Anna and the Apocalypse

If you're looking for polish or sophistication from "Anna And The Apocalypse," you're chomping on the wrong neck. But the songs are bouncy, the performances fresh and the gore happily not in any way related to real life. You got to love that.

Show tunes meet Shaun of the Dead in the delightfully gruesome Scottish horror-musical Anna and the Apocalypse.

Even if all these disparate genre elements don't always come together, the film exudes a sense of zaniness and breeziness that make it easy to watch.

"Anna and the Apocalypse" tries too hard to do too much, but this multigenre hybrid has more than enough good cheer to get viewers through another holiday season on this troubled planet.

"Anna," though short, runs out of ideas - but not of fake blood - long before its ending. Nice spurting, though.

It just about gets away with it, coasting on cheerfully gruesome zombie kills and some decent jokes...

Although it doesn't hit all of the notes, Anna and the Apocalypse is still entertaining. [Full Review in Spanish]

Anna and her friends come to understand the most frightening aspect of adulthood, realizing that friends and parents won't always be there to help you, and that the biggest fear is having to stand on your own two feet.

This energetic indie sums up why I love going to the movies

Admittedly original for a horrific holiday hoot, McPhail's off-kilter Scottish musical plays a delightful naughty note for those looking to celebrate the end-of-the-year seasonal greetings with an (un)deadly bang.

As a palate cleanse for the endless parade of Hallmark Christmas movies, Anna and the Apocalypse serves up a wacky diversion, but not without a little darkness and tragedy on the side.

A marvelous horror comedy musical that will fit snugly with classics like "Shaun of the Dead," and "Rocky Horror Picture Show"...
