Critics Consensus

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

C-

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.

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.

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.

1.5/4

It doesn’t commit enough to make the premise pop and ends up reaching for jokes and sinking into bad taste.

2.5/4

Extreme gore and a silly sense of humor combine into an often funny but ultimately forgettable experience.

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.

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.

one of my favorite movies, if you dont like this movie you just need some wood or cooch in your life. everything about it, from the dry humor to the great acting from the kid actors - it’s superb. the chemistry of the characters is everything, its like another version of zombieland. hilarious movie i laugh all the way through every time and i’ve watched it at least 5 times in the last two years. its like a guilty pleasure, whenever i see it pop up on tubi im watching it immediately with some popcorn. i wish there were more movies like this bc. they’re my favorite kind of gory flicks
