VOD: Anna And The Apocalypse (dir: John McPhail, 2017)

"Christmas is fast becoming my least-favourite C-word!"

This is High School Musical...with zombies..in Scotland...at Christmas!  On paper, this unholy hybrid should not work, but Anna And The Apocalypse is an absolute unexpected treat.  The cast is delightful, the songs are epic authentic-80s-sounding anthems that work really well, it is enjoyable throughout and the whole venture comes across as confident and well-made on a tiny budget.  (Do not be misled, however: it does not stint on the gore!)
