Possibly the goriest musical available?
10 December 2019 | by SlightlyMe – See all my reviews

Was entertaining. Was surprisingly the musical aspect didn't deter from the narrative. Sadly was wanting. What started as an interesting zombie musical with thoughtful character development acted well turned into some Rocky Horror Picture show isk cabaret with zombies, that move so slow you have to wonder how anyone got bitten.

If you like musicals, then, I dunno, do you like zombie movies also? If you fancy a change then yeah this movie is good for a laugh.
