Comparison Of Cooties And Zombieland

545 Words3 Pages

Cooties was a rough start but a smooth finish. I really enjoy the standard zombie survival portion, but the lead in felt like to took forever. Which it really doesn't, it just feels that way. I've seen comparisons between this and Zombieland. Out of the two, Zombieland is far and away the better film. Other than zombies and it being a horror-comedies, the films have little to nothing in common. That said, Cooties isn't a bad film. In fact, it's kind of a good one.

The film owns with a sick chicken being slaughtered and turned into chicken nuggets. Which are sent off into the world to be consumed by kids like Shelly (Sunny May Allison). Which turns her into a zombie, though not instantly. Clint (Elijah Wood) is a struggling writer, who is also a substitute teacher. After moving back to his home town, Clint gets hired to substitutes at Fort Chicken Elementary School. Where his high school sweetheart Lucy (Alison Pill) works. The two catch-up and share some chemistry, when Wade (Rainn Wilson) the PE Teacher and Lucy's husband comes in and gets jealous. During class, one of Clint's students, full on zombie Shelly attacks the class bully Patriot (Cooper Roth). Biting Patriot's face and scratching Clints arm before escaping by running outside. Patriot is sent to the nurse and Clint continues with his day. During recess, newly transformed Patriot attacks and infects the other kids, each turning faster than the last. Soon the the child zombies descend upon the teachers killing them until Clint, Lucy, Wade along with Tracy (Jack McBrayer), Doug (Leigh …show more content…

Even when Cooties tries to get a strong sense of Dread, the constant comedy ruins its chances of building on up. Their are a handful of suspenseful moments, and some great references to the tropes within the genre. But Cooties never come across as foreboding and doesn't inspire any sense of fright or unease after or while

    My overall thoughts on this movie were I found the death scenes to be brutal, fun, and one of a kind definetly more then intense then the original. At the same time a little more comedic, which took away most elements of fear for me. I was totally digging the death scenes, with how clever each one was. Most parts I had my eyes covered, which is another thing that gets me into a good horror film. Black Christmas had intese scenes of stalking as well giving it fresh unbelieveable views that somebody is watching under a bathroom tile.
