The Crazies
I watched this movie last night. Shitty plot summary stolen from IMDB:
Watch this if you enjoyed I Am Legend, Brotherhood Of The Wolf, Battle Royale or Ravenous.
Sorry if this seems garbled and silly. I am extremely hungover, saw Pendulum last night. WOOHOO!
Also Timothy Olyphant is really hot. :)
About the inhabitants of a small Iowa town suddenly plagued by insanity and then death after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply.The Crazies is a remake of an older Romero film, I haven't seen the original, I found it really hard to find the original online and offline :( so I can't compare it to the first film yahdayadayada. Let me just say, this film is FUCKING AWESOME. I've heard it get a bad rap from a lot of my horrorbuff friends but I really enjoyed this. It's a pseudo-intellectual horror about a town that gets "something" in the water that makes everyone go crazy and violent. Personally, I really enjoyed the army aspect of this film, it was really good to see what was happening from another perspective. The acting is fucking superb and while there are quite a few plotholes it's understandable as the movie is quite long and showing every single scene of people transporting themselves from one place to another would make the film over 5 hours! There are also no "jump"scenes which is something I highly commend. So many horror films these days rely on JUMPS! to scare the audience. A film that succeeds in scaring you and/or immersing you into the storyline without this style of footage is a film to see.

Great! I have been wanting to see this! I think they have the original on netflix. I <3 George Romero so i'm glad this movie was alright!
ReplyDeleteI actually really enjoyed this, and need to make sure my roomie sees it.
ReplyDeleteThe ending was such a "OH YEAH...FUUU-" Type ending :)
I watched this film and it's so much scarier than zombie movies imo!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'd love to check this out. Might give me something to do this Friday night!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Pendulum! I saw them live last year. They are pretty awesome!

Argh, I haven't seen the Crazies remake yet, but the original was pretty cool. I definitely have to see this.
