What I enjoyed about the first movie was the ability to mix the zombie horror genre with comedy and it worked just great. It was not a masterpiece, but a nice and funny film. The sequel takes itself way too seriously and to be honest it feels almost nonsensical at all. Basically they threw away the winning formula and tried to do something completely different, however "Wyrmwood" was never supposed to be like that. There are a couple of good moments, but for the rest action sequences look lazy and predictable. CGI is not so great, but I can give it a pass, considering that these movies do not have a big budget. I think that focusing more on practical effects was the right choice and the final result would be a bit better. Characters were pretty much boring and forgettable. The cast is very cringey and obviously these actors don't know how to act. The villain was insufferable, I hated every single moment that he was on screen. To be honest I cannot find many positives in this sequel and it is perfectly avoidable. Personally I was perfectly content with the original one and did not feel the need for another installment, especially after so many years.
