Leave your thoughts about Little Monsters.
| Total FilmJordan FarleyProving there’s life in the zom-com yet, Forsythe’s down under rib-tickler might just be 2019’s funniest film. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattIt’s Nyong’o who makes Monsters worth spending 90 breezy, bloody minutes on; wielding her tiny guitar like she did a fateful pair of scissors earlier this year in Jordan Peele’s "Us," she’s both a warrior queen and a fallible, believable human woman — and never not a movie star in every scene. |
| Consequence of SoundMichael RoffmanLittle Monsters oozes with heart and soul, making for an ultra likable, last-minute addition to a genre that should be buried 12-feet under in the near future. |
| EmpireChris Hewitt (1)A very pleasurable surprise, with likeable leads, the right amount of gore, and some incredible near-the-knuckle gags that you can’t quite believe writer-director Forsythe even attempts, let alone gets away with. Far better than the 1989 Fred Savage-Howie Mandel movie of the same name. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoLittle Monsters is a must-see horror comedy that proves Lupita Nyong'o should be starring in far more horror movies than she's been offered at this point. |
| Los Angeles TimesNorman GidneyNot since Shaun of the Dead has there been such a consistently uproarious zombie movie. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichThe action that clutters the last hour of this movie is never compelling enough to feel like anything more than a bloody distraction, but the characters vibe together so well on their own terms that the walking dead only need to provide an existential threat. |
| The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyLittle Monsters irreverently builds enough good will and comic energy in the early-going to carry it to its conclusion, so it’s bound to gather a cult of some dimension. |
| VarietyAmy NicholsonThe paradox of "Little Monsters" is that it’s so guileless in its story and execution, it could have been made for kids, except for the disembowelings. Still, Nyong’o not only survives the film with her dignity intact, the audience might exit admiring her more. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawThe pure silliness of this idea is enjoyable. The children give guileless performances, and Nyong’o gamely plays the broad comedy for all its worth. |
