Little Monsters

By the end of the film you love it and feel good about it but that's only if you survive the first third of it. The beginning (aside from the opening credits which are very humorous) is painful and crude and plain awful; not in film or acting but content wise. However that does depend on personal taste and humor.

It really comes together in the final act and a solid ending that is happy, tender and sweet which is unheard of with a zombie flick.

It's not everyone's cup of tea but for those like this kind of humor I can't see why you wouldn't like it. Full of character and tons of humor check it out

Little monsters was a fun zombie movie. It reminded me a lot of cooties but instead of the action contained in a classroom. Its instead in far which is right next to a government facility. Dave is a bit of a slacker, a washed up muscian and one day when taking his nephew to school he has heart eyes for teacher caroline. Nyong and england are both great here and I enjoyed their performances very much. Dave ends up going with the class to a field trip and sing shake it off on the way. They are unaware though that zombies have got of a facility and they are coming for them. The horror was somewhat wholesome in this and the way the characters were able to still make jokes in such a situation. Josh gad is also here as a funny childrens tv character filming at the farm called Teddy mchgiggle though he is a little selfish and has a potty mouth. Little monsters is overal a film that does not take itself to seriously and has fun with its soerce and I enjoyed this very much.

Right, well I didn't even know about "Little Monsters" prior to getting a chance to sit down and watch it. And being a huge fan of all things zombie, of course I had to sit down and watch this movie.

Turns out that "Little Monsters" from writer and director Abe Forsythe was actually quite good. It was a nice surprise and was actually a nice addition to the zombie genre, especially because Abe Forsythe managed to incorporate the comedy so well into the storyline, without it tipping over and becoming a downright comedy.

The storyline was good, nicely paced and actually had some good things to it. Sure, it was a zombie story, so you know what you are getting. But the movie does offer odd bits of things that you don't usually see in zombie movies, such as the kid's TV show host, children being a major part of the storyline, people singing during a zombie outbreak, and so on.

As for the zombie make-up, well, I must admit that they did a great job. The zombies looked good, and it wasn't, thankfully, not just people painted gray on the face and forgetting about the neck and hands. No, "Little Monsters" actually had decent zombie make-up and prosthetics, and even had enough gore in it to make it have that special zombiesque feeling to it. It was good.

And the movie had a great cast. Lupita Nyong'o really carried this movie quite well, and she was nicely cast for the role of Miss Caroline. Alexander England, playing cousin Dave, was also quite good. However, I must say that Josh Gad, playing Teddy McGiggle, was actually hilarious in the movie, and his character was just a blast.

If you enjoy zombie movies, and want something that deviates from the usual end-of-the-world-struggling-to-survive formula, then "Little Monsters" is a refreshing addition to the zombie genre.

I am rating "Little Monsters" seven out of ten stars.

Biased opinion as a parent, but the kids in this horror spoof made it amazing. Makes sense as the film is dedicated to Abe Forsythe's son Spike, whose first day of kindergarten inspired parts of the story. Some original zombie gags towards the end were a nice touch. Definitely reccomend to 'Shaun of the Dead' fans that now have kids. My wife had tears during the credits, happy or sad? You'll just have to find out.
