A modern day remake of George Romero's 70's shocker classic, starring Timothy Olyphant ("Deadwood") and Radha Mitchell ("Pitch Black"). When a deadly toxin finds its way into the water supply of a small town, it brings insanity and death with it. You'd be mental to miss out on The Crazies.
A husband and wife in a small Midwestern town find themselves battling for survival as their friends and family descend into madness in The Crazies. A mysterious toxin in the water supply turns everyone exposed to it into mindless killers and the authorities leave the uninfected to their certain doom in this terrifying reinvention of the George Romero horror classic.
Directed by Breck Eisner (Sahara), The Crazies is written by Ray Wright (Pulse, Case 39) and Scott Kosar (The Amityville Horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre). The American Dream goes horribly wrong when the residents of this picture-perfect town begin to succumb to an uncontrollable urge for violence and the horrific bloodshed escalates into anarchy. In an attempt to contain the epidemic, the military uses deadly force to close off access into or out of town, abandoning the few healthy citizens to the growing mayhem as depraved killers lurk in the shadows.
Sheriff David Dutton (Timothy Olyphant); his pregnant wife, Judy (Radha Mitchell); Becca (Danielle Panabaker), an assistant at the medical center; and Russell (Joe Anderson), Dutton's deputy and right-hand man, find themselves trapped in a once idyllic town they can no longer recognize. Unable to trust former neighbors and friends, deserted by the authorities and terrified of contracting the illness themselves, they are forced to band together in a nightmarish struggle for survival.

You dont need to have seen the original to enjoy this movie, just go into it as a new and an original horror thriller! The story is really good and keeps you thinking all the time whats going on? it starts to turn really nasty for a small town of people and they mysteriously start killing each other off. The movie ends with a nice twist once you think youve figured it out! Good bloody entertainment, if your a hardcore horror fan than you may not find it that great but its still worth a watch as its good fun, great cast and entertaining.
I watched this remake last night and I was not sure what to expect from it after a few of the dodgy horror remakes of late.
But I really enjoyed this film the story is nice and simple a plane carrying a toxic weapon clash lands and poisons a towns water supply slowly the town folks start to become crazy and begin to kill people.
The U.S army step in and take the towns folk into camps until the Crazies escape and begin to run riot.
Now the local towns sheriff must somehow get the handful of survivors out of town before the army bomb what s left of the town.
I thought the film was great fun it builds suspense very well, it is not to gory at all.
Well worth watching if your a fan of horror films.
This is a great movie, nothing is unbelievable or over acted, if you like zombie movies then you'll love this, well worth watching!
A friend of mine recommended this movie to me and i watched it thinking it would be another average horror movie but was surprised with how good it turned out to be. You will love it if you are a fan of zombie movies defiantly worth a watch.
Surpasses the original by a thousand miles. Well paced and solidly made with a great performance from Olyphant too. There's allot of this type of movies around but this is one of the best I've seen, on par with the Dawn of the Dead remake. This is a must for horror fans and conspiracy nuts alike. Great stuff!
