This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Clint (Elijah Wood) goes to his old school, Fort Chicken elementary school, Illinois (GO FIGHTING ROOSTERS!) as a substitute teacher. He meets Lucy (Alison Pill) an old friend who has trouble with normal conversations. Her boyfriend is the PE teacher Wade (Rainn Wilson) who owns a truck with duo rear wheels. The film introduces us to a number of quirky characters and kids that are not that adorable. Due to a viral breakout caused by processed chicken nuggets (I tossed mine out after seeing how nuggets are made from pink paste) the children turn into blood thirsty zombies who attack in hordes with some limited mental capacities.The film spoofs formula writing: dress up montage; guy who is way too smart; self-sacrifice individual; climbing through the vent duct; and a reference to a previous film..."Sneak around like a little Hobbit."This is a funny zombie style cult film.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

The setting of the movie is brilliant. There's always something creepy about zombie children. Yes, all zombies or infected or whatever is your preferred term for these horrifying creatures, are of course terrifying, but the children are even more so. It's like when children are singing in horror movies it's million times creepier. When ghosts are children, they are creepier. When any kind of monster in a horror movie is a kid, it's always like... yikes.The main characters are such a strange bunch, it's a delight. They are all such stereotypical teachers. There's that cheerful, happy teacher, grumpy coach, different kind of creepy teachers and that one sub who asks students to call him by his real name. They make a weird team of survivors, and they are freaking hilarious. Most of the humour comes from their archetypes, and of course the dialogue is amazing. It most often is in actually funny horror comedies. Cooties is funny and thrilling while it's also wonderfully disgusting. Also if the beginning of this movie won't make you a vegetarian, then nothing will.

Personally, I believe the plot of this movie was exceptional. I love horror movies and the movie was pretty good.Until the ending, where they don't even solve the virus. They just drive off, leaving all these blood-hungry children on the loose. I mean, at least find a cure or something?Other than that, it was pretty good. I would recommend it to a horror fan.

Wow, this "comedy" was unwatchable almost from the start, but I gutted it out (as it were) for about 40 minutes before turning it off and begging the gods to send ravens to pluck out my eyes so that I'd never have to watch something so execrable again.Yeah, I wasn't impressed.Your almost guaranteed tip-off that a film is going to be creatively lazy and kool-kidz masturbatory media is when it has a "Christian" character is who is a complete caricature or, even more originally, a hypocrite (yuck, yuck, just like all the kool-kidz know they are). This particular piece of cut-and-paste mastery of the "everybody knows" tropes featured the Christian woman teacher as a gun-lovin', rape-fearin', foul-mouthed harridan. Wow, there's a character we've never seen before. Then there were the other sparkling bits o' wit, like the obnoxious, abusive school kid named "Patriot" who was born on September 11 and when he turned 18 is going to become a Marine so he could kick some "towel-head ass." Oh, Noel Coward just wishes he had the faintest hint of the skill of the screenwriter of this vomitous collection of left-wing goodthink clichés about the Un-Kool Kidz.Do not waste your time, and don't even have pity for Elijah Wood, who somehow was convinced to appear in this festering cinematic abomination.
