Crapsaccharine World: The movie's pretty colorful despite all the children zombies trying to kill the teachers.

Combat Pragmatist: The teachers, who weaponize everyday elementary school objects such as jump ropes, cymbals, and baseball machines.He has terrible social skills, and doesn't even bat an eye when he realizes he wasn't wearing gloves when he examined Clint's fluids with his hands. That would be any parent's worst nightmare. Children Forced to Kill: The idea of children killing (let alone eating) innocent people.Childhood Brain Damage: It's safe to say that at least a good majority of the things wrong with Doug can be attributed to when he had a 6 inch spike lodged in his skull as a child.Chekhov's Skill: Wade's football skills help him get through a playground filled with zombie children.Cell Phones Are Useless: The vice principal confiscated all cell phones, which are later destroyed by Patriot.He tries so desperately to hide his blatant homosexuality that he comes across as a very Transparent Closet sort of character until near the end of the film. Camp Gay: Tracy, although he doesn't actually admit it until near the end.By the Hair: One kid pulls on the Patient Zeros pigtail and it comes off in his hand.Butt-Monkey: As seen in the trailer, Clint has a hard enough time getting respect from the students.Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Doug is a lunatic, but he's also a bonafide genius who is able to singlehandedly decipher everything relating to the virus over the course of the film.Black Dude Dies First: Played straight with a black male teacher, Averted with the black male student Calvin.Beware the Nice Ones: Lucy is all cheerful and friendly and seems like the most reasonable member of the group until she gets fed up with Wade's Jerk Jock behavior and she snaps at him and the rest of the group except Clint.Bastard Boyfriend: Wade has shades of this at first in regards to Lucy.All the teachers manage to hold their own against the students. Badass Teacher: A rare example where the students are the enemies.When he gets his face impaled at the end, you cheer, especially since he's a little shit as a zombie, too. Especially Patriot, the kid who calls Arabs, "towelheads," threatens to falsely claim Clint abused him, and bullies Shelley.A lot of the kids who eventually turn into zombies in this movie are pretty mean, so you won't be feeling sorry for them.
