I can't figure out if the message is 1) big govt is destroying small town America (BTW, I'm completely cool with that); 2) the impact of meth upon small town America, or 3) you have to be a white collar professional to escape from small town America. Maybe it's an amalgam of all three. Anyway, it was kinda gross when the two leads made out at the truck stop after having not brushed their teeth for two days. Blech
more than i expected, to be sure.....while it's nothing wildly new or exciting, the cinematography was gooooolicious....
Solidly-made, but unremarkable remake. A paint-by-numbers horror film that wastes the potential of its intriguing premise and capable cast. That said, the car wash sequence was pretty awesome and a great piece of horror filmmaking. But other than that individual scene, already forgotten.
Una premisa ya un tanto común, con una bola de cliches del genero (hasta en los efectos y las situaciones dramáticas) sin personalidad, una desperdicio de tiempo.
An excellent, very well-made, creepy thriller that is far superior to the original. Plus, it will make you terrified of car washes.
Just as I thought it would be. Nothing could be more predictable. It has enhanced the thrilling atmosphere, effects,etc. It could be said that it has everything the old one doesn't, except the point.
Película de "zombies" de ritmo vertiginoso con muchisimo ímpetu, buena técnica y efectivos momentos de suspenso y acción. Junto a Carriers, de lo mejor que ha salido de este subgenero en los últimos años.
a (slightly) above average remake. This is how Resident Evil adaptation should be.
Solid remake of of a Romero Classic ,almost as good as Zack Snyders Dawn of the Dead Remake,Breck Eisner really delivers the goods here with plenty of creepy moments to keep you interest high
A pretty solid flick. More of an "military technology gone wrong" movie than a horroe film, though. Never seen the original.
Nearly every scare in The Crazies is telegraphed, whether by suddenly too-tight photography or shrieky crescendos of sound. The amount of times they reused the same gag (slow camera pan to the right: crazy person is revealed. cut to close-up of protagonist slow camera pan back to the left: crazy person is gone) is really incredible. I found myself guessing the exact moments each scare would occur. Terrible film
no where near as good as the Dawn of the dead, or Texas chainsaw remakes. Depending on your feelings for the aforementioned, it will determine weather your bored by this, or just plain hate it.
As horror remakes go, one of the better ones to emerge in recent years. Tough and nihilistic, which is how the original was. Sure, it's less resonant, but it's also a little more self-assured. Timothy Olyphant and Joe Anderson are great and Radha Mitchell remains one of the genre's strongest female performers.
