Wyrmwood

Spoilers

Hello, this is Elliott. So, I have a new idea for my blog. I have decided that sometimes I am going to watch a random movie, which is a new kind of concept for me, so nothing that’s in a universe that I already know; like new movies in the MCU or the Star Wars Universe. Okay so this is my random review of Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead.

Okay so I have Amazon Prime and I like zombie stories, therefore, when my mum found this movie on Prime, she recommended me to watch it. To be honest, when I saw it I knew that there was no chance that it would have the great storytelling that The Walking Dead has. And I was right. Although, what I will say is that this is a very fun movie. At first, I just thought ‘Wow this is just bad’, because I was trying to take it too seriously and, at the start, the film itself was trying to take itself too seriously. Which would’ve been okay if it hadn’t have had random bits of comedy in it that weren’t very funny and some ridiculous fast motion direction. In the first 20 minutes, this film didn’t know what it wanted to be. I was questioning what kind of movie it was at first.

However, at around the 20-30 minute mark, this movie realised what it wanted to be; a ridiculous comedy. Which was probably when we properly met Benny, who was just absolutely hilarious and ridiculous all throughout. To be honest- this movie will, in no way be for everyone, but I did personally quite like it.

Another character that I found really ridiculous and stupid was The Scientist. To be honest, I had no idea what he was doing apart from jammin’ like a raver. Okay, okay I’m sorry. But yeah, the scientist was quite funny and the way that he was completely psychotic was cool. Although, the way he died was just one of the most amazing parts of the film. Although, no one could saw off their own hand like that and not scream like hell. Never mind this guy who is clearly extremely weak. I don’t know, I can’t analyse this movie like I can The Walking Dead, because if you did try to do that then you would probably just ruin your whole experience. Because it is terrible, but in the same way, it’s amazing.

Okay, so now to the more serious, main characters. Now, I know I said that you shouldn’t take this film too seriously but you can take these characters more seriously. That actually makes it even funnier, to be honest. Because seeing these characters in the completely dumb situations that they end up in is just funny. Although the whole Brooke being able to control zombies is kinda weird, but cool, I suppose. The surviving the bullet made no sense, whatsoever though. But then again, it’s not a serious film.

So, in conclusion, Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead is a very fun movie. I wouldn’t say that it’s the funniest zombie movie. Which I would say is Shaun of the Dead; a film with gripping storyline but is also hilarious. Although, I will say that it’s good. I enjoyed it a lot and, if you haven’t seen it, I would definitely advise giving it a watch. However, do as I say, go into it expecting something ridiculous and don’t take it too seriously.

I hope that you enjoyed this post.
