I think it's true that this could be the most enjoyable zombie comedy since "Shaun of the Dead", there are as many great bits of black comedy as there are those of the feel-good kind. While the laughs do come from familiar places, a lot of factors, including the two leads, makes the movie very worthwhile.

"Little Monsters" is a fast paced, simple minded yet witty zombedy adventure. It starts off a lot like a black comedy, lots of crude but actually funny jokes, no zombies yet & Alexander England gets introduced as the first of two highly enjoyable leads. The other is a quickly rising favorite of mine - Lupita Nyong'o, who has established herself as a strong presence on screen in both darkly serious and comedic roles/movies. I hope she sticks around the horror genre, because she would be missed in the community. As the story unravels, the comedy continues, but shifts slowly, showing off moments both sweet and scary. Quite a few feel-good, sweet sequences and I had no choice but to root for our heroes. Even all the kids did their best thing, adorable little creatures. I'm happy to say that aesthetically & technically "Little Monsters" is very well done, vibrant, playful and bloody. I've found that it's quite easy for a good comedy to make you sport the rose colored glasses, because they are undeniably very entertaining and can steal your heart sometimes - this excuse is the intro for me stating that I can't pick on this movie much, it was a wild and awesome ride. Some flaws I noticed were, for example, a drop in pacing around the middle part of the movie, the afore mentioned familiriaty of the concept, jokes, flow, structure, but all that didn't stand in the way of "Little Monsters" being a blast.

Not a lot of great zombedies nowadays, maybe even less than once a year a solid one comes around, so I encourage You to pick this up, get into the couch and enjoy the adventure. My rating: 8/10

LITTLE MONSTERS is a generally agreeable comedy horror flick in which a group of schoolchildren find themselves caught up in the middle of a zombie outbreak during a daytrip. It's up to their teacher to save them, alongside some unwilling allies. Yeah, I groaned too when I saw zombies were the subject matter once more, but this is a fresh-feeling production with a fast-moving story and some great zombie makeup which would have worked well in a scarier production. The main problem with it is the crude script, saddled as it is too with Alexander England's obnoxious lead, although Lupita Nyong'o's charm goes a long way in making up for his overwhelming deficiencies.

In Australia, slacker loser Dave (Alexander England) takes his nephew Felix to school and completely falls for the teacher Miss Caroline (Lupita Nyong'o). He joins the school trip to a mini-golf farm hosted by children's entertainer Teddy McGiggle (Josh Gad). A nearby American Army research facility becomes overrun by zombies.

This is a mildly funny comedy horror. The horror is limited by the very young children. The comedy works to some extend. The funniest line comes from a kid saying the zombies look fake. There is good opportunity for comedy. Josh Gad is trying very hard. I'm not sure if Lupita fits the comedy mould. The lead could be funnier. Simon Pegg does it funnier in Shaun of the Dead. He doesn't have a good sidekick. The kid is too young to do the job. Overall, it has some good laughs but there could still be more.
