Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead Reviews

Aussie brothers Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner deliver a grimly enjoyable white-knuckle nightmare.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 2, 2021

Wyrmwood is bloody brilliant!

| Dec 8, 2019

Wyrmwood is all about having a kinetic, frenzied, funny, and exciting time at the movies. And it largely achieves that.

| Feb 3, 2019

Wyrmwood is a very satisfying zombie film. It's got plenty of action, plenty of splatter, a story and people who hold our attention. It works on the undead level and as a plain old well-done movie besides.

| Original Score: B | Dec 20, 2018

Wyrmwood is the kind of film that gives me hope for the zombie subgenre- it's clever, hellaciously entertaining and masterfully executed by Roache-Turner, who shows us that you can still find new and exciting ways to fight zombies.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 7, 2016

Feels like three horror comic books jammed together and then re-written by a pair of clever wise-asses.

| Aug 23, 2015

Will really whet the appetites of folks that love their zombie movies blood drenched, action packed, and a with a hint of dark comedy.

| Aug 14, 2015

If you want nothing more than to watch zombies get mowed down in elaborate ways while a bunch of actors shout at each other, Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead certainly offers that. But I'm afraid it doesn't offer much else.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 25, 2015

Inventive DIY horror that harks back to Ozploitation's golden era.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 8, 2015

If you like your zombie movies ultra-violent, ironic and delivered in a power-shower of blood, then Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead will be right up your street.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 7, 2015

Proceeds with more energy than inspiration, liberally splashing ketchup over genre cliches.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 7, 2015

You could do far worse for a boozy Friday night out.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 5, 2015

Despite Wyrmwood never quite matching up to the films it emulates, it's often ingenious, with a passion for the sub-genre that's genuinely infectious.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 4, 2015

Energetic, blood-splattered, immensely fun Aussie zombie flick...Some nice twists spice up the cascade of cliches, including the idea that zombies can be used as an alternative fuel source for cars.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 7, 2015

much of the joy here is in the high-octane mix of weird & wacky tropes. They shouldn't really fit together & probably don't, but they certainly drive the narrative along, juggernaut-like, over any sense of expectation, familiarity or even good taste.

Full Review | Mar 2, 2015

Blissfully light on logic, even by the zombie genre's low standards, the film is held together by a furious hell-for-leather momentum that masks a range of narrative oddities and inconsistencies.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 27, 2015

The Roache-Turners prove to have the right mix of micro-budget filmmaking ingenuity, action sass and undead splatter to make "Wyrmwood" a tastier than usual exploitation nosh.

| Feb 27, 2015

While featuring mucho mayhem, Wyrmwood also takes refreshing liberties with the walking-corpse playbook.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 23, 2015

There's a relentless energy here - in the story, characters and camerawork - and it makes for a wildly enjoyable ride for fans of old-school Jackson, Raimi and the like.

| Original Score: B | Feb 20, 2015

An original vision worth paying attention to, even when it threatens to spiral out of control.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 19, 2015
