The Crazies - DVD

Good movie to watch, not over the top on the gore, relies more on the suspense then a lot of movies anymore.

The Crazies is one of the few 'horror' movies I felt actually lived up to its trailer. While most horror films show all the best parts in the trailer and have nothing left to show you once you pay, The Crazies tells a cohesive story where the characters don't make you cringe with their idiotic choices. More than a straight horror film, it delves into suspense/thriller and disaster genres as well. While this evolution may turn off straight horror fans, for me it seemed to give the film some longevity, no third act dropoff here!

I will start by saying that I did like this movie. It had lots of tense moments, and some stylish action. The acting was pretty good. My only complaint is that the plot was not explored enough. They speak maybe a couple times very vaguely about why all this carnage is happening, and the rest of the movie everyone is just running wild. It is worth watching though, and would be a good addition to your DVD collection.

Loved the movie. We saw it at the theater first and purchased the DVD because we wanted to see it again. The Snickering Boy's laugh was great and even had others in the theater laughing during a climax scene. Very impressed by the director's vision and the ending really surprised me but was a great twist. Highly recommend it to others.

The movie reminds me of the old "B" horror movies from the past. You know how it will end, but you keep watching anyway. It was fun to see a movie, just be a movie w/out the extras. The plot is simple, the acting is good.
