You'll Never Want To Eat A Chicken Nugget Again

Fans of US horror TV series The Walking Dead will remember critics' anger from a scene of the pilot episode where a young zombie girl was shot in the head.

Well if that's the standard, then the trailer that's just dropped for new horror-comedy film Cooties may just cause public outrage.

The flick's concept is pretty simple: an elementary school is plagued with a virus after a batch of infected chicken nuggets cause the students to turn into zombies. Yep. 

From there it pits the zombie infected kids against the teachers who are locked in the school and are fighting for their lives. 

Bizzarely enough, Cooties has been penned by Aussie film maker Leigh Whannell, co-creator and star of horror franchise Saw and his writing partner Ian Brennan, co creator of musical TV show, Glee. 

Actually, maybe that does make sense. 

It is as ridiculous as it sounds which is why the film is thrown in the comedy genre and though the cast boasts some big names, it will no doubt cause some controversy upon its release.  

Elijah Wood of The Lord Of The Rings fame leads the pack of frightened teachers alongside funny man Rainn Wilson who most will remember from US comedy series The Office in his acclaimed character as Dwight Schrute. 

Other stars include Allison Pill, Jorge Garcia from Lost and 30 Rock favourite, Jack McBrayer.  

Viewer beware: There is blood, swearing and more school yard violence than your school principal would ever condone.

The film did get a run at last year's Sundance Film Festival and its surprise success there and the positive reviews written were some of the reasons behind it getting a select cinema release. 

Aussies may have to wait a little longer as it is yet to be given a release date in the country, but you can make your own opinion by checking out the trailer above. 

Cooties will be released in the US on September 18.
