"Anna" registers as more than just a throwaway novelty item thanks to simple yet highly effective emotional underpinnings.
Anna and the Apocalypse plays on every emotion-to use a musical analogy, it's a skeleton whacking its ribs like a xylophone.
Things are already grim and knowingly tacky before zombies arrive, and director John McPhail's movie uses his film's genre-bending position as a musical to play with tropes.
A joyous celebration of zombies, musicals and Christmas
As a Christmas-zombie-musical-teen-comedy, the multi-genre straddling Anna And The Apocalypse could have gone either way (with the odds on totally disastrous).
A knee-bouncing, zombie cracking adventure that has the guts to put its daring artistic vision forward without compromise. It's sickly sweet and genuinely original.
Funny, gory and genuinely poignant, Anna And The Apocalypse is a bloody charmer.
Even though we are aware that we are being taken on an unusual ride that we are meant to enjoy, the emotional stakes are high enough that the audience can't help caring about the characters and whether they'll live or die.
Anna and the Apocalypse is a compelling genre mashup that manages the rare achievement of doing service to each of its component facets.
The cast are a pleasant enough bunch but the film is tonally all over the place, being too violent for laughs and not funny enough to raise more than a smile.
This one's got some bite
Paul Kaye goes full pantomime villain in a wonderfully hissable performance, while there are hilarious scenes of zombies marauding in the backdrop as oblivious kids sing their troubles away.
