Cooties

Both effectively terrifying and hilarious.

While directors Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion want to have their laughs and horror, too, the film is something of a zombie itself: half-alive and bloody, but lacking any heart.

Though Cooties has a reasonable amount of laughs and frights, and though real teachers may find it an apt allegory for the zombielike charges in their classrooms, it’s not really funny enough to achieve grown-up cachet, and it’s too ugly and violent for younger viewers.

This is a movie in search of a finale.

The engaging opening third of Cooties is enough to make the rest of the 96-minute film a mildly amusing diversion, but as the minutes roll by, you'll wish the brains of the film had remained intact.

Without a buttress of cleverness, Cooties is mere freewheeling idiocy.

Cooties is a midnight movie for those fine with dozing off about twenty minutes in, once the charm of its single sentence log-line has worn off.

There's been a lot of zombie comedies out recently, but this has been stronger than most. The dialogue has a little more thought put to it. Well, directed, entire cast was strong especially screenwriter as weird teacher Doug.

For its production standards not a bad product. Some of the decent second tier horror and zombie movies were made in the 2015 and this is one of that. When the actors are in demand, we expect big from their movies, but this story suits for these actors. Because an average story looks better with guys are not in the watch-out list. So I was not surprised with the movie, but enjoyed the entertainment it offered. Rainn Wilson's the man of the movie, but as for the narration Elijah Woods stands on the front. In this, the children were the antagonist, but it is an R rated movie and nothing was so serious to consider. You know bashing kids kind of stuffs were carefully crafted. Comedy means not like you're going to get the loud ones, but simply acceptable for a change in the storytelling. If you exclude the zombie kids, the rest of the movie was nothing new. The same old adventure with the similar group of people who tries to survive the epidemic. Especially how it all begins was not logical, so you better not look for a proper explanation for those things. Even the runtime was well shorter than the 90 minutes that makes it sweet, Overall a fun movie, only if you accept what it delivers than what you want. 6/10

Goofy fun, but very forgettable and predictable. It will ruin chicken nuggets for you forever. It's not very scary and it's over the top, but most of the time, that's why it works.

Oh wow so edgy and fun, they said f word and did kids being rude and little stinkers its an epidemic. Elijah woods is adorable and did movie hobbit. So topical and hip. What a load of tacky lame offensive rubbish.

Zombies and comedy sometimes are a rare combination, although Shaun Of The Dead and Zombieland are good examples of when it works out. Cooties is not that bad and it manages to get you several laughs. Its purpose is to entertain and it does it in the most essential way.
