The Crazies


Imagine a horrible nightmare in which your once peaceful and quite town suddenly changes into a deadly and dangerous place where you and your friends are the only sane people left and are fighting to find a way out of the total chaos. This, my friends, is the plot line of the remake of the George Romero classic “The Crazies” directed by Breck Eisner. The story goes such that David Dutten (Timothy Olyphant) is Ogden Marsh’s sheriff. Ogden Marsh is a pretty peaceful town with law abiding citizens dwelling in it. But suddenly one night out of the blue one of the towns folk comes to a school baseball game with a loaded shotgun and wreaks havoc there.

And then over the period of the next few days more and more incidents take place. The people of the town become infected by a toxin which drives them to their deaths or utter insanity. The government fearing that the toxin might spread uses brute force and completely quarantines the area and no one can go in or out of the town. Amidst all this chaos the non-infected Sheriff Dutten; his pregnant wife, Judy; Becca, an assistant at the medical center; and Russell, the towns deputy sheriff must group together and somehow make it out of the town.
