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.
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.
Update 24 December
2022: ditto from last year. Maybe even 4 ½ * . I really like it.
