PicardRex Wrote:You guys know that this is a remake right? The original is an 1973 Romero film, funny that you mentioned a little zombie then. If it actually shows the infection and its effects instead of just talking about it, it is bound to be better than the original.

PicardRex Wrote:All I can say is don't get your hopes up, I thought it was pretty lame and I was predisposed to liking it. A lot of the movie is set in a room where a couple of guys, the doctor and an army guy, are arguing about how to deal with the situation, instead of actually showing the infection and how it is driving people crazy. However, the parts that they actually show the infection, few and far between, are pretty good. Who knows though, you may end up enjoying it more than I did.

If you want to see a people going crazy movie, go rent "Impulse." Or go read The Fog by James Herbert.
I liked The Crazies, but it just wasn't the horror movie advertised in the trailers (which not once show a soldier).

P.S. On the double bill, I saw The Wolfman. Rent it, then fast forward it, and then rewatch the original.
