Cooties
A mysterious virus hits an isolated elementary school, transforming the kids into a feral swarm of mass savages. An unlikely hero must lead a motley band of teachers in the fight of their lives.
Why it matters
A gleefully gory riff on the zombie outbreak trope that turns playground chaos into a savage survival scramble.
- Rainn Wilson’s offbeat charm anchors a cast of underdog teachers facing off against ravenous kids gone feral.
- Balances gross-out practical effects with sharp, dark comedy—think George A. Romero meets Superbad.
- Subverts the “kids are innocent” horror trope by weaponizing childhood anarchy into full-on body horror mayhem.
- Best for fans who dig zombie madness with a side of irreverence and don’t mind an uneven narrative in exchange for inventive creature design.
