Anna and the Apocalypse
There’s no shortage of Christmas horror movies to choose from, but there’s only one teen zombie pop musical out there (so far).
“Shot in gray, grim, suburban Port Glasgow in Scotland,
Anna and the Apocalypse is about young hearts burning to be free – right until the undead rip those hearts out of their chests and eat them. Anna (Ella Hunt) is in her last year at high school, and her dad isn't in on her plan to put off university for a year and go traveling. Her best friend John (Malcolm Cumming, one of the best depictions of teen awkwardness since Jon Cryer's Duckie) is working out that his crush on Anna has no future. Meanwhile, she's dealing with her quick fling with an arrogant dudebro, and that's all the emotional complexity your average high school musical needs. And then the zombie apocalypse hits, and the story gets dark and sorrowful and soulful really fast.” –
