We now have the official festival poster for Cooties, which will be playing as part of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, taking place January 16-26 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah.
World Premiering in the “Park City at Midnight” section, Saw and Insidious‘s Leigh Whannell writes and stars in the film with Elijah Wood, Rainn Wilson, Alison Pill, Jack McBrayer, Leigh Whannell, and Nasim Pedrad.
“A mysterious virus hits a small Illinois town, affecting only the prepubescent population, transforming them into violent, feral little monsters. The virus centralizes in the town’s elementary school, and quickly the infected students have the teaching staff under siege, acting out deadly revenge fantasies with an eerie sense of childlike glee. Finally, the teachers band together, led by a hapless substitute who grew up in the town, realizing they must do the unthinkable if they hope to survive.”
Co-directed by Jonathan Millott and Cary Murnion, check out the first images!
Here’s the full line-up for Park City at Midnight.
Poster designed by Jaw Shaw of Kingdom of Nonsense.
