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.
3 ½ * of 5
Update 26 December 2021: nothing new to add but that it’s even better
the second time. Now promoted to 4* of 5, and yes, definitely a Christmas tradition
for us.
