Cooties (2015)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Awesome Movie

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

To start with, the movie has great laughs and great gore. I loved all the cheeky bits with the children playing with remains. In fact, if there was one thing I didn't like about this movie, it's the opening credits. Without going too far into detail, we're shown chickens being processed and made into chicken nuggets. And those who know what happens during processing would know how disturbing that is (especially if you're an animal lover like me). I mean, couldn't they just show the already-processed chicken being made into chicken nuggets? As long as you see the one black nugget, then it would probably work fine too. To be honest, the opening credits really took me out of the mood of even seeing the movie (and if I'm being completely honest, the only reason I wanted to watch it was because of Leigh Whannell being in it *he was hilarious*). The opening credits are something a malicious vegan would show to someone if they wanted to make them vegan. It freaked me out so much that I can't go to sleep without my TV on. Anyway, overall, the movie was a good mix of funny and gory, but be sure you can handle seeing chickens being processed.

The best bit about Cooties is the title sequence as maggot infested chicken meat is processed and turned into chicken nuggets and consumed by a schoolgirl as school lunch.The only other bit the viewer might like depending on your mileage is schoolkids attacking and devouring the school teachers or alternatively teachers sadistically beating up the crazed infected kids.Elijah Wood has descended so much from his The Lord of the Rings days. He plays Clint a struggling author who has come back to live with his mom and substitutes as a teacher at the local school.At least he has a memorable first day as a mysterious virus grips the schoolkids turning them into blood crazed monsters as the teachers are trapped inside.Cooties is supposed to be a comedy horror but it is a poorly structured film, a lot of the action is in the dark in order to save on the budget. I found the teachers irritating and I was upset that the Wade character was not the first one to be ripped apart.

I actually really enjoyed this. I'm not a massive fan of Elijah Wood and it's not of the calibre of say, the Scary Movie series, but this was a good film.It may not have the best plot or a big budget, but it was quite funny. You certainly won't be bored watching it, it will certainly entertain you and that's the reason we watch films. Plenty of laughs and over the top cheesy gore that will make you say 'eww' whilst giggling.The opening scenes might be enough to turn some people vegetarian.I'm not sure why but the scene with the kid skipping with the intestines really made me howl.Certainly worth a watch and for the entertainment value, the price is a steal.

In an era when the zombie trope is close to becoming overplayed and hackneyed this film does nothing to save the genre. Once considered horror films zombie movies have transitioned to comedy, perhaps originally in the recent era thanks to Pegg and Frost's brilliant 'Sean of the Dead.' However Cooties fails as both a horror movie and as a horror comedy.Elijah Wood looks very much like Frodo Baggins after a haircut and the rest of the cast are nobodies who don't lend much to an already thin plot line. Credit does go to Leigh Whannel for playing the socially awkward 'brains of the bunch' well although this is not enough to save the film.The alleged hook of this film is that the zombies are all children, those having survived puberty not being vulnerable to the virus. Anyone would think that a horde of zombie kids running amok in a school would be enough for gore filled laughs whilst conforming to the standard pattern of zombie movies the world over. However the laughs are few and far between. The film also tries to be scary and is filled with many of the clichés of any horror flick since the invention of film. Yet these elements of the movie are forced at best and a long way from striking terror into the hearts of the viewer. That none of the main characters come close to dying also removes any remaining facade of credibility to this turkey of a film.I do not recommend this film at all. 3/10
