There's a streamlined simplicity to "Wyrmwood" that's admirable in an era when too many horror movies get cluttered with subplots and characters who wander into frame merely to be turned into goo. Entertainment Weekly Clark Collis
While featuring mucho mayhem, Wyrmwood also takes refreshing liberties with the walking-corpse playbook. A feeling of foreboding sets in early in Kiah Roache-Turner's zombie-apocalypse thriller Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the hellish subject matter and everything to do with the direction. Slant Magazine Chuck Bowen
The film's skillfulness renders its eventual slide into the routine all the more irritating. NME (New Musical Express) Ben Homewood
Aussie brothers Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner deliver a grimly enjoyable white-knuckle nightmare. Los Angeles Times Robert Abele
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. New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis
Ambulant corpses may be tramping all over our movie and television screens these days, but "Wyrmwood" has enough novelty - and more than enough energy - to best its minuscule budget. Australian filmmakers Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner remind us why we love these bloody movies in the first place, evincing Raimi-esque glee at twisting the rules of zombiehood like so much taffy. Armed with "Mad Max"-like design elements and a good sense of humor, this energetically executed bloodbath marks a promising feature bow for Australian brothers Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner. Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck
Kiah Roache-Turner's zombie movie set in the Australian outback displays enough gonzo elements to please genre fans, with its resemblance to the Mad Max series clearly not coincidental. Behind The Lens Debbie Lynn Elias
Wyrmwood is bloody brilliant! Reeling Reviews Laura Clifford
Kiah Roache-Turner exhibits a real talent for highly charged genre cinema with this gory, world-gone-mad zombie flick, a movie that had me thinking it'd bested the likes of "28 Days Later" until fatigue sets in its latter half. The Dissolve Mike D'Angelo
In the end, despite its quirky twists on the genre, Wyrmwood is just another zombie flick, riffing on its predecessors and hoping that'll suffice. Reeling Reviews Robin Clifford
...a creative piece of filmmaking that should strike a chord with the zombie lovers everywhere. We Got This Covered Matt Donato
Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead leaves the competition choking on its dust (and a few zombie guts), as the Roache-Turner brothers do their Aussie-influences proud in this full-throttle horror debut. Aisle Seat Mike McGranaghan
A no-holds-barred blast of mayhem, perfect for viewers who like their horror straight-up bonkers. Movie Mezzanine Andy Crump
Wyrmwood isn't original, but it's exuberant... Film School Rejects Rob Hunter
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. An original vision worth paying attention to, even when it threatens to spiral out of control. Wyrmwood is a heady mix of make-shift cars, chopped up limbs and gore-soaked True Blue Aussie muscle, which places it somewhere between Mad Max and Peter Jackson's early splatter movies.
