Lena Wilson of the New York Times gave it a positive review writing "“Wyrmwood: Apocalypse” is a must-see for zombie fans, thanks to a quick-witted script by the director, Kiah Roache-Turner, and his brother, Tristan Roache-Turner. Writing in The Los Angeles Times wrote "“Apocalypse” is equal parts exhausting and impressive — though thanks to the giddy fun the filmmakers appear to be having, it's mostly the latter." The Guardian's Luke Buckmaster gave it 3 stars saying "The film is a perversely colourful, visually energetic and proudly splatterific sequel to its 2015 predecessor, a lean and mean midnight movie that, while stuffed with familiar genre elements, had a couple of rare or rare-ish distinguishing features." The Weekend Australian's Stephen Romei gave it 3 1/2 stars writing "The result ia an outlandish, humorous and entertaining schlocker that nods to Mad Max, Peter jackson's 1987 debut Bad Taste and, even earlier, Soylent Green, starring Charlton Heston, from 1973."
