Anna and the Apocalypse

OK, it's not really the best, but it's Christmasy, violent and has zombies, so it's definitely one of the most unusual.

I 100% agree with this, I watched it all the way through for the first time a few weeks ago after having recently started listening to the songs and I loved it.

I’m a big fan of The King and I, the original one with Yul Brynner.
