Such a frustrating disappointment

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

What I really love about this movie, was the main character. He really did the whole movie for me.Usually, in zombie movies or "OMG it's a horrible disease that spreads quickly!" movies, the characters wait around until the story forces them to act. But not in this movie! This movie's protagonist takes the initiative, he isn't waiting around to be killed once he gets the gist of things. He starts off trying to help legally, and then resorts to the illegal. He was & is a well written character, his actor was fine as well but not something too amazing or interesting.Pros:Well written protagonist & support Cool and somewhat realistic plot Well done action scenes Cons: It takes a bit of time 'till the story kicks in, but I believe it's worth the wait

Well acted, no stupid characters, decent dialogue, and very few plot holes. Why didn't this movie get more recognition? I remember being super excited for it to come out and it meeting all of my expectations.I would really recommend seeing this and adding it to your list of great horror movies produced in the 21st century. There are so few.

This remake takes the plot line of classic horror story and elevates it above the norm for the genre with the use of tight pacing, good acting and great cinematography.This is a tried-and-true formula movie of friends and neighbors strangely turning into murderous "zombies" due to some unknown infection and how our heroes survive despite all odds. The original was made in 1973 and, true to the era, casts the government as the bad guys - having created this infection as a biological weapon. The original movie split the point-of-view between the townspeople and the government agents so the plot was more apparent from both sides. The remake keeps the same antagonist but does not try to reveal the government's plans or voice the government's justification for the actions undertaken. The result is that the heroes and the audience are kept in the dark for a longer period and the tensions are increased accordingly.One point of differentiation between this movie and other "zombie" movies is that the creatures do not seek to eat the flesh of the humans (thereby reducing the gore factor but there is still plenty of scene that are unsettling) and retain a sense of their actions (allowing them to seek revenge and work in teams). Yes, teams of zombies working together. Scary.While I generally do not like horror movies, I would almost classify this more as a thriller with some sic-fi and horror elements. And the elements work quite well together.For my other movie reviews, please visit:https://nomorewastedmovienights.wordpress.com

The Crazies (2010) Another re-watch , I know I have seen more then once before, I don't think I saw it in full in my second watch, so I gave it another ago again! I have not see the original for a very long time, I didn't think was all that great, I do remember that I did enjoy the remake better on my first watch. However It took me while to get into movie, I was actually wasn't really paying to much attention for the first half. Again for this movie the second part of the movie kinds of moved a little bit more, I found some parts really good and fun to watch. One or two decent Crazies (No, I am not calling zombies, there not zombies)_kills not many gory ones, most of the times , they just being shot dead. I really liked some of the make up effects for the Crazies, some looked really good and scary! The one think I am little confused about was why did some Crazies actually look scary and some just look like normal people!The acting was decent from the whole cast! 6 out of 10, Again Not as Good as I remembered
