Movies that feel likeAnna and the Apocalypse (2018)

A zombie apocalypse threatens the sleepy town of Little Haven—at Christmas—forcing Anna and her friends to fight, slash, and sing their way to survival. In a desperate race to reach their loved ones, they soon learn that no one is safe in this new world, and with civilization falling apart around them, the only people they can truly rely on are each other.

If you loved Anna and the Apocalypse, the closest films we have are Extra Ordinary (2019), Krampus (2015) and Tigers Are Not Afraid (2017). All three share Anna and the Apocalypse's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is November (2017).
