cineamo "Cooties" could have been amazing but instead it is not. The plot is simple enough but somehow the action and dialog aren't sharp or funny and the actors seem as if they are working per diem, with one exception. Rainn Wilson is the only actor who makes an attempt to inhabit his character fully.It would also have helped if the story had been consistent. If the the children's brains were undergoing necrosis, their thinking ability should have been nonexistent. Instead, the second child to be infected is shown destroying cell phones and turning off the school's electricity, as if he is intending to keep the adults in a vulnerable state. Movie zombies don't do this (at least, none that I've seen).Lastly, the frequent and violent scenes where zombie children are killed make this film uncomfortable to watch. It is irrelevant that they are supposed to be zombies. The killing or injuring of any child is NOT entertainment.

zaneyfoyle Cooties delivers an interesting opening scene, but then turns into silly nonsense that doesn't satisfy a lot horror fans, with forgettable characters and a story which no one will remember. At times it is funny and entertaining, but there are many movies that are way better than this Sci fi horror flick.

Ellie Lou Start: The chicken slaughter sequence was quite disturbing and I don't think it really enhanced the film too much. Felt as if it was sponsored by a radical'meat is murder' group Middle: The film as a whole was really enjoyable and funny Ending: The ending really let the whole thing down. I understand they wanted to leave it open for a sequel, but there was no ending whatsoever. I was waiting for something catastrophic to happen and get resolved with a spooky plot twist but there was none of this. It fell completely flat. Even though I felt a bit disappointed I would still watch a sequel to give it a second chance of an ending.

LordJiggy 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.
