Anna and the Apocalypse (2017)
As the holidays approach, a teenage girl and her friends ponder their life choices in this lighthearted musical. Then, suddenly, ZOMBIES ATTACK! The songs, however, keep right on rolling along with the sudden influx of gore. This genre mash-up from director John McPhail has energy to spare and an appealing young cast led by Ella Hunt (Dickinson). It also features Paul Kaye (Thoros of Myr on Game of Thrones) as a jerky school principal. Truly, there’s no other Christmas movie quite like it. (Available to rent on Amazon Prime, iTunes, and other streamers.)
