Mathew V. @theonlymtv Jun 21 The Crazies is a tight, tense horror thriller with strong acting and constant suspense. The outbreak feels real, the pacing never drags, and it stays gripping the whole way through. More horror movies should take notes.

A reasonably entertaining and utterly dumb gore-fest that stretches its exciting, if overdone (being a literal remake) premise to incredibly stupid lengths, this iteration of The Crazies is nasty, undercooked, time-killing escapism and nothing more. The largest issue it has is the sinking feeling of listlessness - I usually had no clue where the characters were going, and couldn't do much else besides shrug at the lazy screenwriting. Timothy Olyphant - impressive talent and clearly doing his best, as always, but the poor guy had little to work with. And why the hell is his character the one lad with any kind of immunity? Intense yet maddening, once your eyes return from the heavens I expect you'll be eager to revisit a classic zombie flick instead. Spare moments of nasty fun aside, it mostly fails to engage. Yes, I prefer actual zombies to infected homicidal maniacs. Pfft See more Julie C. @RT81239458 Jun 18 Keeps you on your toes, good suspense. I normally like them on the psychological vs gory side so zombie movies aren’t my thing but this was had a lot of interesting predicaments. A few moments when the characters made dumb decisions and split up instead of sticking together which broke the believability. Overall a good watch.

I remember when this came out, The Sheriff: Timothy Olyphant was at the peak of his career. If he was in a movie or show, it became BETR. In this particular cinema, his co-star Joe Anderson the Deputy was phenomenal. A Walking Dead Shane like performance, this movie can be a cousin of the walking dead's first 2 seasons. Which were the only good seasons. Anyways, the film ends on a high note of a possible part 2. That obviously never happened and i don't think we ever saw Tim & Joe work together again after this. Shame, Not like his deputy would be around for the next wave of heii. There was a moment towards the end when it seems like Tim should have gotten infected. He used a knife that was already stuck in his hand to kill one of the infected, pulled it out the wrong way, the blade that went into the infected came right back through his hand. The writers did a good job to distract us from it. I guess they did want to leave a possible part2 alive. Salude See more Read all reviews
