The horror/comedy COOTIES is a movie I was sold on as soon as I heard the insanity of its plot synopsis:
When a cafeteria food virus turns elementary school children into killer zombies, a group of misfit teachers must band together to escape the playground carnage.
The cast that directors Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion assembled to portray said misifit teachers makes it all the more enticing. Elijah Wood, Rainn Wilson, Alison Pill, Jack McBrayer, Nasim Pedrad, Jorge Garcia, and the film's screenwriters, Leigh Whannell and Ian Brennan, fighting mini-zombies? Bring it on!
With its concept and cast, I can't help but watch COOTIES on opening day, and luckily that isn't very far away at this point. Lionsgate Premiere is releasing the film in select theatres and on VOD September 18th.
In anticipation of the film's debut, posters and promotional images have been released that introduce us to our unlikely zombie slayers, characters I can't wait to see in action.
