The Crazies

This is one solid, action laced, intense, entertaining thrill ride of a remake done right for once! Everything about this is great from the acting, filming, shocks, mystery, gore, pace and story that I didn't want it to end, a sign of a terrific thriller in my books. There were a few solid jump scares here and there but this is more of an apocalyptic/thriller than a full out horror movie to me but the gripping action and the gnarly situation make up for that because to me these type of virus, apocalypse films are more terrifying than some guy in a mask chasing bimbos around. This was like a mixture of Carriers, 28 Weeks Later, Resident Evil, Phantoms ect. so if you like any of those films you'll love this wild and crazy ride. I can't find any flaws about this movie other than the fact that it's not the most original movie around but it's a remake so who care because I'd take a good remake any day than some watered down crap! Overall I loved it and didn't want it to end and would mind a sequel and this might even be the best thriller or horror movie I guess we'll see this year but hopefully not. Highly recommended but then again I have a soft spot for these type of movies. More of a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
