The Crazies

[SephYuyX]

Anyone else see it?
In one word: Dissapointing.

While there were some funny moments (though I doubt they were trying to go for funny), I was just dissapointed.

Here I was hoping for some crazy shit, but it was far from. It was an ok watch up to the point where they figured out what was going on, you know, where they were sleuthing and trying to figure out what was happening, but once it reached the turning point of 'omg somethings wrong here', it just fell apart.

It's just no different from any other 'zombie' movie, theres nothing special about it, in fact, aside from the amusing deputy character, there really is no saving grace at all.

Spoiler: show

It follows the formula:
1) Oh look, someone is infected.
2) Huh, something odd is going on.
3) Omg this is what happened.
4) Look, more infected people!
5) Here comes the armed forces to save the day.
6) Whoops, they failed, we better run.
7) Oh right, because they failed, theyre just going to nuke the place.
8)Nuke.

So yeah, typical bad 'infection' movie. The place gets infected, they try to stop it, but fail, and just nuke the place to bits.

I did however laugh a good few times at some of the stuff. I did love the missle out of fucking no where to the squad car. Also I have to give them props for the knife stuck through the hand thoat stab kill shot, I hadnt seen that one before.

Surprized there were no 'zombie' dogs.

Oh, I almost forgot. So the whole town is infected, and youd think there would be a shit ton of crazies running around. How many are actually shown? About 10. Yes, a zombie movie that only shows about 10 zombies.

Idk, if you can watch it for free, it's not horrible, it's slightly entertaining, but dont pay matinee for it.

I was gonna watch this tonight i think

[SephYuyX]

Well thats what I was expecting, a movie that has a a lot of mindless killing. I wasnt expecting anything going in.

But when there are only about 10 zombies shown throughout the whole movie, with one or two good kill shots.. It was sad D: And the laughs wernt because it was actually funny, but because it was so bad.

I did find it midly entertaining, yeah, just dont expect a blockbuster. See it if you have some spare cash I suppose.

This is pretty much what I expected, thanks for the input. Piratebay for sure.

Seph, I think we saw 2 different movies.

I just got back from seeing this, and throughly enjoyed it. My friend and I both agreed it was a fun movie. It's not really a zombie movie. Much like 28 Days Later aren't zombies. They're simply Crazies! What "zombies" were in the movie were well done, and it there were a lot of really tense moments. Standard horror stuff I guess. I'd suggest if you like these kind of movies to give it a go.

[Chocoboy]

Thought it was a pretty good watch. Wouldn't rate it very high but there aren't a lot of other amazing movies out right now so we decided to check it out.

This place is filled with unspoiled spoilers.

too be honest, this is one of those movies you see with a girl because they get freaked out and hold on to you

sure the story is pretty unorigional, but i liked it alot

Well it is a remake of a 1970s movie. I didn't see this one, but I imagine unless they reteaked it, it's going to be a rather overused plot.

[Talfus]

I liked it alot.. But then again I went it with no expectations at all and generally like all zombie movies.

BTW can anyone find a wallpaper of the final scene in the movie where they're holding hands in silhouette?

[Titanss]

This movie is off the chain so far 1 hr 12 min in.. hope the ending is pimp

Edit:That movie was badass. Sorry OP didn't see it the way you did, and I'm a tough critic

Saw it with my GF, got her to jump a few times. Had to stop cuz she threatened to leave me at the theatre

I liked the movie, it was decently suspenseful. I sort of don't understand what happened to the people though. Like:

Spoiler: show

The first guy seemed to be pretty much just mindless and wandering around. But then later on when his family was in the sheriff's home, they seemed to be aware of what they were doing and were obviously infected (right?)

Also, the deputy. He was starting to annoy me when he started to do stupid shit.

And last thing: the hunters. I'm assuming they are infected, as I'm pretty sure they were in the truck stop at the end. When they were trying to make their way to the sheriff's house, were the hunters infected in the town, or just being douches and shooting everyone? I want to think they were infected and just aware like the mother/son, but it's strange because the farmer and principal were more zombie-like in their actions.

Imo, if you like thriller movies I would catch a matinee. I think it's worth the $5-6 to see at least, plus you don't have to deal with kids.

[Howard Roark]

I don't remember much, it didn't leave much of an impression on me, although I did make my gf pay for this one as I definitely didn't want to see it (we went with her friends, they thought Orphan was hilarious, I hate their collective sense of humor)

the movie looked good visually though, it didn't look cheesy or any other obvious turn-offs

I give it:


meh out of 10
