The 2010 remake of George A. Romero’s classic anti-war B movie The Crazies is bound to please any fan of horror and sci-fi films. Jam packed with suspense, action, and its share of gore, The Crazies is a genuinely frightening and suspenseful film which few movies to come from North American film makers in recent years could match.
But The Crazies isn’t just thrills and fake blood, it carries forward the anti-war message of the 1973 original. When a top secret bio-chemical weapon is accidentally released on the population on a small town, it results in many of the townspeople being turned into homicidal maniacs. The military intervenes, attempting to contain the effects of the weapon through the use of brute force against all those who are, or may be, infected. A small group of citizens are left to navigate through unspeakable horrors in an attempt to escape through the danger of infection, gangs of trigger happy soldiers, and murderous “crazies,” to freedom.
The Crazies is also partnered with the Chemical Security campaign being run in the United States by Greenpeace which is working with other environmental groups for strict legislation to protect people and the environment from exposure to dangerous chemicals from plants and factories with unsafe processes.
If you don’t get a chance to catch The Crazies in theaters, watch for it on DVD later this year. You won’t regret it!
