Cooties (2014)
6/10
Lost Between Horror and Comedy
16 October 2015
The teacher and aspirant writer Clint Hadson (Elijah Wood) returns from New York to the house of his mother in Ft. Chicken, Illinois, to write a horror novel and work as substitute in the local elementary school. He meets his former schoolmate and crush Lucy McCormick (Alison Pill), who is also a teacher and is dating the strong teacher Wade Johnson (Rainn Wilson). Meanwwhile the student Shelly Linker (Sunny May Allison) eats a chicken nugget contaminated with a virus. During Clint's class, Shelley is bullied by the boy Patriot (Cooper Roth) and bites him on the face. During the playtime, the infection is spread in the yard among the students that eat the school staff. Soon the teachers find under siege of the zombie students. Will they survive the attack?

"Cooties" is an independent film lost between horror and comedy. The scenes supposed to be funny are actually unfunny and the only freshness of the story is the virus attacking inly child. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Cooties: A Epidemia" ("Cooties: The Epidemic")
