Rainn Wilson may be a famous TV comedian, but he’s wowed Sundance before in serious films like Hesher. At this year’s 2014 Sundance Film Festival, Rainn Wilson is back with another very serious, contemplative film called Cooties, about a group of teachers trapped in an elementary school by homicidal, cannibalistic children who ate tainted chicken nuggets.
Okay, so it’s not that serious.
