Kindergartners dodge ravenous zombies in Little Monsters red band trailer ~ USA Latest Games

Lupita Nyong’o plays a kindergarten teacher protecting her kids from a zombie outbreak in Little Monsters.

It's turning out to be a very good year for zombie comedy. We had Jim Jarmusch's deadpan The Dead Don't Die in June, and the long-awaited Zombieland 2: Double Tap is coming this fall. And now we have the red band trailer for Little Monsters, Australian Director Abe Forsythe's new black comedy that debuted at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.

Kindergarten teacher Miss Caroline (Lupita Nyong'o) takes her young charges on a school field trip to Pleasant Valley Farm. Tagging along as a chaperone is Dave (Alexander England), a failed musician whose nephew is in her class. Dave has a romantic interest in Miss Caroline and is chagrined to discover that he has a rival for her affections: a famous children's TV personality, Teddy McGiggle (Josh Gad), who also happens to be at the farm organizing all the planned activities.

But something has gone terribly wrong at a nearby military base, and a zombie outbreak turns the innocent excursion into a bloody fight for survival. Miss Caroline, Dave, and Teddy join forces to make sure the kids don't get eaten—and hopefully aren't traumatized for life by the sight of the ravenous undead.
