Cooties Trailer

Everyone knows fourth grade school children can be little monsters, but what happens when things get way too literal? That's what a bunch of unwitting teachers are about to discover on a seemingly normal working day. Clint Hadson is a substitute teacher who arrives at an elementary school already nervous of what lies ahead. But when some of the children start erupting in strange hives and violently lashing out at each other, it begins to become clear that a horrific virus has hit every pre-pubescent person in the building causing them to launch a vicious, flesh eating assault on their teachers. The grown-ups lock themselves away from the danger and meet one young boy who seems to have evaded the disease. It appears to be a food-borne epidemic resulting from lunchtime's chicken nuggets, and it looks like they're not the only school in the nation with problem pupils...

The zombie-comedy genre is re-born once again in this elementary school horror which sees carnage in the playground. Produced by and starring Elijah Wood, the movie has been directed by Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion, and written by Leigh Whannell ('Insidious', 'Saw') and Ian Brennan ('Scream Queens', 'Glee'). 'Cooties' is set for release in the US on September 18th 2015.
