The Crazies (2010)

[avengedtbs]

Remake of the George A. Romero film of the same title. The trailer looks decent, but I loved the use of Mad World the last third of the trailer. I'll probably go see it.

[a speedo model]

I'm curious, not sure how it will turn out. We shall see.

[Justin_stacy]

Rottentomatoes site sucks,

lEMZwQulT1Q


....this looks to have potential, and Olyphant's a hell of an actor....and so far all of Romero's remake have been of quality, so lets hope this keeps up the streak.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

Hmm...trailer was not bad. Did like the use of Mad World as well. Could be interesting.

[Brandon Allin]

I'm pretty excited for this.

[MADSTA]

The trailer was kind of meh until Mad World kicked in.

[Greg.Kushlan]

I don't really care for Romero outside of Creepshow and some of his other smaller films so I dont know if I actually mind this remake as much.

[billyboatkid]

Sick. I'll be seeing. I think it looks pretty good.

[xNC1212x]

Looks like a really good take on a Romero classic.

[drudo182]

Trailer looks slick but I think it's one of those movies that could be either really good, or really bad. Looking forward to it though.

[MyWorldEntire]

Looks pretty damn good from the trailer.

[secretsociety92]

Seen this trailer a couple of times at the cinema and I am hoping this will be a good remake as there hasn't been a decent remake in a while.

[airik625]

Been pumped since the first time I saw the trailer. What day does this come out?

[Greg.Kushlan]

It comes out on the 26th

[WakingTheMisery]

I like the looks of it.

[deadkidsean]

I don't really care for Romero outside of Creepshow and some of his other smaller films so I dont know if I actually mind this remake as much.
Good God lol

[Greg.Kushlan]

Good God lol

I looked at that and thought the same thing. I started watching more of his stuff, and feel stupid for saying that.

[deadkidsean]

Anyway, I think it looks like it'll be a good movie, but I can't for the life of me figure out why they couldn't have just released it under a different name and not considered it a remake/re-imagining/whatever the fuck. There is literally nothing in the trailers that I have seen that give any inclination that it will be like the original at all, starting with why they made them all disfigured. The reason why the original was so great was because they weren't zombies or anything of the sort at all. They were in every way normal looking, they had just gone stark-raving mad.

[deadkidsean]

I looked at that and thought the same thing. I started watching more of his stuff, and feel stupid for saying that.
Haha, good on ya. Glad you went back and delved into his stuff - dude is a genius.

He is probably the most influential director in the genre's history and directed the flick that would be in every horror fans top 2 or 3, so I read that and was kinda shocked.

[whenyourearound]

this film looks quite interesting. ill have to chchchchchchcheck it out.

[Justin_stacy]

some of the tv spots don't look to bad. maybe we'll have another 'dawn' remake on our hands.

[Losthope182]

Pretty excited to check this out, not sure if I have anyone to go with though.

[Recovery Room]

This is currently at 82% on RT, consider me surprised.

[gusta0117]

yeah i saw that it was an 82% and they are generally very positive fresh reviews, most are 4/5 etc.

I never thought I would say it but, Roger Eberts review is bs for this movie.

[drudo182]

Love Ebert but haven't read his review on this. I will in a bit. I assume it was pretty nasty.

[Gaugzilla]

Love Ebert but haven't read his review on this. I will in a bit. I assume it was pretty nasty.
http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100224/REVIEWS/100229989

Not really. Two-and-a-half stars, a gentleman's three stars.

[Justin_stacy]

I never thought I would say it but, Roger Eberts review is bs for this movie.

alot of Eberts' reviews are terrible, or bias based on his political views. you've got to be very carefully with hte amount of weight you give to any of his opinions.

[avengedtbs]

It's at an 88% percent right now (15 out of 17) on RT and 4 for 5 on top critics. Definitely might have to see this.

[gusta0117]

immm excited. two highly anticipated movies two weeks in a row. shutter island and now this. i hope the reviews hold up

[catherinexhimel]

This movie is either going to be brilliant or horrible.

Just looked that up a bit ago. Was surprised. Just need to read it now.

[airik625]

Going to see it tomorrow. Love Timothy Olyphant.

[Protested Hero]

Seeing it tomorrow!

[SeeTheLights]

Trailer looks pretty good, might check it out.

[SuperFinelin9]

im curious but still not sure

[Thomas Balkcom]

will most likely see this tonight after I get off of work.

[Justin_stacy]

looks to be a renter, but interested in what you guys think. TO will either make or break the film in my opinion.

This is the OPPOSITE of a renter.

http://www.slantmagazine.com/film/review/the-crazies/4683

I don't know how to explain how unbelievable a 3.5 from Slant for this film is.

I was pumped before I read that, but man... Can't wait.

how do you do it? I love going to the theater so much, haha.

[WordzandDreamz]

I thought this movie was shit. Tim O. was alright, I really wish he'd get just a solid fucking role in something. It blows my mind how good the reviews are for this movie.

[WakingTheMisery]

Justified should be sweeeeeet.

[secretsociety92]

74% on RT, Consensus - Tense, nicely shot, and uncommonly intelligent, The Crazies is the rare horror remake that works.

[deadkidsean]

7:40. Pumped.

[TJ Wells]

7:40. Pumped.
Ha. 7:35

[deadkidsean]

we're seeing it at the same time! fuckin cuhrazy

[SLoT]

blam! 7:30

[TJ Wells]

actually, 6:30 compared to us. so you REALLY win.

[SLoT]

actually, 6:30 compared to us. so you REALLY win.
haha, actually I've got plans tonight that unfortunately don't involve me watching this movie. so you guys will win, but remember... i could've won. it definitely looks entertaining that's for sure.

[chrismileslord]

Looks interesting but I don't have high hopes. Def. will see it.

[Colorblind!]

Tonight, hoping it's good!

[Protested Hero]

7:30 here. I'm decently excited! Ha.

[Maxwell]

going to see this on wednesday (every wednesday is pretty much BOGOF at cinema's here), pumped.

[Whalejaw]

I think I'm going to go see this tomorrow.

[deadkidsean]

It was fucking great.

[Thomas Balkcom]

It was fucking great.

this has me fucking pumped.

[IAmNietzche]

It was fucking great.
Yeah?

[Wake Up]

The loud noise gags kill me, but the movie was fun. So surprised that I liked The Crazies and Cop Out at all.

[Dystroxia]

It was fucking great.

FFFFUUUUUUU

Seeing this tomorrow.

[Protested Hero]

Wow. So so much better than I expected. The movie ruled.

[wall e]

Fucking good movie.

[Rawrr]

Actually think this looks really good, maybe I'll go see it tomorrow.

[TJ Wells]

Can't get over how great this was. Maybe it was my relatively low expectations? Also, when did Terence Malick start dabbling in horror? Fucking gorgeous cinematography>

[deadkidsean]

After the deputy's performance, this is definitely what impressed me the most. That shot at the end was beautifully stunning. I'm assuming you know what I mean, but if not, quote me and I'll spoiler tag it, haha.

[TJ Wells]

Haha, do you mean walking away from the nuke or walking towards Cedar Rapids?

[deadkidsean]

this has me fucking pumped.Yeah?


Yes and yeser. I can't stress enough how much it isn't like the original, haha, but yeah. I mean, Timmy O killed it, the supporting cast did what most supporting casts in major horror can't do and that's NOT ANNOY THE FUCK OUT OF YOU (they were actually great; specifically the deputy sheriff). As Teej hit on, cinematography was fantastic. Edge-of-the-seat type-movie man and I had a blast. Some great gore that wasn't over the top at all. Two thumbs up and worthy of the good...to great praise it's getting.

[deadkidsean]

Haha, do you mean walking away from the nuke or walking towards Cedar Rapids?
Away. Wow. My jaw was on the floor man, that shot was fucking so awesome. Really wish they would have just cut like that and not have left it semi-open. I mean, the way they did it, I love that you have that last feeling of, "hahah, fuck, here goes 120,000 more people fucked," but the final shot being them with the nuclear waste in the background would have been sick. I guess in the same light, though, it was sweet to see that they were going to go into another city b/c it meant that it clearly wasn't an accident, which is what Romero's original really stressed. Hmm, I wish I didn't see it alone now so I could talk it out, haha.

[TJ Wells]

FUCK Eli Roth; this dude should direct Cell.

[airik625]

I fucking loved it! Do you guys think Olyphant and his wife had the sickness?

[deadkidsean]

Nah. Not that it really mattered if they did or not, though. They were fucked either way.

[Protested Hero]

I honestly had no idea that the military was going to be involved and what not (I haven't seen the Romero original) and it really added to the film for me. The nuke scene was absolutely ridiculous, but in a good way.

It was just nice to be so surprised by a movie I thought was going to be just "okay".

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Didn't like it as much as most of you in here. I did like it, just didn't think it was fantastic. The ending was a bit much.

[deadkidsean]

One thing that pissed me off to no end was how the military kept on calling them 'The Crazies.' "ANY CRAZIES IN THERE?!?!?" and shit like that.

[Protested Hero]

One thing that pissed me off to no end was how the military kept on calling them 'The Crazies.' "ANY CRAZIES IN THERE?!?!?" and shit like that.

Agreed. It kind of brought us away from the "real" feel of the film, but nonetheless a minor flaw.

[deadkidsean]

Agreed. It kind of brought us away from the "real" feel of the film, but nonetheless a minor flaw.
And if you'd seen Romero's you'd know why it made me mad, haha. But yeah, pretty minor for the most part.

[Protested Hero]

I'll check it out on Netflix. I owe it to myself to see it.

[Dystroxia]

Going see it at 1:45 (it's 1:01 right now)

[HometownHero]

I kinda want to see this. Not quite sure if it is worth it or not

[Lueda Alia]

I really like scary movies, but I'm too much of a wuss to see them in theaters. It sucks.

Would really like to see this.

[Greg.Kushlan]

I just got back from it, it was better than most horror remakes.

[Dystroxia]

I got back an hour ago from it.

It was amazing, the best remake of a horror movie I've quite possibly ever seen.

[deadkidsean]

I just got back from it, it was better than most horror remakes.It was amazing, the best remake of a horror movie I've quite possibly ever seen.

I'd be incredibly hesitant to call it a remake after seeing it and letting it set in for a day. Really just borrowed the general outline and name.

[Dystroxia]

I'd be incredibly hesitant to call it a remake after seeing it and letting it set in for a day. Really just borrowed the general outline and name.

Well, after seeing movie remakes like Friday the 13th, My Bloody Valentine, The Amityville Horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Fog, Black Christmas, and many, many more, I think my opinion and Greg's is right.

I'm not saying it wasn't great ... I really dug it. I'm just saying it is way less of a remake than any of those you mentioned.

[Dystroxia]

I'm not saying it wasn't great ... I really dug it. I'm just saying it is way less of a remake than any of those you mentioned.

Well, I think it's a lot better than most remakes, and regardless if it's changed or not since the original, it's still a remake. But we all know that lol

[KellyGleason]

Is it really scary? I love scary movies but I clog my ears through most of them.

[TJ Wells]

Is it really scary? I love scary movies but I clog my ears through most of them.
It's definitely got scary moments, but as someone who jumps at pretty much ANY loud noise, I'll say you should be fine.

[KellyGleason]

It's definitely got scary moments, but as someone who jumps at pretty much ANY loud noise, I'll say you should be fine.Movie twins? I think I have a really weak heart, because it stops at the slightest noise.

[TJ Wells]

Movie twins? I think I have a really weak heart, because it stops at the slightest noise.
hahha, again ditto. but i was more or less fine. GOOD scares, if you ask me.

[seraph1214]

I need to see this.

[Whalejaw]

I really enjoyed this. It's really not that scary of a movie though.

[stayillogical]

The scariest part was when the surgical saw was coming at him. Haha, I was literally on the edge of my seat. Classic. And something no one has mentioned yet is I think it had a great level of humor, never too much or too over the top. I agree of course that it was beautifully shot, I'm impressed. It lived up to the hype.

[SaintSammy17]

Just got back from this and I'm seeing it again tomorrow (taking my younger brother).
Best horror movie I've seen in such a long time. My bff and I were tense as hell for the entire thing!
Joe Anderson's performance was amazing (he was the deputy sheriff).

Fun fact: I also love that this was set and partly filmed in Iowa. The town they picked was right outside of the town one of my friends lived in and she ran into Joe Anderson and Radha Mitchell at her town's Wal-Mart one day. She said they were nice as hell. Also, some of her friends got to be extras in the baseball scene.

[Bryant]

Saw this tonight and really enjoyed it. Wasn't expecting much from it but it was a good hour and a half of entertainment.

[element4433]

This movie greatly exceeded my expectations. I only had a few problems with it: 1. The music was awful. Like watching a teen drama at times 2. Those stupid overhead satellite shots 3. I kept searching for some social or political commentary, but I couldn't find any. Overall, I enjoyed it. Scarier than most horror movies I see. I'm not easily frightened, and there were a few times I was during this movie. The knife through his hand was painful

[stayillogical]

Yeah, when he pulled out the knife, I said to my sister, "Well now he's definitely got it."

[element4433]

Yeah, when he pulled out the knife, I said to my sister, "Well now he's definitely got it." I said the same thing to my friend.

I was that guy going, "oohhhh SHITTT fuckfuckfuck," and trying to sit back further in my seat, as to be avoiding the saw, hahah.

[Colorblind!]

I thought it was well shot and really enjoyed the whole military element, but I was really hoping this would steer clear of the "just barely getting saved in the nick of time a shitload" and "stay here by yourself where you're obviously in danger" cliches.

The part where the helicopter blows up their car was awesome!

Yeah, it definitely didn't ruin my enjoyment of the film but I was just hoping after all the positive praise I had heard that it would stray from that shit.

Absolutely. The car wash scene preceding it was so badass. Awesome setting for an ambush.

Absolutely. The car wash scene preceding it was so badass. Awesome setting for an ambush. Yea, it was pretty creative. The scene with the soldier was interesting too, I felt bad for him even though he was ordered to do some pretty awful things. Makes you wonder what you would do in those situations.

It was pretty shocking how Becca was pulled out of the car and hung.

[Protested Hero]

I've come to accept those moments as inevitable.

The part where the helicopter blows up their car was awesome!

The deputy's response (Russell?) was exactly the same as mine. I burst out laughing at that part.

At the obvious "saved at the last moment" points you could easily tell what was going to happen, but oh well. I think if he was startled and scraped her in the leg or something instead it would have been more effective.

Been happening since the dawn of horror. It goes with the genre in every way. You should probably get used to it ...

[TJ Wells]

I was kind of surprised he/they stopped to get out and check if she was alive after she was pulled out of the car. You could hear that neck snap a mile away.

[MyNameIsRoss]

thought it was ok, wasn't really like the original, not that i'm really a big fan of it anyway.

[deadkidsean]

$16.5 projected on a $20 budget. #3 this weekend. Movie is going to make some serious cream.

[stayillogical]

Been happening since the dawn of horror. It goes with the genre in every way. You should probably get used to it ...

Yeah, those are the basic conventions of the genre, not flaws.

[Rawrr]

This movie, I enjoyed it. Although I agree with the overhead thing being kind of dumb and the very very last moment with the thing being iniated in Ceder Rapid was eh. Although yeah, overall, good.

[gusta0117]

it may. most movies like this drop steeply week 2. It most likely will only bank 4-5 mil next time

[deadkidsean]

it may. most movies like this drop steeply week 2. It most likely will only bank 4-5 mil next time
It'll have great word of mouth. For it to be within $3.5 million of its budget after the first weekend, it is sitting mighty pretty.

[gusta0117]

yeah i definitely dont doubt that it will see profit. plus spring break is coming up and the only other competition for it is Shutter Island, Alice in Wonderland, or going to see Avatar for a third time

[ikikwe]

I just came back from it. I really enjoyed it. Yeah, there were the "saved at the last moment" scenes and whatnot, but some scenes were absolutely awesome. The car wash scene especially, and I thought the scene where Russel was killed was beautifully shot. That being said, some of the dialogue was laughable ex. "What do you want me to say" "How about SORRY!" ...really?. A part of me kept hoping that the sheriff's wife would die. It would have been an incredibly ballsy move, but it probably, in all reality, compromised his motivation. If he went all "Taken" on their asses though, that would have been kinda cool. Part of this was because the wife annoyed the shit out of me at some parts. Also...they nuked the fridge. -_-. . Definitely do not regret spending eight bucks to see it though.

[drudo182]

Going to go see it this afternoon. Really looking forward to it.

[deadkidsean]

There wasn't anything annoying about the wife at all. She was great. And for anyone to go 'all Taken' in anything during an Infection Apocolypse would probably make me walk out of the theater. That's absolutely retarded.

[SStignei]

Yeah, those are the basic conventions of the genre, not flaws.

I don't remember 28 days later having this issue and I'm still torn on the crazies if I should see it now or wait for video.

-S

[deadkidsean]

Because 28 Days Later is the horror film all other horror films should be judged by. :rolleyes:

[airik625]

That would be cool if it had an alternate ending on the DVD release.

A fair point. My friends all pointed that at to me too after I told them. I have no justification for why I thought that would be a good idea and there's really no way I can defend my self for thinking it would be either. Ah, well.

Thinking about it more though, I really did enjoy the movie and would definitely see it again. The direction of it reminded me of Left 4 Dead, which I loved.

:-)

There's a time and place for a protagonist to become all juiced-up badass and just fuck shit up on some zombies/infected, but I just can't see it in The Crazies. Woody in Zombieland comes to
mind. It works bc it's a more comedic approach.

[drudo182]

Just got back and I loved this thing. The scene in the babies room was creepy as hell.

[MADSTA]

I didn't like this movie that much. I'm not huge on this kind of movie in general, though.

[drudo182]

I'm sure this kid is just trolling IMDb but I found this on their message boards. It was funny. Guess my first mistake was even looking at their message boards in the first place.

"This movie flat out glorifies theft. In the scene where they arrive at the truck stop, Timothy Olyphant's character proceeds into the store and just takes whatever he sees fit. Radha Mitchell's character just grabs a bottle of water off the counter and gulps it down. Stealing is wrong, no matter what the situation entails. The youth of America can see this movie, and will think it is somehow "hip" or "cool" to steal things. I know this movie has an R rating, but you know kids are bound to see it. What if some young adult from your neighborhood happens to see the scene where the big rig truck is stolen, and thinks it might be okay to steal your truck too? I bet you wouldn’t be too happy. The actor’s performances in this movie are decent, but I only wish they conveyed more Christian values. There is a right and wrong, black and white, this movie is just plain wrong. Hollywood, the writers and producers of this movie only have themselves to blame for the corruption of young minds and the glorification of larceny."

[Thomas Balkcom]

loved this.

[stayillogical]

loved this.

I really did too. I'm trying to spread the word about it. My favorite part that I really want to re-watch is the car wash scene followed by the car explosion. That last moment was just perfect. And the deputy's reaction was the cherry on top.

if Dan hasn't already posted it, I really enjoyed this article. (http://www.filmfreakcentral.net/screenreviews/crazies2010.htm)

still love this film. Probably my favorite of 2010 so far.

still love this film. Probably my favorite of 2010 so far.

I'm surprised.

I'm surprised.

why do you say that?

[Wake Up]

why do you say that?

I just wouldn't figure that a remake for a decent horror movie would be your favorite movie thus far, hahah I guess I don't know your taste in film that well.

Best mainstream horror film since...

28 Days Later

wow.

[IAmNietzche]

It probably makes my top 15 horror films of the decade.

[AnUnseenLove]

I enjoyed this.

I feel like my love for this movie is legitimized by your seal of approval, haha. YES!

[Maxwell]

watched this last night and loved it. everything about it was well done.

the last scene in the truck was beautiful.

[TJ Wells]

I wouldn't call 28 Days Later a mainstream horror film. It BECAME one, but didn't start that way. I'd say best mainstream horror film since The Hills Have Eyes.

[Ravenna]

am I alone in thinking this movie was fuckin stupid?

[Kris10mf]

am I alone in thinking this movie was fuckin stupid?

no.

i was looking forward to this movie and it sucked big time.

[chasingsafety]

just finished watching this (there is a good rip out there) and i enjoyed it. For the past couple movies that have attempted something like this i thought it was executed really well. I agree with others that it was shot beautifully and had some really fantastic and creative scenes. But i really felt the ended kinda shot the movie in the foot a bit. I thought to imply that was stupid

[bouttogetfancy]

This movie was awesome. It has left me paranoid, though.

[ActorInThisPlay]

damn, this is already out of theaters. I guess I'll have to wait to Netflix it.

[Dystroxia]

I wouldn't call 28 Days Later a mainstream horror film. It BECAME one, but didn't start that way. I'd say best mainstream horror film since The Hills Have Eyes.

I disagree on the last sentence

THHE was really boring, IMO

[Justin_stacy]

June 29th for the DVD release.

[Thomas Balkcom]

June 29th for the DVD release.

nice, thank you.

[airik625]

Interested to see the artwork.

[Justin_stacy]

best guess...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41CxG47uiOL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

[airik625]

More than likely that will be it. I wonder if there is going to be any kind of special edition with additional footage.

I disagree on the last sentence

THHE was really boring, IMO

Ehh, I loved that new one.

[Dystroxia]

Ehh, I loved that new one.

It's better than The Hills Have Eyes 2 remake.

I just watched this and thought it was a good movie, but I thought the end was lame as hell.

[stayillogical]

The opening with Johnny Cash's cover of We'll Meet Again is chilling.

[geebee889]

I haven't seen this yet, but I shall do so as soon as the dvd is released.

[jusscali]

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Will probably pick it up when it comes out

[Gaugzilla]

Yea, this was a quality picture. It was streets ahead of the other terrible remakes, as mentioned, "Hills Have Eyes" and "Dawn of the Dead."

[Thomas Balkcom]

BD purchase for sure.

Dawn of the Dead is regarded as one of the very best remakes to date (more specifically, horror remakes) ...

BD purchase for sure.

Yep. Day 1.

And it's regarded by me to be a glorified arcade game with a half-decent cast. I get the 'fun' value of it, but beyond that, it's just not that great of a movie. Just like all Zach Snyder movies.

[symbiote28]

i thought this movie was okay but im not into horror movies that much so maybe this wasn't a fair reflection.

[TJ Wells]

BD purchase for sure.
Haha just what I came in here to say.

[SeeTheLights]

Just watched this last night. loved it.

[Dystroxia]

So glad they chose Olyphant.

He was a great killer in Scream 2.

[stayillogical]

I'm still baffled by how much I love this movie. It's great when a movie you're not anticipating surprises you.

[jeremyfromva]

Definitely exceeded my expectations. This was an enjoyable film. There were a few things wrong with it.

One thing that stood out....
Dave turned off the water supply, but the car wash still worked.

[deadkidsean]

My Mom just finished it and really dug it hard. She's awesome.

[Thomas Balkcom]

yes, she is. I need to revisit this.

[Lueda Alia]

I liked this.

[danielineffigy]

I really liked this movie except for the lead female, Oliphant's wife. She was annoying as fuck the whole time.

It was worth the $12.99 I paid for the BD last week.

[SgtSmegma]

I'm sure this kid is just trolling IMDb but I found this on their message boards. It was funny. Guess my first mistake was even looking at their message boards in the first place.

"This movie flat out glorifies theft. In the scene where they arrive at the truck stop, Timothy Olyphant's character proceeds into the store and just takes whatever he sees fit. Radha Mitchell's character just grabs a bottle of water off the counter and gulps it down. Stealing is wrong, no matter what the situation entails. The youth of America can see this movie, and will think it is somehow "hip" or "cool" to steal things. I know this movie has an R rating, but you know kids are bound to see it. What if some young adult from your neighborhood happens to see the scene where the big rig truck is stolen, and thinks it might be okay to steal your truck too? I bet you wouldn’t be too happy. The actor’s performances in this movie are decent, but I only wish they conveyed more Christian values. There is a right and wrong, black and white, this movie is just plain wrong. Hollywood, the writers and producers of this movie only have themselves to blame for the corruption of young minds and the glorification of larceny."

Old post, but I lol'd so hard at this

[drudo182]

Haha, yeah. That was such a random rant.

[Brandon Allin]

Finally saw this. Enjoyed it a lot.

[Full Effect Ed]

Yeah it really was one of the better remakes in recent memory.

[deadkidsean]

So great. As if all my posts itt didn't let you guys know I love it.

[stayillogical]

It was in my top 10 last year. I'm still crazy about it too.

[Liam_Pace]

This terrified my cousin Glen and I when we saw it in theaters. Wouldn't mind watching it again.
