And there it is, this year's completely underrated sleeper hit.Clint (Elijah Wood) does not have his shit together. He is trying to write a horror novel but not even his mom likes it and he's forced to take a job as a substitute teacher for summer at the elementary school he used to go to as a kid. Good: he reconnects with Lucy (Alison Pill), the girl he's had a crush on forever. Bad: she has a boyfriend, the douchey P.E. teacher, Wade (Rainn Wilson). Worse: mutated chicken nuggets have turned all the children into rampaging rage-zombies.
Oh, man. This movie perfectly encapsulated all the things I hate about children and then gave me an outlet to reasonably cheer for their extermination. If you've ever needed to see a twelve-year-old just absolutely smashed in the face by a baseball, this is your movie. And hey, who hasn't? I'm sure your children are wonderful, but all children? Other people's children? No judgement. They're zombies. Fuck 'em. Aim for the head.
I laughed my ass off the entire time it was on. A++, would definitely watch again. It is on Hulu and it is amazing.
