    Not especially original content wise, some of them (as in the 'fan sequels'), but none were 'fan remakes' ... so, nyah, ya cheeky bugger.
    I dunno, a new storyline with the same basic plot elements and the same title, just with a new number thrown behind it? Hmmmm. . . sounds a little name rapey to me. . . . .

    Trailer #2 here.




    This one makes it look like they're really playing the "infected/zombies" card. But I do dig the beginning with people just acting weird...

    doesnt looks too bad to me, a little iffy but reminds me of 30 days of night which was one of the last horror flicks i genuinely enjoyed so i'll give it a shot.

    Ha! Ending on a runaway bonesaw chasing a man ...

    I'll see it, but the original will still kick this remake's ass - as is usually the case.

    Plus, they've completely ruined one of the best things about the original - you could never tell just by looking at someone if they were infected or not. Codename Trixie just turned people nuts, but on the outside they appear perfectly normal - which we see a hint of in that trailer - and yet, they insist on copying 28 Days Later and going all open-mawed, screaming-like-banshees, fucked-up-eyes, veins-all-over-the-place 'zombie' (to MTV morons who don't know the differences).

    Sheesh.

    I'm not seeing any men in white hazmat suits sporting rifles either - another hugely defining image from the original movie that made it so compelling.

    Why is this in Dead Discussion? The Crazies isn't a zombie movie.





    I'd move it ... but I'm a lazy fucker.

    Jesus, you guys are tough crowd to please.

    It looks ok to me, I'll check it out, hopefully I'll enjoy it as much as Dawn 04.

    Original Crazies comes to Blu-Ray in a few weeks as well...

    Oblivion gallops closer, favoring the spur, sparing the rein - I think we will be gone soon

    I'll have to pick that up as I didn't realize it was being released on Blu.
    I'll skip the remake and stick with the original.

    Just saw a trailer for this on the big screen (read: movie theatre). Looks okay, but yeah, wish there was less "28 Days" influence... still, might be fun.

    Inexplicably, this gets a 4/5 in the latest issue of Total Film, which came in the post today. Haven't read the review yet, but the "In Short" review tag says:

    Switching from fight film to holocaust metaphor without ever relinquishing its popcorn flick credentials, this is a vivid portrait of small-town apocalypse that earns its place in the annals of horror remake excellence.


    I'm not buying it.

    Since I generally have the maturity of a five-year-old, the word "annals" stuck out to me.... *chortle*. I know, I'm pathetic. As far as it being a classic... anything, I doubt that, but... yeah, might not suck completely.

    For some reason I'm really just not interested. Somewhere along the line I just stopped caring about this remake.
