Zombie Musical (2011)

A fun little student project that led to Anna and the Apocalypse. The High School Musical parody factor is much more obvious here than in the resulting feature.

The Making of Anna and the Apocalypse (2019)

I watched this in prep for our podcast episode on Anna and the Apocalypse, available on the special edition Blu Ray. It has really good background info on the movie, but is really only worth watching for enthusiasts, made entirely of talking heads rather than behind-the-scenes footage.

Less than the sum of its parts, but this exact combination of parts is at least pretty unique: this is a *takes breath* Christmas zombie teen drama musical comedy. It’s got a unique Scottish flavor and an unhinged villain with a few great scenes, but has trouble keeping track of its identity or getting its characters to stick.
