THE CRAZIES (2010 version)
A remake of a 1973 film, the 2010 incarnation of The Crazies is a gripping tale that follows a small-town sheriff (David) as he and his pregnant wife (Judy) strive to escape from their community after the outbreak of an illness that induces murderous behavior in those infected. David gradually pieces together that the epidemic stems from a contaminated water supply (a military plane carrying an experimental bio-weapon crashed in a body of water nearby). David and Judy must deal with not only their newly-psychotic neighbors but also the military troops that have been sent in to contain the outbreak.
The Crazies is filled with numerous excellent sequences in which it seems time and again that there’s no chance for the protagonist and his wife to escape. Two nearly back-to-back scenes (one in the nursery in David and Judy’s house and another in a car wash) stand out as being among the most harrowing circumstances I’ve ever seen a cinematic hero overcome. If you’re in the mood for a thrilling story about a struggle for survival against overwhelming odds, spend one hundred minutes enjoying the 2010 version of The Crazies.
