Verdict: "Little Monsters" is the third zombie comedy to come out this year and probably my least favorite of the lot.
Directed by Abe Forsythe and starring Lupita Nyong'o and Alexander England, the film follows a teacher and a musician as they attempt to protect a group of children from a zombie outbreak. The first 15 minutes of the film were absolutely hilarious and left me hopeful for what was coming next, but unfortunately it quickly dropped in quality as soon as the zombies are introduced to the narrative and it becomes an incredibly uninspired, cliché, and frankly dull comedy that never offered anything even close to its first act in terms of entertainment. One other aspect that ruined the experience for me was the introduction of Josh Gad's character, who was nothing but a pointless and annoying liability that truly got on my nerves as the film went by. Nyong'o and especially England in the first 15 minutes, on the other hand, gave much more interesting performances but other than that, I can't really say that the movie did anything for me.
