Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
mistoppi The setting of the movie is brilliant. There's always something creepy about zombie children. Yes, all zombies or infected or whatever is your preferred term for these horrifying creatures, are of course terrifying, but the children are even more so. It's like when children are singing in horror movies it's million times creepier. When ghosts are children, they are creepier. When any kind of monster in a horror movie is a kid, it's always like... yikes.The main characters are such a strange bunch, it's a delight. They are all such stereotypical teachers. There's that cheerful, happy teacher, grumpy coach, different kind of creepy teachers and that one sub who asks students to call him by his real name. They make a weird team of survivors, and they are freaking hilarious. Most of the humour comes from their archetypes, and of course the dialogue is amazing. It most often is in actually funny horror comedies. Cooties is funny and thrilling while it's also wonderfully disgusting. Also if the beginning of this movie won't make you a vegetarian, then nothing will.
Ellie Lou Start: The chicken slaughter sequence was quite disturbing and I don't think it really enhanced the film too much. Felt as if it was sponsored by a radical'meat is murder' group Middle: The film as a whole was really enjoyable and funny Ending: The ending really let the whole thing down. I understand they wanted to leave it open for a sequel, but there was no ending whatsoever. I was waiting for something catastrophic to happen and get resolved with a spooky plot twist but there was none of this. It fell completely flat. Even though I felt a bit disappointed I would still watch a sequel to give it a second chance of an ending.
Lars Bear In many respects this is a dreadful movie -- the biggest problem is almost inevitable: there's already a huge glut of mock-zombie schlock available, so it's difficult to do anything original. The plot is totally predictable, as are the usual bucketfulls of guts and gore.And yet...There's just a hint of something more here. First, there are some unexpectedly good acting performances, notably from Elijah 'Frodo' Wood. Second, some of the gags are just plain funny, and in a moderately intelligent, rather than slapstick, way.But third -- I've always had the slight impression that school-kids wouldn't need much persuasion to turn on their teachers and rend them limb from limb.
reallyevilboy Zombie movies through the ages can be measured. There are the the high times, from out of nowhere a zombie movie comes out and takes everyone by surprise. The world suddenly falls in love with zombie movies and film and television is flooded with zombie movies. A lot of them of outstanding quality. We go from a world with no zombie movies to a world ripe with zombie movies.Then there's more and more and more and as we start getting tired of the monotonous tirade of the walking dead on our screens they start getting cheaper and shittier. Suddenly we don't want to watch them. No longer are there any good zombie movies and all that remains are unentertaining, bad copies of what lay before. As though just by repeating a good theme badly people will want to follow.Suddenly it feels like an infection, ironically similar to the zombie virus and we need to get rid of it.Then finally we are rid of zombie movies, for about 20 or so years until they resurface again.This movie is proof that the golden age of zombie movies is over. It's not funny, it's not original. In fact it's actually a little painful to watch, the attempts of jokes that fail are more painful than the failed attempts of violence. At the end of the movie your whole face physically hurts from wincing for 80 minutes.Soon there will be no more zombie movies, the suffering will end.
