<PERSON> and the Apocalypse
I am sorry to report that this didn't quite hold up for me. The heart and effort are evident, but it feels amateurish in a way that isn't enduring. I suspect that because it reaches so highly, its seams and gaps in experience shows more.
It has big exuberant musical numbers!...that mostly feature singing people walking around and occasionally flinging themselves while background dancers do simplistic choreography.
It's well lit and is in a fancy narrow space ratio!...that I suspect hides the fact that the movie is pretty flatly shot and has little visual personality.
On top of all this, it's just unevenly paced. 647
It's probably about thirty minutes and three musical numbers until we get to anything zombie related, and though the characters have their charm, they can't really carry the movie on their own. It's worth noting that I watched the extended cut this time, and I wonder if the pacing issue is present in the theatrical cut.
All of this said, I can 100% see why it has a cult following. It's the perfect sort of little niche movie (who can't love a movie that guns for a full on Christmas zombie musical?) that will delight those who latch onto it. 596
