I have said before that the zombie subgenre is pretty packed right now. Unless you make something that is so gonzo and amazing that it can’t be denied (say, Train to Busan), you have to do something else to stand out. Wyrmwood, also called Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead, takes this to heart, offering a number of completely new ideas into the zombie world. It’s an inventive screenplay, and because of that, it’s a movie that is hard not to enjoy on some level.
If you aren’t aware right away that this is an Australian film, you’ll be made aware the moment someone speaks. Barry (Jay Gallagher) lives in the outback with his wife Annie (Catherine Terracini) and their daughter Meganne (Megann e West). Barry’s sister Brooke (Bianca Bradey) is a photographer working with an assistant and a model when the model suddenly and unexpectedly zombifies, and, biting the assistant, zombifies her. Brooke manages to climb into the rafters of her studio, keeping herself safe. She calls Barry and tells him what has happened, and soon enough, he and his family are being attacked as well.
