What to Know

Critics Consensus

A horror-comedy without enough of either, Cooties is fatally content to skate by on its intriguingly oddball premise.

I honestly have no clue who this film is for. Whoever they are, they're likely to walk out of the theater wanting a refund. Go to Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com 09/18/2015
1.5/4
A midnight movie for those fine with dozing off about twenty minutes in, once the charm of its single sentence log-line has worn off. Go to Full Review Barry Hertz Globe and Mail 09/18/2015
2.5/4
While directors Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion want to have their laughs and horror, too, the film is something of a zombie itself: half-alive and bloody, but lacking any heart. Go to Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies 09/02/2022
1.5/4
It doesn’t commit enough to make the premise pop and ends up reaching for jokes and sinking into bad taste. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 05/27/2022
2.5/4
Extreme gore and a silly sense of humor combine into an often funny but ultimately forgettable experience. Go to Full Review Travis Johnson sbs.com.au 10/24/2021

Red in D @redindenver 2d I gave this movie 1-1/2 stars only because I like Elijah Wood, whose talent was wasted here. And because it is fairly original (bloodthirsty, cannibal grade schoolers going after the oddball faculty). I didn't laugh or even SMILE at any of what was (at least I THINK it was) supposed to be funny. I think the humor would probably have appealed to me when I was very young. See more Lauren R @Llouisero May 24 Dark comedy classic! I don't think I've ever laughed so hard! It's perfection tbh lol. I don't understand all the bad reviews - no sense of humor I guess! Plus, if Elijah Wood is ever in a movie, you know it's gonna be a banger. See more Peyton W @CCHS_Football_2834 Feb 12 This movie is gruesome and its very good and funny See more Madam D @Madam1948 Feb 2 3.25 stars. Pretty funny having the zombies be kids. And their teachers have to escape from them. Some of the comedic lines were really good. Not bad at all, much better than I thought it would be. See more J T @Nevermindthnx Jan 1 It's not everyday you will see a movie as original as this! See more iamnotanumber41 T @Iamnotanumber41 Sep 23 Started watching this one than realized half way through that I’d already seen it. It really is that forgettable. If you want to see mindless zombie kills you’ll like this one more than me. If you want to something to fall asleep too this one is not for you. The sound for this is poorly mixed.
