Zombie comedy Little Monsters gets a red band trailer for October release

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

One genre movie I'm really looking forward to this year is writer/director Abe Forsythe's zombie comedy LITTLE MONSTERS, and there's only a couple weeks left to wait before the film gets its US release. NEON and Hulu have teamed up for a distribution plan that will see LITTLE MONSTERS reaching a select number of theatres on October 8th, followed by a streaming release on Hulu on October 11th.

With that release fast approaching, a red band trailer has arrived online to give us a preview of some of the blood, guts, and foul language we can expect to see in the film.

Described as "ZOMBIELAND meets KINDERGARTEN COP" (or "SHAUN OF THE DEAD meets BILLY MADISON"), LITTLE MONSTERS stars Lupita Nyong'o, Alexander England, and Josh Gad. The story centers on 

directionless Dave (England), who crashes at his sister's place and spends his days expanding his young nephew's questionable vocabulary. When an opportunity arises to chaperone an upcoming school excursion alongside the charming and enigmatic teacher Miss Caroline (Nyong’o), Dave jumps at the chance to impress her. What he wasn’t anticipating was Teddy McGiggle (Gad), an obnoxious children's television personality who shapes the excursion's activities. 

What he was expecting even less was a zombie invasion, which unfolds after an experiment at a nearby military base goes awry. Armed only with the resourcefulness of kindergartners, Dave, Miss Caroline and Teddy must work together to keep the monsters at bay and carve a way out with their guts intact.

This movie looks like a lot of fun to me, and our own Chris Bumbray gave it a 7/10 review, so I'm going to be watching it as soon as possible.
