I love when movies combine genres and ideas that perhaps no one thought were previously possible. Anna and the Apocalypse is one of the most unique films I have ever seen, and one of the most entertaining 90 minutes of all 2018. It's not for everyone, in fact, the Disney Channel esque musical numbers meeting the incredibly violent and gory zombie action will turn off many. But I found it to be an impeccably coherent flick, and one that's perfect for the holiday season. Not all the emotional ploys work and there are even some moments that I wish were re-arranged with different characters, but you have to applaud the boldness to this film. And hey, as the film tells us, there's no such thing as a Hollywood ending. 9.1/10

What a massively disappointing conclusion. I have no idea how they could possibly mess up the second half this badly. The film starts off perfectly, a perfect commitment to the cheese and the campiness, genuine talent put into the songs, an awful lot of great slapstick, and over the top performances. And then they forgot what movie they were making. The film commits so much to its zombie film satire that it becomes an actual zombie film. It attempts to be sad, serious, dramatic. They start killing characters that have no reason to die because...? I am so incredibly disappointed. I laughed so so hard for like 35 minutes and then nothing.

I'm sure the positive reviews are those comparing this to Shaun of the Dead (the sequence of the main characters oblivious to the zombie outbreak at the beginning seems to have been ripped directly from that movie), but SOTD this is not. That movie picked a direction, it was a comedy about a zombie outbreak. This film, however, tries to be everything to everyone and it fails as a result of being less than the sum of its parts. Is it a musical, a campy zombie movie, a serious zombie movie, or what? I get that having musical numbers in a horror film is original, that it is, but it just doesn't work. It's silly, not in a good way, because it's an attempt to add comedy into a horror film, which is a fine idea, but the movie itself is actually kind of serious, so the added musical numbers come off as tone deaf and completely took me out of the film. It also doesn't help that all of the characters are one-dimensional caricatures of actual people, and that the musical numbers are dull at best, laughably bad at worst. After about 30 minutes boredom ensued. I found myself watching the time left bar more than the movie itself. Pick a direction.

Is this a freakin' Disney movie? I'm ok with combining horror with comedy I'm ok with combining zombie with comedy ( shawn of the dead amazing movie ) I'm NOT ok on combining horror + zombie + comedy and 88% of the movie YOU SING! Seriously now, what is this!? To be 100% honest with you guys, I skipped all parts where they sang, I want to see a horror / zombie movie .. not to listen to Disney Channel movies, if I want that I go to TV. Acting is horrible Screenplay is awful (story sucks) Actors are teens that I never heard of and I watched hundreds and hundreds of movies. Nothing funny (if u ask me) Nothing horror (if u ask me) Nothing SF (if u ask me) My score for this movie is 1 / 10

I was looking for something different to watch and found this on Amazon Prime streaming movies. Cute teenage British actress Ella Hunt, who has that Katie Holmes thing going on with her face, stars as Anna. This is a musical of sorts so she also sings a few songs. Her acting is good and her voice is pleasant enough but actually has little vocal control, she would do well to get professional singing lessons. When it was over I felt I had mostly wasted my time. It is pretty silly, most of the movie involves the characters using various objects to bat and kill, or spear and kill, the Zombies that are out to get them near Christmas. But some get bitten, and it is over for them. Right now it has a "6" rating here, to me that is just a bit too high when you compare it to other movies of its genre.

All the people who are writing these reviews are WAY too serious. The movie is good fun and I thoroughly enjoyed, even though I normally am not a fan of musicals. Would recommend to anyone who actually has a sense of humour.
