Powerful

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The acting in this movie is really good.

Working as a relief teacher at his old primary school proves unexpectedly challenging for an aspiring writer when a viral disease turns the students into zombie-like creatures in this amusing horror- comedy. While there is a lot of interest in the notion of adults having to kill children to survive, 'Cooties' is actually at its best in the moments before it turns into a full-blown horror film. The awkwardness of working in a new school, the insolence of unmotivated students and the overzealous nature of certain staff members are acutely captured and placed under a sharp satirical hammer. The story has highly metaphorical qualities too, almost existing as a manifestation of all of the protagonist's fears and anxieties about returning to his home town and feeling like he is going backwards by going back to primary school. There is an especially memorable dialogue exchange where he expresses jealousy towards his first grade students with their lives all ahead of them. As 'Cooties' plods on though, this satirical edge soon becomes second to the bloodshed and gore with the film often feeling like a standard zombie plague flick in its second half. There is, however, a really solid climax with deliriously multi-coloured lights and the pseudoscience regarding the plague is always interesting with a health teacher who hilariously finds the plague more medically fascinating than scary.

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.

Cooties delivers an interesting opening scene, but then turns into silly nonsense that doesn't satisfy a lot horror fans, with forgettable characters and a story which no one will remember. At times it is funny and entertaining, but there are many movies that are way better than this Sci fi horror flick.

Personally, I believe the plot of this movie was exceptional. I love horror movies and the movie was pretty good.Until the ending, where they don't even solve the virus. They just drive off, leaving all these blood-hungry children on the loose. I mean, at least find a cure or something?Other than that, it was pretty good. I would recommend it to a horror fan.
