Little Monsters

Little Monsters (2019) is a horror comedy from director Abe Forsythe you can watch online on iFILM. Lupita Nyong'o plays a kindergarten teacher trapped with a class of five-year-olds in the middle of a zombie outbreak.

Dave, a burnt-out musician with no plan, volunteers to chaperone his nephew's farm trip mostly to impress Miss Caroline. It all goes sideways when a virus leaks from the military base next door. To keep the kids from panicking, she passes off the blood and the walking dead as a fun game and sings to them on her ukulele. Josh Gad plays a beloved children's TV host whose cheerful act collapses the second things get dangerous.

This Australian film won a screenwriting prize at Sundance and built a following on its odd mix of gore and tenderness. Expect mean laughs, a few Taylor Swift singalongs and Nyong'o swinging a shovel. Stream Little Monsters (2019) online on iFILM.
