The Crazies

[The Deadman]

As a toxin begins to turn the residents of Ogden Marsh, Iowa into violent psychopaths, sheriff David Dutton (Olyphant) tries to make sense of the situation while he, his wife (Mitchell), and two other unaffected townspeople band together in a fight for survival.

thoughts on the newest ppl getting infected type movie?

Well, I think a remake of Romero's original is unnecessary.

I thought the original Crazies was one of Romero's weakest movies, nowhere as great as his Zombie trilogy or Creepshow. I think this remake could do it justice!

Why not go against the remakes of The Fly or The Thing from David Croneneberg or John Carpenter?

I seem to remember a topic about this already existing... something about the terrible use of Mad World in the trailer or something....

I just saw this movie yesterday with my friend. It got nice violent scenes, such as the doctor's eyes and lips were sewed up, the guy was pulling out his hand from the knife, ect., though the ending is incredibly terrible. Actually, I was expecting the two would become crazy and kill each other as well too, and yet, they changed clean clothes and headed toward a new town.:o
The guy's protectiveness for his wife is very respectful.
The whole movie seems like a game to me because the two are too lucky to survive every time death coming on them and I still can't figure out why they can still be intact after going through all that.:ohwell:

So, seen people asking this question. Do you think Deputy Russell had the virus, or was he starting to go PTSD?

Overall, I thought the movie gave a good sense of "freaking out" rather than scaring the s*** out of me. It was a good creepy movie, and a great scenario. Some critics picks from Chicago Tribune and New York said it was a good movie to see, and they actually liked some of the plot-holes by saying we don't have to spend extra time trying to understand something better. Good movie, may only see scenes from it on YouTube in the future, but I'm not racing to see it again.

(to Warhorse): Probably a mix of both, probably suffered from what common people in Stephen King's "The Stand" had to go through, and just couldn't take it. Not sure.
