"What a time to be alive!" If the movie description "high school zombie comedy holiday musical" sounds like the mash-up from horror heaven, then you'll want to check out Anna and the Apocalypse. The new film recently had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest, where Daily Dead Managing Editor Heather Wixson called it "simply divine & pure joy from start to finish," and you can now watch the official teaser trailer for the film that should have you tapping your toes... and looking down to make sure a zombie isn't about to bite them off.
Synopsis: "When a zombie apocalypse threatens the sleepy town of Little Haven - at Christmas - Anna and her high school friends have to fight, sing and slash their way to survival with a fast-spreading undead horde in relentless pursuit. Teaming up with her best friend John, Anna and her crew fight their way through zombified snowmen, a manic bachelor party and high school hormones to try and save family and faculty alike. But they soon discover that no one is truly safe in this new world and the only people they can truly rely on are each other."
Directed by John McPhail from a screenplay by Ryan McHenry and Alan McDonald, Anna and the Apocalypse stars Ella Hunt, Mark Benton, Paul Kaye, Malcolm Cumming, Sarah Swire, Christopher Leveaux, Ben Wiggins, and Marli Siu. There are currently no official release details for Anna and the Apocalypse, but we'll keep you updated as more details are announced.
