#WAS THE MOVIE COOTIES RELEASED ONLINE PROFESSIONAL#
And I'm not even suggesting that the professional and audience scores are wrong, but I just think that the film, in a lot of respects, didn't really get a fair shot. I'm not here to suggest that this is an amazing horror/comedy, because it's not, but I think that both the professional and audience reactions to this film sort of underrate how much fun the film is to actually watch. I'm a huge was to begin with, but I needed a huge strong drink afterward. Whoever did the sound foley, ugh, it is so gross.Sue me, but I thought this film was quite a bit of fun, all things considered. Pill: Yeah and you're like, "Oh no no," there are actual horror elements that are very integral to the plot and the whole thing of it. Pill: I also think it's interesting if you go in with the belief that every horror comedy is mostly comedy, and with our poster and with the people involved, you're like, "Oh it's a comedy that's about a scary movie." If you have a sensitivity to the things we are dealing with that are scary, then you'll probably be more scared than you'll laugh. So yeah, it was definitely our intention, but I think that you're right, in some ways it's also what you bring into it, what you find scary. There are examples of the contrary where it is relatively even matched, American Werewolf in London is terrifying but also very funny. Wood: Yeah, I think horror comedies tend to skew more comedy than horror, for the most part. The attempt was to make a genuinely equal match of horror and comedy and hopefully, there have been a few people who watched it alone and thought it was scary, so that's a great rewarding thing because it's always a worry to have a horror comedy be properly horrific. I really think if it touches on some of your fears, then you will definitely. How would you describe the scare factor in this versus the humor factor? Just loved girls, it was easy, never went through that gross phase. Wood: I don't know that cooties ever played a part in my life because I thought girls were really cute, you know what I mean? I wasn't afraid of kissing on girls. She's a hot journalist who's friends with amazing turtles, why would you not be? Wood: I was really attracted to April O'Neil I like that your friendship role model was April O'Neil.
So I think I was 8? Because prior to that, they are not gross, I had friends still at 5 who were boys, we played Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles together and that was okay because April O'Neil had boy friends, they were turtles but they were male, that was still okay and then at a certain point it shifts and it's at that shift point when you reach cooties. When did you both learn about actual cooties?Īlison Pill: Really? I went to an all girls school for grades 1 & 2 where it was not an issue, and then unfortunately had to join boys in grade 3, but then I was like, actually, very handsome.
Screen Rant sat down with Wood and Pill recently to discuss the film's successful blend of scary, gross and funny, when they first encountered actual cooties and what we can expect from Pill's Goon 2 and if Wood is ready for a sequel to The Last Witch Hunter. The film revolves around a group of apathetic small town school teachers whose middle school students catch a disgusting chicken-born virus - the introduction of which is so disturbing you might never eat another chicken nugget - that turns the kids into flesh-eating monsters. If you like your scary movies with actual scares, cringe-worthy dismemberment and laugh-out-loud one-liners courtesy a cast which includes Rainn Wilson, Elijah Wood, Alison Pill and Jack McBrayer, then their new horror comedy Cooties is a must-see.
