Hearing such praise for a remake is both rare and encouraging. I will be sure to pay out the “deserving coin” and go see this at my first available opportunity.

A lot of times I wondered how someone died from this, or why didn’t they die from this. The car wash and the truck driving scene really threw me off, because I was enjoying it and then suddenly that happened and it’s like “…what?”

That said, definitely one of the movies that I went to see without coming out disappointed.

I, much like Matt, enjoyed the original but this is still one of the best remakes I’ve seen. That ending was a little much though but the movie was good enough to let me ignore that.

Per your recommendation I plunked down my dollars and saw the movie today. I enjoyed it. It wasn’t anything special but I had a good time. I must say, Hunter hit at all the issues I had with the film. It is flawed. Especially with the nick of time saves. After the first couple I became desensitized to the scary scenes because I knew someone would save the day before anything really bad happened. That and the silly leaving the wife alone multiple times aside, it had a great setup, creative dialog and a believable cast. I also am a sucker for a good sheriff and deputy team in horror.

I think I am one of the few people that honestly enjoyed the original The Crazies, first saw in a drive in when I was 12. It was a Romero double feature, Night of the living Dead and Crazies freaking sweet! I was very worried about this remake when I first heard about it little over a year ago. I will be seeing this one this weekend.

I’m talking about the typical scene of two characters having a conversation when person A sees something and starts slowly reacting without responding to person B wondering wtf is going on. I can’t stand that in movies.

The Crazies borders on a few of those moments, but it handles them in a much more adult way. The characters actually say what has them so scared and react accordingly.

You are one suave and convincing motherfucker Peter S Hall, and I’d follow you through the hell of an uncomfortably warm room.

But I don’t know what this –> “characters willfully ignoring the pleas of those around them” <– means exactly. Please elucidate.
