Viewing Notes

The problem with liking horror movies on Netflix is that the algorithm assumes that I’ll like almost all horror movies five out of five stars. Actually, I don’t know how the hell the algorithm works, but it hasn’t been able to get a handle on my eclectic tastes in the several years that I’ve been using it. When Netflix’s Ava (reference!) seductively suggested Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead, I was sceptical because of how flooded the zombie movie market is with more-of-the-same bullshit. But the description made it sound like the film was adding a new twist to the careworn subgenre. That, coupled with the fact that it’s Australian, convinced me to check it out.
