Some movies only take a single sentence to pitch and you instantly understand exactly what you're going to get. So here's the simple pitch for a new horror comedy: What if the cooties was an actual virus that turned kids into zombies and a bunch of elementary school teachers had to fight them off?
That's a pretty great idea all on its own, but when you throw in Elijah Wood, Alison Pill, Rainn Wilson, Nasim Pedrad, Jack McBrayer and Leigh Whannell, Cooties becomes something truly special.
Cooties actually first premiered at Sundance 2014, but since then Lionsgate has given the filmmakers the resources to shoot a new ending (their choice), and having recently seen the world premiere of that version at the Stanley Film Festival, we can attest that the whole thing is a ton of fun.
The trailer barely scratches the surface of how entertaining Cooties is, so look for more from us on the movie in the coming months ahead of its September 18, 2015 release.
