Unfortunately, redundant, underdeveloped character development and an awkward attempt at giving Clint a love interest let down the script. Gore was nice, squishy and red and used sparingly, but to good effect. It made the experience more realistic and involving. I loved how the constant sounds of zombified children filled the background as the characters spoke, etc. Acting was great, as expected, considering the talent involved and cinematography also was very good. Though not laugh out loud funny, the interactions between characters and their dialog was witty and snappy, leaving you smirking like an idiot.
must flee through the halls to try and stay alive long enough for help to arrive… If it does…Ĭooties was an entertaining movie, no doubt. Clint and the surviving teachers find themselves trapped inside the school’s walls as the students rule the surrounding grounds, but not for long as the zombified students, who have some smarts to them over your typical zombie horde, breach the school’s walls, ravenous for adult brains.

To the story’s credit, things get going pretty quickly, and when the shit hits the fan we are treated to a playground full of festering children tearing teachers limb by limb and devouring their innards like a horrific all-you-can-eat buffet. Jack McBrayer is also part of the cast but he has very little lines and whenever he does have dialog it’s inconsequential or hinting that he is gay. When Clint arrives, the vice principal relays the “story convenience”– I mean, “no cell phone” rule and then Clint, and we, are introduced to the rest of the colourfully misfit teachers of the story, mainly being Rainn Wilson as Wade, the typical washed-up, testosterone filled gym teacher (though they do force a softer side later on), his girlfriend and Clint’s love interest, the always positive Lucy, played by Alison Pill and Doug (Leigh Whannell), the socially inept sex-ed teacher who has no tact and no qualms about going elbow deep in feces and brains. A teacher/writer who is likable enough to relate to, but is self-centered enough to spout his writing aspirations to anyone willing, and unwilling, to listen, even getting students to read chapters from his book in class, Clint has returned home from New York trying to write his first horror book but has taken up sub-teacher work at the very primary school he attended back in the day. Once we witness the chicken nugget infection via an intro of a very authentic chicken “preparation” that will make a vegetarian’s stomach churn, those who don’t like seeing the meat processing, er, process squeamish and those like me cheer with delight, we meet our “hero” Clint, played by the perpetually doe-eyed, Elijah Wood. You can easily leave your brain at the door with this film and just enjoy. So the low-down of Cooties in a disease ridden nutshell: Infected chicken nuggets are manufactured, consumed by school kids and said kids turn into zombies. I won’t say my expectations were high considering the star power and the production companies involved, but I will admit they weren’t low either… I’ve been waiting for the film to grace my eyeballs since my knowledge of its production a few years ago. Moreau, so when I was assigned Cooties, I was obviously excited. My favourite sub-genre in the vomit filled, limb torn, puss smeared, blood soaked rainbow that is horror, nothing makes me happier than to watch a film with gore and comedy spliced together like a bastard child of Dr. Review: As some of you may know, I love me some Comedy-Horror. Stars: Elijah Wood, Rainn Wilson, Alison Pill, Leigh Whannell
An unlikely hero must lead a motley band of teachers in the fight of their lives. A mysterious virus hits an isolated elementary school, transforming the kids into a feral swarm of mass savages.
