Review #141: Little Monsters (2019)
This review was originally written in October 2021. October 2021 Horror Movie Review #27- Little Monsters (2019) I was so confused watching this movie. Where's Fred Savage? Where's Howie Mandel? Nobody went under a single bed in the entire runtime! ...Just kidding. I only knew about this movie because I saw it on several "top 10 zombie movies" lists, so I went in with basically no expectations except that it was going to be good. I'm not sure what I WAS expecting, but whatever that was, I'm not sure I got it. This movie clearly started as a very specific story pitch- "What if a group of school children were caught in a zombie outbreak and their teacher had to try and distract them so they didn't realize they were in danger"- and then the finished product didn't stray very far from that premise. In that way, it succeeded? I guess? The thing is, I can tell this was meant to be a comedy (at least partially). I could see all of the intended humor...
