Review:

So I saw this storyline and figure I had to give it a go, zombie vampires?? As far as the acting goes, some of it's bad (overplayed) but mostly not that bad even good at times. The story itself takes a few minutes to get going but overall not terrible. My only major concern is that I'm not convinced that this could be classified as a horror but more of a thriller/action with zombie vampires in it. The special effects are in the b movie category and could use some refining.

While this film could use some work, all in all it's not a bad movie.

Review:

The cinematography in this film is amazing. Wyrmwood's action starts off before the title of the movie even hits the screen. This is NOT your typical zombie movie! It switches between the brother and the sister's side of the story. 

I can see reminences of other movies in this storyline, for example; mad scientist messing with a zomnie viras (Resident Evil) & Apocolypse gear and car (Mad Max). As the poster says Mad Max meets Dawn of the Dead. And it seriously works, making this an original zombie film. I highly recommend this film to everyone.

Review:

For warning: zombie movies from this era are not flesh eating, they are more of the voodoo variety zombies. That being said, this movie should be more popular than it is as far as classic horror is concerned. Everything in this works well: acting, lighting and plot. This moved onto my must see classic horror list.
