"Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead" in UK cinemas and on disc

It’s "Mad Max" meets "Dawn of the Dead" as the apocalypse goes down under in the year’s darkest, most hilarious zombie splatter-fest - “Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead” in UK cinemas 8th May and on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital HD 11th May.
 
A post-apocalyptic zombie invasion turns personal for Aussie mechanic Barry (Jay Gallagher) when a team of sinister gas-masked soldiers abducts his sister Brooke (Bianca Bradey) for a mad scientist’s flesh-eating experiments.
 
Teaming up with fellow apocalypse survivor Benny (Leon Burchill), Barry must lock and load to battle through the undead and save Brooke!
 
“Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead” is a blistering feature debut from the brother writing team of Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner, who have created a world that not only puts original, innovative twists on zombie lore, but also mashes up elements from horror and post-apocalyptic science fiction - all set against a retina-burning Australian landscape, with Mad Max­-influenced design and a splattering of inspiration from Peter Jackson’s "Bad Taste" and "Braindead".
 
It is also a triumph of DIY horror, held together by glue, gaffer tape and a pure love of gore. Produced over four years - and exceeding the brothers’ original budget by $130,000 - the props and costumes were made by Tristan and his friends, while the crew doubled up as zombies.

“Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead” is released to selected UK cinemas 8th May. Then is released to UK DVD, Blu-ray and VOD 11th May.
