How to Stop a ‘Cooties’ Outbreak (Exclusive)
The Sundance hit Cooties will be one of the debut releases of the newly-launched Lionsgate Premiere label, which will release the film on September 18th in select theaters and on demand.
Bloody Disgusting landed this hilarious exclusive infographic video with voiceover from Jack McBrayer!
Jack McBrayer, who starred as perennially chipper network page Kenneth Parcell on the Primetime Emmy-winning sitcom “30 Rock,” savored his role as art teacher Tracy Simmons. “It sounded like super fun, plus I’ve never done a horror film before,” says McBrayer, who popularized his goofball persona on Late Night with Conan O’Brien.
“I usually just smile a lot and talk Southern,” adds the Georgia native. “On Cooties, I got to talk Southern and scream real big.”
Patrick Cooper called Cooties a “relentless riot.” We also reviewed the film out of last year’s Sundance Film Festival before the ending was reshot.
From the minds of Leigh Whannell (co-creator of Saw and Insidious) and Ian Brennan (co-creator of “Glee”), Cooties is a horror comedy with unexpected laughs and unapologetic thrills. When a cafeteria food virus turns elementary school children into little killer savages, a group of misfit teachers must band together to escape the playground carnage.
The film stars Elijah Wood (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings), Rainn Wilson (The Office), and Alison Pill (The Newsroom) as teachers who fight to survive the mayhem while hilariously bickering in an uncomfortable love triangle on the worst Monday of their lives.
