About this movie

Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings) stars as the substitute teacher Clint Hadson whose first day on the job at his new elementary school turns into a killer…Literally! A virus spawned from a diseased chicken nugget quickly spreads through the school turning all the children into a swarm of savages. Hadson must unite a ragtag bunch of teachers who will have to band together in the fight of their lives in order to escape the school and the rampaging horde. Cooties is an infectious new comedy of epic proportions that also stars Alison Pill (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World) and Rainn Wilson (The Office).

Really wanted to like this film but it just lost its way the set up and concept is interesting but the tone is all over the shop and it just does not know what to do with itself. Got really bored and nearly turned off, kinda wish I had.

Cooties has a wonderful cast and a fun premise. Wood has one of the most interesting filmographies of his generation and once again he does a great job as the affable lead. Further, there are several laugh-out-loud moments amidst the gore in the first half. Sadly, the movie starts to run out of steam and it is quite clear the ending is not what the writers and directors intended upon. Worth a watch nonetheless.

What looked like a spoof horror film turns out to be a terrible attempt at being funny.Just too much gore and people not seeing the bloody obvious.Don't waste your money.
