Review: I should have followed my first instinct of not going to see this movie at the Munich Fantasy Filmfest Nights 2015. I feared it would be as cheap as The 25th Reich, another Australian production I saw last year, while in fact it looks much better but tells an empty story that does not bring anything to the Zombie genre. There are so many zombie movies (and TV-series) nowadays and so few good ones, from the top of my head I would name only Shaun of the Dead, 28 days later, Dawn of the Dead and the segment A Ride in the Park of the VHS 2 anthology. The only good ideas in Wyrmwood is that petrol is of no use and the main characters' car runs on zombie breath! That brought one or two laughs, but that's all.
