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.

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.

Rated: 1.5/4

Globe and Mail

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

Fat Guys at the Movies

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

Rated: 1.5/4

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 2.5/4

An enjoyable comedy horror. Sometimes you just need to lower down your expectations to enjoy

Quite possibly the most ridiculous zombie comedy movie I've ever seen. I loved it. The ending was rather sudden, but that's the only issue I had with the movie.

Not as awful as people let on but there are 100% better options when it comes to zombie movies. This film attempts to be a zombie-comedy, with the protagonists being stuck in a school overrun by infected children. The humor falls flat 99.9% of the time and you'll find yourself wishing you were watching Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland instead quite honestly. But with all that being said, it kept my attention and I enjoyed it far more than the awful "Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse". Also, it's always a pleasure to see Rainn Wilson in anything. Love that guy.

It's SO TERRIBLE in the best way. if you're looking for high quality go somewhere else in terms of movies. If you wanna watch something gory and super unserious and full of Goofy plot holes **this** is gonna be your movie. it's so so bad in the best way in my opinion. I will forever love this abominational excuse for a film ♡

A pointless movie that kept me entrained until the end. The ending was too much for this unserious film and the love story here is a confusing puzzle.

How is that Frodo and Harry get involved so often in these weird projects?
