It can't boast enough thrills as it should for a horror comedy, but cooties is a solid, albeit cliché, gore fest with a great emphasis on awkward humour sided with a smattering of child monsters which crack some good scenes.

This film is also expertly shot if I must say. Directors Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion need to work on their resolutions of arcs and an overall message which will untie itself rather than leave the audience hanging.… Expand

Started off crazy funny, ended scary and zombie packed! Lots of cheap gore to go around though! Should watch it to the end, and the frog !F*cked! the caterpillar!

A slightly fresh take on a old Zombie film genre; I give cooties credit for giving a (basic) story behind the zombie plague.

The characters were mostly forgettable, but let's face it, most people who enjoy zombie films aren't always in it for top tier acting or a memorable story line.

Cooties is a funny, interesting take on a dying movie genre. They take some risks, but never enough to actually make you ever regret watching the film. Some people have taken offence to the fact children are the main target of the virus and movie violence, to them I simply say "get over it ****… Expand

With all the zombie movies and TV shows vying for your eyeballs, its hard to bring something new to the table. Cooties is a zombie movie made by horror fans for horror fans, open ended for sequels and maybe a prequel, a good amount of gore, terrifying monsters and just enough standard horror tropes and winking at the cast's better known works. Written by SAW co-creator Leigh Whannell and co-creator of Glee, Ian Brennan, Cooties balances the mundanity of summer school with the fear of a pandemic. It all starts with a tainted chicken nugget which gets one of the students sick and the teachers are so self-interested, they don't notice the world has caught on fire around them. The movie is good, though not perfect, some of the characters are pretty thin, like Nasim Pedrad's Rebekkah introducing herself to Elijah Wood's Clint, by pointing out the Anti-Rape alarm she has clipped to her coat, in lieu of being able to have a concealed carry pistol, she does little but plays a brash female teacher you almost are waiting for her to get her ankles chewed off by a horde of the infected children. We find out midway through, the virus that turns the students into kind of a 28 Days Later, Rage Zombies, only affects pre-pubescent children, from a bite or scratch. Leigh Whannell also plays a socially aloof science teacher, reading a "How to have normal conversations" handbook, when we first see him, named Doug, who is intent on dissecting one of the children, giving the go ahead to stop the tiny terrors by any means possible, as the zombie virus has destroyed the parts of the brain that make the kids human anymore.

Cooties centers around Elijah Wood's character, returning home to Fort Chicken, Indiana, as he's attempting to return to his roots and work on his first novel, a shoddy version of Stephen King's Christine with a boat instead of a car. Clint has taken a job as a substitute teacher at his old elementary school where he catches up with his old paramour, Lucy, played by Alison Pill, only to find out she's dating the school's P.E. Teacher, Rainn Wilson's Wade. The love triangle has some push and pull but in the dire situation the group of survivors are faced with, as they find the infection goes well beyond the boundaries of the school.

If you love horror, Catch Cooties

It was violent, well acted, well made, funny and entertaining. Cooties isn't the most original zombie/contaminated movie and it's not the best either, but it sure as hell is a fun movie to watch.
