The Crazies: Must be something in the water.
Movie Reviews March 2nd. 2010, 6:50pmGeorge Romero is apparently remaking all his old movies for a new generation. I will take the cynical view that making money is easier than taking a chance on a new movie. I have yet to see the original 1973 version (I just added it to my Netflix cue) and am interested in making a comparison once I do. This a rather standard government lets something bad out and has to clean it up story and the only questions are who survives and how long it takes. This is slasher type stuff and the only thing you wonder about is how gruesome the next guy or gal’s demise will be. There is little suspense and we find out very early what is going on. Most of the movie is just our lead characters dealing with crazy after crazy and having fewer and fewer characters left. Will our hero and heroine survive? Will the crazy menace be contained? Will the government do the right thing? Will I spend money on the next movie with this same premise? I don’t know, maybe.
