School lunches get a bad rap, and one new film may take it to the next level. Imagine school lunches having a virus or something in them that turn prepubescent kids into flesh-eating zombies. Then, the children end up with "Cooties."  

According to Yahoo, that is the titular subject of the upcoming comedic horror movie about teachers who have to fend against a school full of kids that have become crazed, "zombie-like" monsters that are trying at all stops to eat their teachers, principals and gym coaches.

The premise is that the virus, or whatever it is that causes them to change, has been infected in the chicken nuggets served at the school.

The kids are the only ones who eat them, so they become the flesh-eating zombies. The action becomes a comical mix of kids eating their teachers, quickly followed by the teachers fighting back and killing the kids in classic zombie-horror fashion. Add a few comedic angles to the mix and you have a new hit, similar to the likes of "Zombieland."

The film was directed by Jonathan Nilott and Cary Murnion. It stars Elijah Wood ("Wilfred," "Sin City"), Alison Pill ("The Newsroom," "Drag Me to Hell"), Rainn Wilson ("The Office," "Hesher"), Nasim Pedrad and Jack McBrayer. It was co-written by Leigh Whannell ("Saw," "Insidious") and Ian Brennan ("Glee"), according to The Huffington Post.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the film comes from producer Daniel Noah and recently opened the Stanley Film Festival in Estes Park, Colorado. Noah addressed the audience at the festival.

"'Cooties' -- which is quite silly -- has, we hope, some provocative themes in it about teachers being underpaid and underappreciated, the processed food being given to our children in schools, [and] overmedicating kids," Noah said at the festival. "I just made it sound like Al Gore's new documentary!"
