Gary T Loved it.. moves at a good pace. Whilst there are a couple of moments of corny acting (towels/bedroom), overall I think the acting pulls of a good (better than original) remake. The special effects are good without going over the top, story line pretty much believable (in the fiction world), and tension kept up from the get go. Its also relatively a good intro to horror for mid to late teens. (not too much swearing, sex or repetitive gore). But why oh why cant wives and girlfriends stay out of trouble!!!! (joke :)) Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Julian S Everything you want in a remake: staying true to the original’s vision while leveling up its execution. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Tyler B It is managing to maintain suspense well. Good enough, even as a remake. Despite its inevitable, curtisophical doom amongst modern part-time critics. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Audience Member A brilliant take on the infection sub genre, showing how anger can take hold of the human mind, at the hands of a deadly virus. It was a very beautifully shot film, with many of the scenes bringing me awe. The character development and the stories fluidity however, could've been improved, as with a longer run time or more focus on the development, i believe that the film would've felt more fluid and that i would have gained a stronger feeling towards the characters. All in all, it was a solid film, that had many things it did great and some things it could've improved upon Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Justin T This is very well made but it is not great. It is just about above average. Considering that most people will have some basic idea of what this film is about having read the synopsis or seen the trailer, I think that they spend way too long setting up the premise. Even if you knew nothing about this film you would work out what they are building up to way before they get there. And this build-up offers very little in the way of characterisation but that is because the characters are generic and forgettable. Although, if you buy into the atmosphere then this setup is not as tedious as it sounds. The problem is that the forced jump scares go against this atmosphere. And this atmosphere is further ruined with some mild comedy. I saw the original The Crazies (1973) a long time ago so I don’t remember it that well but I can fairly confidently say that this film is better than the original but less memorable. There are some good gore and violence but plenty of convenient and unrealistic moments with them. The ending is a bit of an anticlimax. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/04/24 Full Review Ian F A highly respectable and respectful script (with a healthy dose of wit); commendable standard of acting; impressive special effects; relentless and at times claustrophobic tension - all combine to allow us to overlook the occasional holes in the plot.
