10 Horror Movie Musicals You Simply Have To See
5. Anna And The Apocalypse
If Shaun of the Dead, Cooties, Buffy’s
Once More with Feeling episode and Krampus had a steamy evening
together, Anna and the Apocalypse would be the offspring.
Leaving school and getting ready to
go to university is a tricky enough process (what kind of pencil should
a prospective lawyer use?!), but having to do that whilst a zombie apocalypse
breaks out? It probably makes it much harder. This is the reality faced by
titular protagonist Anna, who is played brilliantly by Ella Hunt. Her solution
to this problem? Sing, of course!
Working as a brilliant film and as
a brilliant musical, Anna and the Apocalypse is a fun romp, that’s splattered
in all the blood and guts you could hope for in a zombie film. What makes it
truly special however, is that it is rooted in genuinely believable and likable
characters that you can imagine meeting in your own small hometown. That is no
mean feat, considering the grandiose nature of both musicals and apocalypse movies.
Plus, it’s a Christmas movie! So
you can turn off Die Hard this year and give this little gem a try.
