Australian filmmaking brothers, Kiah Roache-Turner and Tristan Roache-Turner, have smashed the chum bucket once again! Their first film, Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead (2015), was a sleeper hit for zombie lovers and action fans alike, taking the insanity from favorites like Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and adding a gut-bursting amount of over-the-top gore to create one hell of a fuel-injected ride. We are so stoked to announce that we have the trailer for the sequel, Wyrmwood: Apocalypse! Check it out!
If that doesn’t get your blood flowing, I don’t know what will!
Not only do we have the trailer, but we also have a digital release date… April 14, 2022. That’s only a few weeks away!
From the press release:
Synopsis:
Rhys lives in the zombie-infested wasteland. His job is to capture civilians and deliver them to what’s left of the military. When Rhys captures a half-zombie-half-human named Grace, he comes to believe she is the key to ending the apocalypse.
The latest feature from Australian filmmaking brother duo Kiah Roache-Turner and Tristan Roache-Turner, whose previous collaborations include their breakout feature debut Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead, which premiered at the 2014 Fantastic Fest and put them on the map internationally for their creative use of low-budget gore and highly effective horrific story, and the 2018 TIFF Midnight Madness premiere Nekrotronic [PopHorror review]. The two share co-writing credits while Kiah handles direction with energetic ease and Tristan produces.
With a mix of new and familiar faces from the creative worlds of the Roache-Turner brothers, Wyrmwood: Apocalypse stars Luke McKenzie (Wentworth, Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead), Bianca Bradey (Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead), Shantae Barnes-Cowan (Total Control), Tasia Zalar (Mystery Road), Jay Gallagher (Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead, Nekrotronic), and Nicholas Boshier (Soul Mates).
Blake Northfield (Streamline) produced alongside Tristan Roache-Turner, and Todd Brown and Maxime Cottray executive produced for XYZ Films.
