The Crazies (2010)

I greatly prefer this cleverly sustained and efficiently relentless remake to the '73 edition. It is lean and simple.

You may not remember The Crazies in a month, but you'll have a grand time watching it.

Despite a midfilm lull of his own, Eisner stages a series of nifty action sequences, nearly all of which feature a moment of surprise, as well as gruesome wit.

A lot of fun for horror fans, a nice little jaunt through paranoia and conspiracy theories.

Part zombie movie, part apocalyptic bioterror, part military conspiracy thriller, the refit hybrid doesn't stint on the visceral kicks demanded by contemporary audiences while remaining reasonably true to those Romero roots.
