Welcome to musical cinema that defies categories and transcends expectations. This isn’t the mainstream musical lane, we’re exploring everything from zombie Christmas carols in “Anna and the Apocalypse” to the punk rock heart of “Dinner in America”.
From the twisted symphony of “Sound of Violence” to the feel-good chaos of “The Rumperbutts.”
We celebrate directors who understand that music can be a weapon, a healing balm, or pure absurdist joy, sometimes all in the same film.
Whether it’s horror-musicals that shouldn’t work but absolutely do, music videos crafted with genuine cinematic vision (hello, Thirty Seconds to Mars doing “The Shining”), or those beautifully bizarre projects that prove singing can emerge from any genre, any story, any nightmare or dream.
From Christmas musicals with bite to punk rock redemption stories, from music biopics that go beyond the formula to videos that function as miniature films, we cover the music-driven cinema that dares to be different. Because the best musical moments often come from the most unexpected places.
For viewers who like their soundtracks unconventional and their musical storytelling fearlessly eclectic.

Bad Girl Boogey, So Vam, and T-Blockers pave the way for Alice Maio Mackay’s latest feature film, Carnage For Christmas. Co-written by Benjamin Pahl Robinson, the indie horror follows a classic…
