Critic Reviews

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    [A] respectable update.

  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

    While it loses the charm of Romero's low-budget clunkiness, it is in all other regards superior.

  • Ian Buckwalter, NPR

    The incoherence is made all the more disappointing because Eisner displays a great deal of raw talent for the genre's tone and set pieces.

  • Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York

    Unlike Romero's film, what's missing is a trenchant sense of connection to our historical moment.

  • A.O. Scott, At the Movies

    It's kind of crazy, but it's also pretty smart. And if your nervous system can stand it, you should see it.

    "THAT SHI CRAY." That was my response after watching "The Crazies". The crazies in the movie are CRAY. It's not the usual mindless zombies that we're used to; these guys are smart, use tools, communicate, and set traps. As you can imagine, you don't… More

    A well made horror remake thats tense and quite scary. In the style of horror classic such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre its scary without blood and gore.
