Back in January, it was announced that Orion had picked up the North Ameican distribution rights to John McPhail’s zombie holiday musical ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE for a release “during the holidays.” And today it seems like they are keeping to their word as the film’s December 7th release date has just been revealed.
I don’t know about you, but from all the positive word-of-mouth I’ve been hearing on the film, this seems like it will be a prime Christmas watch come the holidays this year. What do you think? Are you excited to check out ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE this Christmas? Make sure to hit us up and let us know in the comments below or on social media.
Synopsis:
Ella Hunt (Our Robot Overlords) stars as the titular Anna alongside Mark Benton and Paul Kaye (Game Of Thrones). The film focuses on a zombie apocalypse that is threatening the sleepy town of Little Haven during Christmas. The undead forces Anna and her high school friends to fight, sing and slash their way to survival with a fast-spreading horde out that are hungry for their blood. Teaming up with her best friend John, Anna and her crew fight their way through zombified snowmen, a ravenous bachelor party, and high school hormones to try and save family and faculty alike. But they soon discover that no one is safe in this new world, and the only people they can truly rely on are each other.
The film is directed by John McPhail (Where Do We Go From Here?) from a script written by Alan McDonald and Ryan McHenry and stars Ella Hunt, Mark Benton, and Paul Kaye.
ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE hits select theaters December 7.
