For some time we have been awaiting news on a proper 2015 release. Cooties had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 2014 but failed to find a 2014 general release anywhere. The horror comedy marks the feature film directorial debut for directors Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion. In Cooties, Whannell again plays another character “Doug”, a socially inept science teacher. Whannel wrote the first installment of Saw (2004), co-wrote the second and third installments of the franchise, and appeared as the character “ Adam Stanheight” in four of the installments. Whannell made his directorial debut on Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015).

Leigh Whannell is already known for writing films directed by his friend James Wan, including Saw (2004), Dead Silence (2007), Death Sentence (2007), Insidious (2011) and Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013). If the name of one of the co-writers sounds familiar, that’s because you have more than likely viewed his material before. The trailer seems brilliant and a lot of fun! There’s a fun comedic cast and I am definitely looking forward to seeing Jorge Garcia (yes….Dude! The awesome Hurley from LOST!). It may even provide some preparatory advice for teachers who may encounter such an apocalyptic scenario in their place of work! It’s teachers versus students, with Wood, Wilson, and Pill fighting for their lives against cannibalistic youngsters at the educational establishment known as Fort Chicken Elementary. The film hilariously seems to demonstrate that kids can literally turn into little monsters. It’s a zombie comedy movie about kids who become infected with a virus and turn into bloodthirsty monsters. In Cooties, A band of teachers must fight for their lives when a mysterious virus hits an isolated elementary school, transforming the kids into a feral swarm of mass savages. However……… it has a more ‘real and deadly’ meaning in the context of the following film. It is typically used in the context of a tease or playground taunt either in a cruel or playful way. Usually it is a phrase that little boys accuse little girls of having and vice versa E.g “ now you’ve got girl cooties“. The phrase is most commonly used by children. Often the “infected” person is someone who is perceived as “different”, such as being of the opposite sex, shy, or who displays peculiar behaviours or mannerisms.

A child is said to “catch” cooties through close contact of an “infected” person or from a person of the opposite sex of the same age. ‘Cooties’ is a pseudo-germ and fictional childhood disease used as a rejection term, typically used in the USA and Canada, and is similar to the term known as the dreaded ‘Lurgi’ as more commonly used in the UK. We all know what Cooties are right? No…? Well in true teacher form, here is some information before we dig a little deeper into this long overdue release of a movie. However, what if a zombie-like apocalypse hits and I’m faced with learners who are now incapable of rational and independent thought and are no longer present on the register to be intellectually nourished but instead are now eager and hungry for my brains? That’s where the horror movie comedy ‘Cooties’ can help! As a psychologist and as a teacher I can plan for most things that would allow me to understand and nurture the young eager minds that I encounter each day, and offering both food for thought and intellectual nourishment is key to the profession. I am a big advocate of this particular quote by Socrates in my line of work and practice. I can only make them think.” Wise words indeed from a great philosopher.
