Cooties (2014)
7/10
Solid Horror Comedy
22 October 2018
This one is still a hell of a lot of fun. I'm not 100% sure I enjoyed it as much this time around as I did my first viewing, but it's still damn good. This one I think falls way more on the comedy side of things than the horror side, but it has some fun moments. The characters are overdone portrayals of people we all know. That's part of what makes it fun. The stereotypes are played to full effect in an unabashed way. That mixed with some overzealous tropes makes this a very easy to digest fun ride.

The technical aspects of the film are well done and the acting is very good. If you like gore, there are actually some decent moments. While not too crazy, it's solid in that department.

While the aforementioned overdone character portrayal is great and what makes the film work. It's also part of some of the more meh moments of the film. Some of it gets played out quick and becomes almost annoying. It far from ruins the film or anything, but I wish they would have reigned in some of those aspects just a little bit.

If you like good horror comedy this is one to check out. This is the type of film you can appreciate as a horror lover, but I think non-horror lovers could appreciate as well.

My Rating: 6.5/10
