  • Why? Who knows?
  • Seen: 19 December 2020      

       Just your normal Christmas musical with unhappy teenagers singing in the corridors and cafeteria about unrequited love and the need to escape their dreary small town in Scotland. There’s even a nerdy tyrannical headmaster.

       Until the zombies show up.

       Shaun of the Dead or The Girl with All the Gifts it is not but it’s a decent zombie film and a decent musical. Not bad entertainment for the Saturday evening before Christmas. Who knows? It may become a Christmas tradition in this Scrooge-y household.
