Pingback: The Crazies Movie Review
Just saw this at a matinée. Much better than I expected! Constantaction with a great sense of pacing, tension-filled (the scene in thecar wash is particularly terrifying). The acting is surprisingly strongfor a Romero-related movie. Big budget too, which helps. The setting(Ogden Marsh, Iowa) is the perfect place for an outbreak-type movie-lots of great cinematography of vast, open fields and sky. Whiletechnically speaking, The Crazies is not exactly a zombie movie (theinfected are still alive and somewhat intelligent), this is aninteresting variation on the genre. Not as gory as the Dawn of the Deadremake, but still a lotta blood gets spilled. And the social commentaryis still there, as well. Great remake and the best movie I've seen thisyear.
ok movie
