In the delightfully twisted horror-comedy Cooties, a mysterious outbreak turns a quiet elementary school into a war zone when a tainted batch of chicken nuggets transforms the students into bloodthirsty, zombie-like creatures. Elijah Wood stars as Clint, a hapless substitute teacher who finds himself trapped in the school alongside a motley crew of eccentric educators, including the jaded Lucy ( Alison Pill), the macho Wade ( Rainn Wilson), and the nerdy Doug ( Jack McBrayer). As the ravenous children swarm the hallways, these mismatched adults must put aside their petty rivalries and use whatever makeshift weapons they can find to survive. The film masterfully balances gory horror with sharp, irreverent humor, creating a tense yet laugh-out-loud atmosphere that never takes itself too seriously. With a clever premise and a talented ensemble cast that also includes Jorge Garcia and Nasim Pedrad, the movie delivers a fresh and outrageous take on the zombie genre, exploring the absurdity of adults being terrorized by the very children they are supposed to teach.
