Anna and the Apocalypse
The world of cinema has squeezed so much the stories of zombies that it costs a little to get excited about any project around creatures Creed II for which I have always had a kind of weakness within the pantheon of the most popular terrifying monsters. Luckily there are still titles that are worthwhile from time to time and the trailer for ‘Anna and the Apocalypse’, the Christmas zombie music that we did not know we needed, invites us to think that it could be one of them.
The film tells the story of Anna, a teenager who wants to escape from her life in a small town’s high school until one day she wakes up in the middle of the apocalypse. With the help of his friends and a handful of songs, he will dodge all the dangers around him to try to reunite with his family before it is too late. The trailer itself rescues a criticism that defines it as a mix The Litch between ‘Zombies Party’ and ‘La La Land’.
Directed by John McPhail and written by Alan McDonald and Ryan McHenry – although the songs are run by Roddy Hart and Tommy Reilly -, ‘Anna and the Apocalypse’ does not count in its cast with any big name – the protagonist is played by Ella Hunt , which we could see in ‘Robot Overlords’-, a detail that can be very good -you avoid Backstabbing for Beginners the vices in which you sometimes fall for having someone you know- or a punch-just do not measure up and that spoils the final result-.
‘Anna and the Apocalypse’ has already been seen in several festivals, including Sitges held in 2017, The Front Runner enjoying a very good reception. Nevertheless, it will be now when its disembarkation takes place in cinemas, being released first in the United Kingdom the next 30 of November before beginning its international expansion.
