Little Monsters
19 November 2019
Manchild slacker Dave (Alexander England) breaks up with his long term girlfriend and moves into his sister's home for a bit.

The street busker takes a liking to his nephew's schoolteacher, Miss Caroline (Lupita Nyong'o.) In order to be with her, Dave volunteers to take his nephew's class on a field trip to a petting zoo.

Unfortunately an army test facility nearby has a sudden zombie outbreak. Dave and Miss Caroline needs to keep the children safe by pretending this is all part of the outing.

Teddy McGiggle (Josh Gad) is a superstar children's entertainer who happens to be at the farm to make his television show. However he reveals himself to be a selfish jerk who is happy to let the kids be killed by zombies.

Lupita does well as a kick ass heroine trying to keep the kids safe. However this film is too crude to be a child friendly film and not horrific enough for younger adults. It has no idea which audience it was aiming for. The zombies are just there to provide gore when the film needs it.

As a comedy rom-com horror hybrid it is not for funny enough for teenagers and a little bit too silly. Both Dave and McGiggle are just annoying fools.
