A darkly comedic action-horror romp that mines absurdist humor from the premise of zombie children, balancing genuine scares with irreverent fun.

A mysterious virus hits an isolated elementary school, transforming the kids into a feral swarm of mass savages. An unlikely hero must lead a motley band of teachers in the fight of their lives.
