The 2010 remake of The Crazies (1973).
The original perplexed me.
It has always had a good reputation in certain circles and before I got to see it I was keen, anticipating a decent George Romero film made between the first two zombie films.
It was a bit of a disappointment, truth be told.
The one aspect I really liked was the ambiguity as to if certain actions were down to stress, military command or mind bending viral infection.
Like the remake of 2004 of Dawn Of The Dead (1978) the film starts with a Johnny Cash track (the ever so British We'll Meet Again) and like that film, what follows is a largely good film, respectful of the source material but also significantly freed from it to strike out in new directions.
Unfortunately the new directions are where the film falls down.
The infected people sport obvious make up effects which makes it less easy to keep the paranoia factor going and without giving too much away the tone goes from John Carpenter circa 1980 to Paul W S Anderson circa 2002.
When it's good it's much better than the original but when it's not so good it's not as good as 30 Days Of Night (2007).
3 Balls.
