‘Little Monsters’ Trailer: It’s Lupita Nyong’o Vs. Zombies In Hulu’s Horror Comedy
Have you ever wanted to see Academy Award winnerLupita Nyong’osmash some zombie skulls with a shovel? Look no further than the trailer forLittle Monsters, a new horror comedy in which she plays a kindergarten teacher who must fight to save her students when a zombie outbreak happens during a field trip. Hulu scooped up the movie after it premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, but read on to find out how you can see it in a theater for one day only before it lands on the streaming service.
Little Monsters Trailer
Little Monstersis written and directed byAbe Forsythe(Down Under), and played at both Sundance and the South by Southwest Film Festival earlier this year. I caught it at Sundance and wasn’t overly impressed by it, but /Film’s Ethan Anderton found a lot more to enjoy. Here’s a quick excerpt fromhis review:
Nyong’o is unquestionably the shining star of this film, and she co-stars withAlexander England, who plays the protagonist Dave (who barely gets any screen time in this trailer), andJosh Gad, who plays a child entertainer who’s so vulgar and awful that he’d bootFrozen’s Olaf the snowman into the sun without a second thought if the opportunity presented itself.
Here’s the film’s official synopsis:
Dave (Alexander England), a washed-up musician, volunteers to chaperone his nephew’s kindergarten field trip after taking a shine to the plucky schoolteacher, Miss Caroline (Lupita Nyong’o). Dave’s intentions are complicated by the presence of world-famous child entertainer and competitor for Miss Caroline’s affections, Teddy McGiggle (Josh Gad). One thing none of them bargained for, however, is a sudden zombie outbreak, from which Dave and Miss Caroline must protect the children.
Little Monsterswill be available to stream on Hulu onOctober 11, 2019, but it’s also getting a special one night only theatrical release on August 01, 2025, which includes a live-stream Q&A with Forsythe, Nyong’o, and England. Tickets for that are available atLilMonstersMov.com.
