One of my favorite films out of Fantastic Fest 2017 was Anna and the Apocalypse, so I am beyond stoked that John McPhail’s ambitious and highly infectious Christmas-themed zombie musical is arriving in select theaters this weekend, and will be hitting more cities on December 7th as part of the film’s nationwide rollout, as it’s an experience that deserves to be seen on a big screen and in a packed theater.
