"Playtime is over."

From Aussie filmmaker Abe Forsythe (Down Under) comes this horror rom-com that blends zombies with dry humor.

Dave (Alexander England), a washed-up musician, volunteers to chaperone his nephew’s kindergarten field trip after taking a shine to the plucky schoolteacher, Miss Caroline (Lupita Nyong'o). Dave’s intentions are complicated by the presence of world-famous child entertainer and competitor for Miss Caroline’s affections, Teddy McGiggle (Josh Gad). One thing none of them bargained for, however, is a sudden zombie outbreak, from which Dave and Miss Caroline must protect the children.

Plot summary from IMDb: A washed-up musician teams up with a teacher and a kids show personality to protect young children from a sudden outbreak of zombies.
