God I hope this isn't other nouveau-BS-social-commentary type horror film like the god-awful Diary Of the Dead movie Romero shat out.

WOAH, ROMERO MADE SOMETHING WITH SOCIAL COMMENTARY?!

Blinky only mentioned Diary of the Dead, and it was indeed rubbish.

The director might also be directing the remake of The Brood...

Awww are you defending me, wench-face? So touching. *wank*

Looks alright.

How So ?

It could go either way. It's gonna suck ass, or it's gonna kick ass. Trailers can be misleading.

Its going to be between both...it will be alright.

I'll definitely see this when it comes out in a couple of weeks - the original "Crazies" is one of my favorite Romero films, and the trailers look like they're doing a pretty solid job with the remake. Besides, "Wolfman" sucked, so I need a solid horror flick to save my February! 🙂

Just got free screening tickets to see this tomorrow. WOOT!

Nice! Where and when?!? I don't want to have to wait for Friday - I'm still looking for a midnight Thursday screening, just so I can catch the first one!

Plus, "The Crazies" just seems like the kind of movie that's best seen in a theater crowded with people in the middle of the night. 🙂

If you trust the site rotten tomatoes it has a 86% rating.

"The Crazies" is up to 88% now, with 22 Fresh and only 3 Rotten. That's normally a really good score - but when you consider that it's a HORROR movie, that's an insanely good score. Critics are normally pretty biased against horror movies; it's rare that you see one even hit 60%, let alone a score like 88%.

I'm impressed! Can't wait to see this!

The plot can use some work but the movie is very good. The tone is right, the tension is perfect, decent acting, the music is perfect and the pacing of the movie is quick.

Its a buy for me and I am starting to like Timothy Olyphant.

8.5/10

"Its exciting, thrilling and at times chilling (though that may have been enhanced by the sub-Arctic air-con)".

Someone else wrote this last part ^^^ and I agree but the odd part is my threater was also freezing....like they cranked the AC about half way in the movie and it was cold. When some of you guys watch it keep a eye out to see if they crank your AC also!

Oh, I think I missed this but I think there is a ending part after the credits.

Make sure you stay till the end and find out!

That's because most Horror films are indeed rubbish.

Nice! This was already going to be a "buy" for me anyways, just so I could put it on the shelf next to my copy of Romero's original version of "The Crazies", but it's nice to know I won't be wasting my money.

And thanks for the tip about the "something" after the end of the credits - I always end up missing those! I'm going to see the movie late tonight; I'll have to stick around. Better to face the parking garage rush than to risk missing something cool... 😄
