Enjoyably Fun Black Comedy where anyone Pre-Puberty succumbs to a Zombie Virus from Locally Farmed Chicken Nuggets .
Gorey,Violent,Gross and Funny . well worth a second watch .

Highly enjoyable, fun and timely comedy horror with Elijah Wood - Cooties review by PV
I really enjoyed this. The script is sharp and even made me laugh out loud a couple of times. The characters fun. Very tongue-in-cheek.
Made in 2014 and about pollution at a chicken factories infecting people - and in 2012 The Bay was a movie also showing how pollution from a chicken factory destroys a town via similar infection. Then later The Girl With All The Gifts is another child zombie infection shtick. All 3 films are a decent watch.
I liked the characters - all OTT and caricature. Except perhaps the druggie driver who seems a bit superfluous. Elijah Wood even gets to laugh at himself with a Hobbit gag.
OK so it sags a tad towards the end. As an odd plot hole here in that with a virus supposedly only infecting pre-pubertal kids, a boy kept down a year is clearly adolescent yet infected. But hey, maybe he had a growth spurt during production eh?
Slightly surprised it is made in LA as it seems more an indy production, often made in Canada. Set in Illinois.
This all ultimately works because of a decent script which is way better and funnier than most comedy horror scripts.
4 stars. 1 star off sure to the third act sag. Acts 1 and 2 are 5 star.
