined perfectly dramatic & good moments. This was the first thing that made me lower the rating from 10 to 9.The second thing is the main character. At the beginning, he was relateable as in acted as everyone. He had a daughter & a wife and pretty much a perfect life (from what we see in the beginning). But... Where did the person go? Where did the guy, who wanted to go out with his family go? He was replaced by a "LETS KILL ALL THE ZOMBIES YYAARRGG IM ANGRY" guy, and every time we saw some of the old (and better) guy, with actual emotions and depth, the black guy ruined the damn moment. "Can I finish the beer?" While the MC is crying over their friend. WTF.And the last thing, is the beginning. At first they started it as "So what's your story?" And I guessed they'll give out their stories from the FAR past, not like a day ago when they met. They could have just started out the movie with the MC's story instead of "what's your story" because the MC's story already got us caught with the present.Now, for the good things about the movie.First, you can actually feel the danger and fear (And sometimes even anger) they get from the zombies. They are not all powerful characters and they don't really try to act like it. Secondly, the beginning was beautiful. A man losing everything without being able to kill himself right after he killed his zombified wife & daughter. I expected such depth for the rest of the movie, but alas- I was wrong. The only other time such depth was reached was when the old person got infected in the car.Secondly, the super-human sister brain-controlling zombies sub-story that integrates into the main one is really cool in my opinion.Thirdly, the action is good and interesting, not just BOOM BOOM BOOM. (But of course there's also BOOM BOOM BOOM).And lastly... The ending is so goddamn satisfying. I like this movie. There is much you can improve here, but still.

"Oh sh*t, he wasn't a zombie? No he f*cking wasn't! Is he alright? Is he OK? His head is f*cked!"Are you sick of zombie movies? That's understandable when you look at the amount of zombie movies that flooded the horror landscape recent years. There were some excellent movies that tried to handle the subject in a creative way like "Maggie", "World War Z" and "Dead Within". But most of what I've seen however, was plain bad and not really innovative. Instead those movies transformed me in a zombie-like appearance while watching at the screen in an empathic way. "Buck Wild" is an example of this. Is "Wyrmwood" groundbreaking? Nope. Is "Wyrmwood" different than other zombie films? No, actually not. Is it more shocking than other movies with those flesh-eating, bloodthirsty undead? No. The million-dollar question is : Is it worthwhile to watch it? And my resounding and enthusiastic answer to that is "YES". It's not as if this sub-genre is reinvented here, but this is a splatter film of the first rank. A roller-coaster through zombie land full of unrestrained gory scenes, ruthless massacres and with sometimes absurd and tasteful humorous contributions. All this taking place in the bushes of Australia: That's why it feels like a version of "Mad Max" mixed with the "over the top" absurd, madcap humor of "Evil Dead 2". From the first second I knew this was going to be a storm flood of flying limbs and helpless victims brutally butchered by blood-soaked, slow moving creatures. The group of men who tried to drag a jeep inside at the beginning dressed as post apocalyptic warriors, looked as if they had played in "Mad Max: Fury Road". And the horde of zombies looked frightening (I was about to say "lifelike").The part in Brooke's (Bianca Bradey) workshop wasn't so great, but from then on it only got better. Brooke is the sister of Barry (Jay Gallagher), who, after killing his turned wife and daughter in an inhuman way, is on a mission to rescue and save his sister out of the hands of a crazy scientist. Expect a splatter-fest of exploding zombie heads and unabashedly tearing apart of bodies. And this interspersed with absurd, hilarious moments. The zombies are highly flammable and when properly installed they can be used to drive vehicles: This was an extremely inventive approach. And the gift Brooke has in the end to make life (uh, yeah) difficult for those damn zombies, was highly entertaining. I am convinced that those who have written this script, were amazed by the fact they could come up with stuff like that.So, you are a huge fan of this type of film and you're a little bit tired of the soft, romanticized approach? You certainly can't skip this one. It has been a while since I saw such an energetic and enthusiastic homemade zombie flick. It's a low-budget movie and was made over a period of three years during the weekends. But it exudes passion. The only thing missing was a mad, bloodthirsty kangaroo. In my opinion, Australia is the new source of great horror films.More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT
