As a toxin begins to turn the residents of Ogden Marsh, Iowa into violent psychopaths, sheriff David Dutton (Olyphant) tries to make sense of the situation while he, his wife (Mitchell), and two other unaffected townspeople band together in a fight for survival.
About the inhabitants of a small Iowa town suddenly plagued by insanity and then death after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply.
REVIEW:
Breck Eisner’s The Crazies is a movie unashamed of what it is; a zombie-centric gallery of jump-scares and gore moments. There’s the quaint little town where things start to go horribly wrong, the erstwhile sheriff who wrings his hands with each new terrible discovery, and of course, an endless number of scenes where characters wander into the dark and are immediately pounced upon by the soundtrack. It might sound like I’m slagging the movie, but I’m not. The Crazies is a bloody good time and it works because of these elements.
It’s been years since I’ve seen Romero’s original, but the new film feels like it lives right down the road from that one. Ogden Marsh is a happy, sleepy little burg in Iowa; one of those cinematic farm towns where everyone shows up to the little league games like they were the World Series. One afternoon, Sheriff David Dutton sees the town drunk marching across the ball field in the middle of a game…holding a shotgun. The deputy shoots him down before there’s any real trouble, but here a mystery begins.
David learns the drunk had been sober for years and the coroner report shows no signs of alcohol. Like an epidemic, more violent events occur, all over town, following a seemingly inconsequential path. A family is burned alive inside of a house while the husband mows the front lawn, there’s an immense plane sunk in the swamp nearby, and the moments of rural farm life are interrupted by ominous shots that seem as if they are being broadcast via satellite feeds. The film moves at a merciless pace, and at the half hour mark it takes an abrupt turn from horror towards a more action/sci-fi oriented direction.
As a result of events I won’t go into here, Sheriff Dutton (Timothy Olyphant) and his faithful deputy (Joe Anderson) find themselves in the burned out wreckage of Ogden Marsh which now looks like a ghost town, fighting their way past the now infected and insane populace and another more menacing threat, which they are less equipped to battle against. They are trying to find David’s pregnant wife, Judy (Radha Mitchell), who has been quarrantined in the town. In and back out will be a harder task than the one facing the misplaced gang in Walter Hill’s The Warriors. On this day, the entirety of the universe, minus his wife and deputy, has decided it is against David Dutton.
There isn’t a second of The Crazies you haven’t already seen somewhere else, and the movie sets up a clear delineation point regarding who will enjoy it; you can either tolerate a high-strung jump scare or you can’t. This movie is so chock-full of them that a drinking game could easily be created. But the movie looks great, and the corn fields, the bright, baby-blue skies, and white-washed all American townsfolk are all turned in on themselves to evoke dread, mistrust, and dark currents of governmental intrusion. The Crazies aren’t exactly zombies, but they perform almost all the same functions. Gas masks, high-powered sniper rifles, and trucks loaded down with human cargo evoke a concentration camp kind of imagery. This milieu is filmed in a gritty, frightening way and there’s something startling about the manner in which Eisner goes about ripping the town apart.
Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell and Joe Anderson deliver strong work as the central survivors and they form a believable bond. Olyphant, seemingly channeling 1980′s era Michael Biehn, and Mitchell have good chemistry together and their husband/wife connection is the simple but strong structure upon which The Crazies hangs our investment. We want to see them make it to the end of this nightmare even if Ogden Marsh is a goner.
The violence is graphic but not depraved or terribly overdone. The entire film moves forward with a relentless, determined energy and it doesn’t have time to linger over mutilated bodies. There is every kind of demented attack you could think of, but Eisner gives them all a certain zest and creativity. A scene involving a knife, a wounded hand, and a rampaging attacker drew cheers from the audience. My personal favorite was seeing an out-of-control coroner brandishing a bone saw like it was Steven Tyler’s guitar. The Crazies does take itself seriously, but it’s less politically and socially charged than Romero’s original. It also has a healthy sense of black humor that actually elevates it a bit in my eyes. It is unlikely that a horror fan will go into this and come out disappointed. Fortunately, Eisner has made it palatable for the rest of us too.

CRAZY EIGHT BALL Should I have a third child?
Hi! I know you all are very frank and honest, so I will be, too! We are considering a 3rd youngin. We have a 6 yr old first grader (girl) and a 2 1/2 {3 in a couple of months} (turd). . . oops, I mean, (boy.) The daughter is mine from a previous relationship and my husband and I weren’t married yet when we had the “turd”. Is it wrong to want another because of that and the fact he was deployed from 5 mon until 2 yrs old with the turd? I want to get to experience that “baby stuff” with my husband. OR should we just enjoy the fact that they are finally old enough that we can get a babysitter and go out (and practice!!!!) SMILE! Whatcha ya’ll think? Am I nuts? Is it simply because the turd doesn’t need me as much anymore?
Lol I love the turd thing.
If you and your hubby both want another baby, I say why not? Technically your husband only has one child anyway, and even if your husband had been there for the first bit of turd’s life then he might’ve wanted another child- it might just be an ‘excuse’ for both wanting another child. If you have another now they’ll be a nice age gap between them too.
Good luck!
