Critics Consensus

Led by typically outstanding work from Lupita Nyong'o, Little Monsters is a horror/rom-com hybrid that proves the zombie genre still has fresh brains to savor.

Kambole Campbell

NME (New Musical Express)

Brief moments of smarter, more intricate gags tease a more engaging watch, but one that is lost in the emotionally rote version we're presented with.

Rated: 2/5

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

The problem with the film for me is... beyond that joke, about yeah the attack is happening in a petting zoo, there really isn't that much to entertain.

Jeremy Aspinall

Radio Times

Firmly in the tradition of Shaun of the Dead but with a dash of School of Rock, this joyously irreverent horror comedy bursts with barbs, gags and gore galore.

Rated: 4/5

It might not be for everyone, and your enjoyment of the film could be judged by how much you like Josh Gad's performance. But for me, this was an absolute trip that I could see myself going on again and again like a lot of other films of its style.

The juxtaposition of cute kids, Miss Caroline’s incessant cheerfulness, and the occasional musical number against the darker aspects doesn’t quite work...

Rated: B-
