Oddly, the extended version is put on disc 2, rather than on the first disc with seamless branching. However, it does have the energy of an old-school ’70s musical such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Plus, occasional laugh out loud moments, such as when they all head out in a particular disguise, and an old woman sits down and… ewwww!Īt almost two hours, yes, I did choose to watch the Extended version, but it does rather go on a bit. There’s occasional neat practical special effects, as opposed to always relying on CGI like most Hollywood movies, such as when one zombie is smacked on both sides of his head and BOOM! Blood comes out. That scene is a definite highlight of the film.Īnna and John dispatch the zombie snowman. The main theme – Turning My Life Around (performed by Hunt and Cumming) – is sung while a zombie apocalypse plays out behind them, and who hasn’t imagined the song they’re hearing isn’t accompanying them by having 100 dancers behind them?

Meanwhile, Paul Kaye is great as demonic headmaster-to-be Arthur Savage, once the job becomes his in the New Year. Given the number of different aspects to discuss about the film, I’ll go into them one by one.įirstly, schoolgirl Anna ( Ella Hunt, above) drops the bombshell to her Dad ( Mark Benton) that she’s not going to Uni… she’s going to take time out to travel, first. Plus, you can settle the age-old debate about whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie… because Anna and the Apocalypse is! Now, I love a good zombie movie (less so for a TV series as they just ramble on), but I’m not a big fan of musicals, so how will this fare? It’s certainly different, so it’s got to be worth a try for that alone. For some unknown reason, like Upgrade, it’s taken some time for a Blu-ray to get released, but thankfully, the wait has been worth it as it has a ton of extras. Anna and the Apocalypse is a film which was released in UK cinemas just before Xmas 2018, with the DVD in April 2019.
