COOTIES is a "transgressive" horror movie for people who think the Resident evil movies are scary. Still kinda cute tho.Doug Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651720537097952075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715711610648154390.post-45119223499343102492016-08-01T20:47:59.882-04:002016-08-01T20:47:59.882-04:00I did see COOTIES for last year's HubrisWeen (...I did see COOTIES for last year's HubrisWeen (what, you didn't memorize all the movies I reviewed?) and found it to be pretty decent, but largely toothless.

Didn't have King's name on it though.<br /><br />Cooties (2014) is also amusing, with a zombie virus that only targets children.Doug Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651720537097952075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715711610648154390.post-53922644079603980982016-07-27T17:41:45.598-04:002016-07-27T17:41:45.598-04:00Something about werecats in an incestuous relation...Something about werecats in an incestuous relationship? King wrote the screenplay without there being a book to adapt IIRC. I guess I knew a little more about it than I originally thought.

I guess corn's agent doesn't demand much for it to appear in films.<br /><br />It's still a better film with King's name over the title than "Sleepwalkers." That's meant to be a warning, not a dare ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
