Let the era of rollicking zombie movies commence! It may be too early to call a trend, but with impending arrival of both Zombieland: Double Tap and Little Monsters, we’re feeling these up-tempo undead vibes after a run of very serious entries in the genre. Monsters stars Lupita Nyong’o as a plucky schoolteacher who has to protect her young students from a sieging zombie horde while making them think the whole situation is one big game. Josh Gad is there, leaning into his maximum annoyance mode, and in addition to slaying zombies and keeping a positive attitude, Nyong’o gets to land a right cross on him in a cathartic moment for the folks at home. The new red-band also comes with a special treat: a U.S. release date! Little Monsters will live on Hulu, and it starts streaming on October 11.
