PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

cricketbat I was pleasantly surprised to find out that The Crazies is actually a smart horror film. The filmmakers are more invested in suspense than gory special effects (though they have those, too). The pacing is slow, but story has a realistic feel and the "crazies" are pretty terrifying. This is an interesting twist on the zombie movie genre.

rmwilliams-18922 To me, this is the most perfect horror movie out there. The plot and story is very compelling and it gives a very solid background as to WHY "the crazies" exist. Also, the movie presents you with a moral dilemma about loved ones going "crazy." This movie really makes you think. Regarding the story, I was very impressed with how cohesively it all came together, and at how impressive it was. You rarely see that in horror movies.Delivery of the story = amazingBUT the sheer scares and terror of this movie is what makes it FUN. There are "creepy" scares, "jump" scares, "gory" scares, "psychological" scares, you name it! The movie is so diverse in its execution that you get a mix of everything.If you're a horror fan (and even if you're not) you will appreciate this movie. It is a movie delivered with much more than just scares, but the scares are the icing on the cake! My girlfriend got very creeped out by some of the "emotional" scares, the ones that involve a loved one doing bad things. 10/10 because it's not only a great horror movie, it's a great movie in general because it doesn't rely on being scary!

merceplucas A world where 2011's The Thing reboot exists is arguably a worse world than one where its titular monster is real and eating us all. Old film franchises brought back from the dead to make a quick buck almost never end well. To this day the only one that lived up to its original glory was Mad Max Fury Road. The Crazies' 37 year revival wasn't as amazing as Mad Max Fury Road, but at least it wasn't The Thing, or Terminator Genysis; and this is partially because Romero was actually involved in its creation. Sure he wasn't a director, but since most horror remakes are done without any real talk with the original director, it's a blessing here. The film concept isn't quite a zombie concept, but the film sure as hell acts like one. Its score is decent, cinematography is nice, the acting and script are well done even if they take a bit of liberties with reality. Overall it's a nice film to see.

Bob Jim What I really love about this movie, was the main character. He really did the whole movie for me.Usually, in zombie movies or "OMG it's a horrible disease that spreads quickly!" movies, the characters wait around until the story forces them to act. But not in this movie! This movie's protagonist takes the initiative, he isn't waiting around to be killed once he gets the gist of things. He starts off trying to help legally, and then resorts to the illegal. He was & is a well written character, his actor was fine as well but not something too amazing or interesting.Pros:Well written protagonist & support Cool and somewhat realistic plot Well done action scenes Cons: It takes a bit of time 'till the story kicks in, but I believe it's worth the wait
