I never had to see a zombie movie so bad in my life

Wyrmwood

So, thinking I’ll give this Australian zombie movie a crack...

[mouseheart]

The world ends in Australia. As usual.

Mad Max meets Dawn of the Dead? More like Night of the Comet meets Crocodile Dundee. Wyrmwood is a handy little Australian zombie flick that manages to add something to a moribund genre, in the same way that, say, Stakeland did with the vampire film. It's less bleak than Stakeland, with a streak of bone dry and night black humour running through it, bit is equally  free and easy with the bodycount, seeming to sometimes have characters engaged in a baton passing relay as to who makes it across the finishing line. Like Stakeland, or indeed 1985's Day of  the Dead, sinister authority structures are as much of a threat as the undead, and there are two plot threads running in parallel for most of the film: Jay Gallagher's Barry on his way to find/rescue his sister Brooke (Bianca Bradey, who has been abducted by a sinister and deeply and ostentatiously bonkers scientist). Thus, Barry must negotiate unforeseen technological breakdown in the wake of the comet shower that reanimated the dead, zombies, and his own emotional trauma after having to kill his infected wife and daughter. At the same time, Brooke spends most of her time chained to a wall being experimented on- the latter strand could have been a gloating,   piece of misogynist pseudo-porn, and indeed it does make for tense and uncomfortable viewing. However, as Brooke is, in addition to being helpless and terrified, deeply gutsy, resourceful and unflinchingly ruthless, it's OK in context. Throw in a lead role for an Aboriginal actor (Leon Burchill), the aforementioned humour and flashes of genuine pathos which paints some of the characters with stories beyond their guest appearance in this one, and all concerned can give themselves a pat on the back.

IMDB posits a Wyrmwood 2, which is more enticing than the thought of yet another found footage  effort with 'Paranormal' in the title appearing in the horror section of HMV....

Oh my God. This movie. Absolutely perfect, hilarious, dark humor, genuinely scary moments, and most importantly of all, competent protagonists. Watch it. It's original and doesn't cash in on zombie cliches.
