One of those movies that's almost too unique to really be good, but maybe that's ok. It's still plenty entertaining. There's some fun, gory, zombie kills and the musical numbers are generally pretty great. It's got a weird, good, off-kilter energy. I wasn't particularly satisfied by the time I finished it, but I didn't regret my time with it either. It's certainly unique - unlike anything else I've ever watched.

Great movie! What a fun time. It's a great zombie movie, it's a great musical, it's a great Christmas movie. I was bumping the soundtrack on the way home. Also, at least 3 of these songs will be in regular rotation for Christmas music each season.

I never knew I needed to see a Christmas zombie musical but I'm glad I did. Such a unique movie that doesn't always work but I love the idea. Plus most of the songs are great.

Ask yourself what a Christmas movie needs more of....Musical numbers? Check. Teen angst? Check. Funny dialogue? Sometimes. Good characters and acting? Yes, has that. How about zombies? Bloody action sequences? Got that, too. Toe tapping tunes like "No such thing as a Hollywood ending" and "When it comes to zombie killing, I'm at the top of my class" break up what would have been a brat pack version of "Shawn of the Dead." Enjoyable, but not a home run.

Without the musical elements, this would have been a competently made, but unremarkable Shaun of the Dead the junior edition. With the musical elements? It's still competent but unremarkable, only with a few songs thrown in that don't always sit comfortably with the tone. It's an okay flick, but those with a better tolerance for musicals will rate it higher than me.

All right, you get 10 points for being one of a kind. Cheesy Trash-Horror-Musical. Reminded me again how much i like musicals and that we really need more zombie movies again. Definitely worth a watch. The Trailer says its a mix from Shaun of the Dead and Lala Land, but i think High School Musical fits better. Some songs are kinda funny others are way to cheesy. But my head still shaked to the tunes ;D Thank your for that movie and please make another one, i really would like to see where they go next.

It's the holiday season, it is senior year and change is everywhere. Anna is on the cusp of adulthood and ready to make her first big decision as she wants to travel for a year before going to university. Her father has his own thoughts on this matter, her best friend pines for her and the bad boy bully that she had a fling with can't keep his mouth shut. This is all standard high school, teen comedy drama but throw in some zombies and the musical aspect and you have yourself a pretty great movie. The movie clearly owes a lot to Shaun Of The Dead and there are some nitpicks to be had, but that mostly seems to be due to budget restraints, they really swing for the fences and the soundtrack is full of bangers. Cult classic potential achieved.

This was actually a really fun and one of a kind movie. It’s a musical that I actually enjoyed, which is very rare.

Many descriptions apply to "Anna and the Apocalypse": Christmas movie, high school drama, comedy, musical, or zombie flick. It's definitely an interesting genre mix, but it's not entirely successful. This is mainly due to the fact that not all the elements really click. There isn't enough festive atmosphere for a good Christmas movie; the relationships between the characters are too uninteresting for a good high school drama; too few of the jokes hit for a good comedy; and the songs are too generic for a good musical. Only the zombie part worked for me for most of the time, as the movie is quite bloody and has a few nice kills. And when it does get funny, it's in this area. Ultimately, the movie is entertaining enough for a reasonably good time, but nothing more.

>We interrupt this program to bring you an important news bulletin. The Center for Disease Control has recategorized the pandemic, first thought to be a super virus strain of the flu. It has now been determined to be a lethal pathogen...

After this prophetic first line, the film begins its inexorable descent into the miasma of disappointment.

Horror School Musical... Anna and the Apoca-lipsyncing. No one warned me this was a musical! There are more songs than zombies, and that kills me.

As a zombie film it's very poor and as a musical it's very musical, so it's really not a film for me.

(I'm also deducting a full point for the infuriating "lesbian only until she meets the right man for her" trope.)

The overall idea of the movie is a bit interesting, but it is so boring a lot of times to make me quit the movie by the half

*Glee* meets *Shaun of the Dead* in this fun and unique zombie Christmas musical. I'm not usually a fan of musicals but the songs were all good and catchy. Some great zombie kills. The humor is hit and miss and it felt a bit overlong.

I LOVE this movie. Starts out like a Christmas high school musical movie. Then there are zombies. It’s perfect. I mean, it’s flawed and silly, but it’s in my top 3 favorite Christmas movies, HANDS DOWN.

I did not see that coming! yes i was pleasantly surprised. "Shaun of the dead" finally found a decent alternative (zombieland is close but different approach). The musical thing ? genius! perfectly executed, not at all annoying (and i do not like musicals) and nice zombie kills.
I would love a sequel.
