Charming in some ways, but the music is very cheeky and ultimately does not mesh with this genre. The Principal is terrible and his song towards the end is just awful and embarrassing. And while the "kills" look like they will be adventurous and funny, any fun with zombies dies well before half the film is over. 90 minutes never felt so long and just like the kids roaming through the streets to get to the school, there is no sense of direction as this fizzles out with a whimper. If you are a horror fan, this is NOT for you. The blood looks like cherry syrup and is only comical, not gruesome. Its a waste of time, and there is ZERO holiday spirit, just so happens to take place around Christmas time so Anna can carry a candy cane I guess. At least they know that dependency on phones is not going to help you during the apocalypse! I'm going 2 stars for an intriguing beginning with some hope, but the drop off is fast and unfortunate. I wanted out, but I knew it wasn't much longer until it was over and legged it out!
