Elijah Wood and schools just don’t go together. Shit always tends to go down. First, freaky alien parasites invade his high school, and now a gross strain of the cooties has infected the kids at the elementary school where his character teaches.

That’s the idea behind his new movie, Cooties. It’s gross, it’s got Rainn Wilson clotheslining kids, and it’s got that montage that happens in every zombie movie where everyone gets all geared up to fight. You pair Wood up with a bunch of comedy masters like Wilson and Jack McBrayer and you’re bound to get some pretty hilarious slapstick moments.

Get your cootie shots before the movie’s release date on September 18th.
