Cooties completes our horror-comedy double feature this evening. One look at the picture (or the trailer) will confirm that this film has a cast to die for.
Rainn Wilson, Hugo from Lost, Napoleon Dynamite, Scott Pilgrim's drummer, that bloke out of Scream Queens and of course Frodo Baggins.
A rouge virus infects the chickens that are made into school meals and turns a group of school kids into insane flesh-eating zombies where the only people left standing are the teachers who have to defend themselves against the pint-sized terrors.
It's not the greatest film ever made but when you've got that level of comedy faces on one screen you just know that it's going to be a good ride. A cheap one, but a good one.
There are all sorts of running gags including pokes at the casts other films (Rainn Wilson calling Elijah Wood a Hobbit made milk come out my nose) a so-cliche-its-funny love triangle story, the obligatory stoner complete with imaginary animal friends and of course a bunch of zombie-kids running about ripping everyone's limbs off like a bargain bucket.
Mark this one up as "Sunday Afternoon Viewing" and enjoy it for the straight-to-video (literally) B-Movie it is.
