I cannot believe living in the UK we got this film before the US release date which is in December.
I had the privilege of watching it last week and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
With the whole story happening through one school day,with it being Clint's unfortunate first day at the school, as he is temping to get money,so he can write his first horror novel . We have the usual not being nice to the new guy,with the usual stereotypes,the socially awkward teacher, the feminist man hating teacher,who carries a rape alarm with her everywhere, and the closet Gay teacher, and the Jock who is the P.E teacher.
Anyway being a small town,which is famous for its chicken products, a small batch of chicken nuggets are contaminated somehow, which has an unfortunate effect on prepubescent children, which turns them into adult eating, blood thirsty killers.
That is the film, a comedy film that is very violent and actually has real moments of tension, with the teachers having to decide to hide or to fight,with the latter being the decided option, as the children eat all there parents at pick up time at 3 PM.
I really did enjoy this film, with the ratio of comedy to violence working really well, it has real moments of humour, to some gross scenes also. With an on form Elijah Wood, who actually almost never starred in this, as his production company SpectreVision produced this film, with easily the best, and funniest character going to Rain Wilson, who is not unfamiliar to comedy, as he starred in the U.S. version of The Office.
I can heartedly recommend this film. It is funny, gory, has moments of genuine tension and is a great film to watch. Easily 3/5 stars for me.
