Dave is a retired musician who volunteers to accompany his nephew's kindergarten study tour after falling for the intrepid schoolteacher, Miss Caroline.

“Are we going to die Miss Caroline?”
“No. It's part of the game. The zombies are not real.”
“Like fuck they're not!”


Nice. Little Monsters is a standard zombie movie and it never gets really exciting, but because of the strong acting, the humor and the fun that the actors radiate, the movie never gets boring. Lupita Nyong'o and England do well and have a nice chemistry . Josh Gad is a bit annoying, but thankfully the way he meets his end is funny and well done.

The love story didn't need to be there for me, but Nyong'o and England know how to sell it. Little Monsters is also a real horror comedy, with the emphasis on the comedy part. The fact that it is at the expense of the tension didn't bother me at all .

Crazy horror comedy in a setting of zombies on the loose. Actually quite successful if you don't take it too seriously. At times also funny and the environment of the zoo is not bad. The feel good idea sometimes goes a bit too far, certainly at the end although there were actually many victims including many children.

Not from Miss Caroline's class. She protects and defends the children with her ukulele and if necessary with a shovel or pitchfork. Very catchy and pleasant role of the beautiful Nyong'o. The silly Dave fit in well. And the annoying Teddy also had his contribution.

That Félix actually saves the day, may be a bit much, but until then it was all quite entertaining. Barely enough for me, if only for Sweet Caroline!

Australian director Abe Forsythe tries to create a unique combination between a very childish film and a full-blooded zombie horror. In principle, Little Monsters is not much more than a busy collection of all kinds of ideas that are not fully developed and can hardly complement each other. It also does not really help that Forsythe introduces his film as a kind of midlife-crisis humor film, of which the comedy definitely does not get off the ground. It all remains on the very bland and tame side, even when the bloodshed starts after about half an hour. Fortunately, the good acting (Lupita Nyong'o and Josh Gad always remain reliable in that area) and a quite cute ending are still benefited from, but that does not prevent Little Monsters from completely paling in comparison to the much fresher horror work of recent years.
