Horror Film Review #4

Cooties



If the tagline read an infectious good time,  Cooties would fits the bill; The movie features an all star of television actors stemming from Hawaii 5-0, The Newsroom, Wilfred, and 30 Rock and it features one of the creators of the Insidious and Saw movies.
The Premise is pretty simple a small town in the Midwest is faced with a viral pandemic affecting its children, Its Children of the Corn meets The Walking Dead, thanks to a shipment of tainted Chicken nuggets which at a certain point in the movie serves as a double entendre.  The adults represent a cascade of middle american stereotypes, of whom also represent the teaching faculty.  The children at the beginning of the movie were not portrayed as a wholesome bunch either, they were more reminiscent to the feeding of a cute Mogwai after midnight and being plagued with Gremlins in the wake of such an action.  The pace of the movie picks up to a frenzy, and allows the core audience, to feel the tension as teacher's window of escape begins to dwindles as the night begins to fall.









There is strong language and graphic violence,
13 and older is the general rating or adult accompaniment would best describe the choice of the ratings board towards this film.   Its a pretty decent film to watch with the family, and has a smooth and tight script that doesn't drag or feel like low point.
