The Crazies

Rule 1: Cardio
Rule 2: Double tap
Rule 3: Beware of bathrooms
Rule 4: Wear seatbelts

My badd, wrong movie.  This could have been "Midwest of the Dead" without blinking an eye.
Film seems to be going through what some call a "renaissance", while I call it a total fraggin' hack job!  Good new horror is impossible to find and recent remakes have been missing the mark like an arrow being shot by a blind kid with turrets. The Crazies is based on a 1973 George A. Romero film of the same name. So of course, like Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead, it gott jacked so far from the original -
how the fuck you even call it the same name?!!?

The idea is easy: small town America turned upside down by an engineered virus that turns everybody into... wait for it.... wait for it.... The Crazies.  It ain't a masterpiece, it's a remake of an old-school, 70's gore and shock flick.


Like women, a good horror movie is hard to find.  You can easily gett one all hardcore and grimy, but it's the pretty one that's full of suprises you really want.

6 outta 10

Here's what pissed me off - why, in all horror movies, when the protaganists go into into a building or house, they alway assume there ain't nobody else in there?!  First thing to know: THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE IN THE HOUSE!!!

The Crazies is an adequate script, and a few sentimental scenes that have no place and feel utterly dumb. Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell (hott) are good, Danielle Panabaker does well in a rather disposable role, adding a pretty young hottness to a cast of largely older actors.
