The Crazies (February 26, 2010)
The Crazies gets overlooked a lot when the hot-button topic of horror remakes is brought up (I even failed to mention it in both of my recent remake articles), but it’s actually a pretty solid film. Breck Eisner’s adaptation of George A. Romero’s 1973 film. It’s got a top-notch cast including the likes of Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell and Danielle Panabaker. The whole thing is a little by-the-numbers, but it’s got a nice, creepy atmosphere and some fantastic set pieces (the pitchfork scene is a standout) and definitely worth your time.
