I loved horror movies when I was younger. Just like most boys, I guess. I never really found zombie films that entertaining though. I wathced my share, that’s for sure – but the whole concept of “the living dead” never really did it for me. Not long ago I watched “Day of the Dead” and even though Mena Suvari is an  excellent actress, and AnnaLynne McCord can make a grown man cry, the film thoroughly sucked. I actually promised myself that I would never again watch a zombie film.

Then I saw this trailer… I must admit, “The Crazies” me curious. Got to give props to the whoever decided to mix in “Mad World” halfway in to the trailer. Brilliant move. I’m sure, in the end this is just another zombie-ish film with the same ingredients as the others. But, it made me interested. so it deserves a spot in the limelight.

A husband and wife in a small Midwestern town find themselves battling for survival as their friends and family descend into madness in The Crazies. A mysterious toxin in the water supply turns everyone exposed to it into mindless killers and the authorities leave the uninfected to their certain doom in this terrifying reinvention of the George Romero horror classic. One day the residents of this picture-perfect town begin to succumb to an uncontrollable urge for violence and the horrific bloodshed escalates into anarchy. In an attempt to contain the epidemic, the military uses deadly force to close off access into or out of town, abandoning the few healthy citizens to the growing mayhem as depraved killers lurk in the shadows. Sheriff David Dutton (Timothy Olyphant); his pregnant wife, Judy (Radha Mitchell); Becca (Danielle Panabaker), an assistant at the medical center; and Russell (Joe Anderson), Dutton’s deputy and right-hand man, find themselves trapped in a once idyllic town they can no longer recognize. Unable to trust former neighbors and friends, deserted by the authorities and terrified of contracting the illness themselves, they are forced to band together in a nightmarish struggle for survival. In theaters: February 26, 2010.
