I liked the premise of the crazies because it deals with zombie-like threats that are not slow, dumb, and undead, but rather smart and weapon wielding.
Sora Dawson Im always iffy on calling those types zombies. If all something does is make crazy, or even a crazy cannibal, i'd think you were closer to just being a psychopath than being a zombie. But that's just me being tired of people calling anything that is a cannibal or crazy a "zombie"
Turi Drowned also a zombie is a reanimated corpse. So Frankenstein's monster is a zombie. Or another example, if I killed someone, and they were for sure dead, and I raised them back from the dead, then they're a zombie. They can keep their intelligence and everything, and go live life normally, they'd still be a zombie.
Citizen Bias actually Frankenstein is not a Zombie all he is at most would be a ghoul or a human reborn and dont zombies need a regular consumption of humans flesh and brains to survive
Raymond St Paul it’s one of only 3 Romero movies that actually got a good remake with the other two being Night of the Living Dead in 1990 and Dawn of the Dead in 2004
@@megaben99 that’s fair, I like the unique story telling of that one. I personally think the original was more bleak and disturbing while the remake was more terrifying as an actual horror film. Both are really good though, and I think they actually are good to watch as a double feature since they kinda compliment each other’s execution of the same basic plot.
can't be sympathetic for a cop who shoots to kill a drunk man in the middle of a crowd of people at a baseball game - who ended up not being drunk but sick.
@@JokersSerious It had nothing to do with him being a drunk, it was because he walked into the middle of the field and raised a shotgun at a cop! what did you think was going to fucking happen?
The remake I thought was more brutal. The scene in the high school quarantine where the hazmats are rushing around containing sick people. The scene where the military gun down that lady and torch her with a flamethrower. Then the nuclear bomb scene was intense and saddening, everything destroyed, everyone dead. The mayor refused to turn off the towns water.
It's pretty creepy because Ogden Marsh is suppose to be set in Iowa. It's not a real town but the city they go to at the end is Cedar Rapids. I'm from there and when this came out it gave me hella chills. Actually at the end a newscaster from Cedar Rapids was in the movie, giving a fake report like it was real. Ughhh creepy stuff.
The Puppet Masters, based on the book by Robert Heinlein. In the book, everyone realizes that the creatures can stick to your body anywhere, and hide under clothing, so the only solution is to walk around completely naked. Shame that didn't end up in the movie.
Ideally I'd like to see a sort of techno virus and not that everyone just starts raining I mean that turned stuff into Electronics say for example the creator of it accidentally gets infected bite and then somehow become sort of the Hive mind realises that and this body he's unkillable in terms of the age so he wants to share this with everyone converting people into robot tech creatures or Android like creatures and maybe it's from the perspective of the Creator in the Creator is a good one in this and because what would actually happen in this scenario people wouldn't want to be turned into a robot so that fight it the government would probably get involved armies fighting all of that they would need to develop weapons they could probably had a lot of the electronics that the army used and then by the end of the movie everyone's been infected and live life with no fear of old age
I still feel like the Military presence kept that air of moral grey. From an outside observer, they defimitely seem more violent and uncommunicative, but from the perspective of someone who's observed what the virus does, its almost depressingly sane why they're so drastic. Someone lashing out because "muh gubmint!" looks nearly identical to someone suffering the effects of the virus. The one comment I'd make on it is that it is a lot more subtle. It gives the more raw look at how a quarantine would have to work, which looks almost intentionally malicious at times.
@MonolithEnforcer What MOS were you possible in that trained you with the intent to kill our own people? That is a lie on its face and you know it. Most people in the military are just like everyone else, they just have a different job and lifestyle.
@Ethan Seal No, you really dont. The hell do ya'll think happens in basic? There's literal precedents for not having to follow an immoral or unlawful order.
@@zacharybutterfras1697 Don't bother, you are dealing with people who don't understand context and look purely on the surface and not underneath. Before I start, bare in mind that I was in the military, 19D and have two family members likewise serving. I talked with them both about this subject, and at no point were they ever taught to kill their own people, but rather instead, to protect them. So I generally feel that those making those statements are anti-military and just looking for something to tarnish the bravery of those who wish to kill their lives in the service of their country. There are standards in place that allows a soldier to disobey what he believes is an unlawful order, of course, you gotta becareful when doing that as what you perceive as unlawful may be lawful in the eyes of the constitution. An example being this very movie. What these soldiers are doing is not unlawful in the least, nor is it unconstitutional. You *have* to contain an outbreak in order to prevent it from spreading to other population centers, otherwise you'll have a major pandemic on your hands. I'll give an example: soldiers being ordered to kill a group of civilians due to being infected with a *not curable illness* that can spread like wildfire and kill others, is not unlawful because there is no known cure. In order to prevent it from spreading, you gotta take out the carriers. Ya, I know, it's harsh and it would be wonderful if people could live - but you gotta remember: The lives of the many outweigh the lives of the few. Again, harsh. But it's better to contain and kill off a population of infected rather than let them mill about and infect the entire country. And yes, if I were one of those infected, I'd be willing to trade my life to ensure that someone else isn't infected. (then again, that might be because I understand that there more lives at stake than my own) However, it is true that the military is trained to kill people (duh, how else are you going to protect your country and its citizens from external *and sometimes internal* threats?) However, it is a myth - an actual lie - that the military trains our soldiers exclusively to kill their own people. I'll be blunt, I'd have liked it if the military was called out to deal with some of the terroristic threats we have in our country (Antifa, for example) but the constitution forbids their deployment within the country unless a national emergency is declared. Admittedly, there have been times that the guard has been called out and yes they have fired on citizens before, for justifiable reasons: Katrina - initially the guard was not permitted use of deadly force, but after *they* were fired upon many times by gangs, those orders were changed. They fired upon gangs that fired upon themselves. They eventually took the role of policing the streets temporarily because the police were overwhelmed and yes they did fire upon looters, but again, justifiable since it was to protect someones private property. There have been a few cases where the guard has been rolled out for various riots that have occurred in our country, but people forget, that the only times the guard has been authorized to shot is when *they* have been fired upon first. For some reason, people think that the guard shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves from an attacking foe. For example, if I were to fire upon a guard member, I'd fully expect for them to return fire. Why? Because I'm a threat to their life and the lives of those around them.
The realistic uniforms protocols and over all how they operate is so fuckin cool and refreshing rather than the fuckwads in TWD and other shit where they have no masks no tactics and no Aim. Here they have a very clear containment plan and they leave orderly and swiftly just like that and of course theres gonna be Dhs or Cia spooks riding around like in the movie.
Why does this reminds me of Higurashi's Hinamizawa Syndrome? These illnesses have similarities but, HS was a parasite and this is a virus... And zomification... Basically the Hinamizawa Syndrome is a condition caused by an unknown parasite which leads to paranoia psychosis, Schizophrenia, and uncontrollable anger... There are 4 stages I think... The last stage can lead you to go insane and either kill others or commit suicide or both... The sickness can even cause the lack of trust in others which causes extreme anxiety... And yeah it also cause you to tear, scratch and pick at your flesh as well...
I'll wait for the nookie conclusion. That would be the horror of our silly lives because humans sucks in real life especially the ROYAL INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS RICH FAMILY.
Yeah, the trope of the nuke happy military doesn't really hold up after god knows how many years. seriously I could somewhat understand the military carelessly dropping bombs on a nation they care nothing about, but their own country? Especially when you consider, the lightning-fast response would require the national guard to be the primary force, you gonna tell me that they wouldn't think twice about shooting and bombing their own friends and family? Y'know the things most people join the army hoping to protect.
It's probably because we have a strong distrust of government in our culture. Making government the cold and calculated antagonist of a story is an easy way to win audiences because it uses their internal fear to confirm their biases. Afterall, the military is really just a highly weaponized branch of our government. If totalitarianism took hold and martial law was declared tomorrow, it's not gonna be the politicians rounding people up and sticking a gun in their faces. God bless the troops.
Romero was always a master of making all the characters seem important and more importantly, real, whether it was a character in one scene or the main character.
Correction: Ogden Marsh is not "nearby" To Evans City. The original takes place in Pennsylvania while the remake takes place in Iowa, near Cedar Rapids.
The 2010 remake scared me and also made me think: "Maybe a virus like this would be a possibility?" I mean think about this: a lot of human beings around the world have emotions or even other personality disorders that can actualy make them do something so horrific, that a virus like in the movie The Crazies can be strong enough, that it can destroy all the good parts of the human brain and turn them into phsycotic killing machines. A lot of people can have violent tendecies and if they wanted, they could unleash them if they choose to do so, only our strong part or the good side of our brain can hold these kind of actions back and also our good emotional states. Everyone has a darkside and to some people, it can be sacrier then any monster.
"We need a source for the evil in the script." "You know the drill: heads evil government, tails evil corporation." "Cinematic gold; flip that coin, Bill!"
I remember watching this film. It was scary! The crazies brutally kill people.. rescuing the girl from being poked by a trident and seeing all the 'rescued' villagers burnt bodies
Why must the military be seen as oppressive? From their point of view, they are trying to stop a deadly virus from spreading to other parts of the country. From another angle, the civilians we are supposed to sympathize with could be seen as selfish for only thinking of themselves and not considering the wider systemic harm that could happen if the virus escaped the quarantine.

Gabriel Clarke The 2010 version is an absolute Masterpiece at least I think so. No matter how many times I’ve seen this movie or how many times I will continue to watch it, I will ALWAYS Love this💯💯🖤♥️
That lab technician never gets tired of *being right* about the events in Romero movies. Too bad nobody ever listens to him. But he looked more badass with the eye patch on... ;-)
I personally agree with the military heavy handling of the outbreak in the remake, screening has failed its best to assume everyone not in the military is infected and to cleanse the town.
Daniel Masterson That’s funny. The Bay is a chain of department stores in Canada. Owned by the Hudson’s Bay Company, the world’s oldest existing company which started as fur traders. But I’m imagining the parasite from the department store.
Saw this movie in the theater and at the end I just sat motionless staring at the screen until everyone else had left. Didn’t get any huge reactions but I saw a few people look back at me as they walked out. 😂
Timothy Olyphant was my favorite actor for like 5 years lol it seems like he had a "peak" and then slowly started to fade since he was in the Hawaiian Vacation thriller back in the 2010's (ish) with Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich called "A Perfect Getaway." (That everyone should see.)
He focused his time on his TV shows, Justified (2010-2015), Santa Clarita Diet (2017-2019) and had other small TV and movie roles during that decade. A Perfect Getaway was released in 2009 and is indeed a brilliant film. Tim Olyphant is still my favorite actor. Pitifully underrated
I love the remake, it's one of my favorite horror movies. I wished they had made a sequel to it with the next town looking like it was going to get quarantined.
How come old movies can be turned into like 4k resolution movies, it always was weird to me how cameras back than could capture that kind of definition but unable for them to view it,
most of their videos are like 7 minutes but this one was longer. i appreciate they do this genuinely because they love this films and not as a monetary network keep it up !
Man I love this movie, Olyphant always excels and he delivers with this one. Sheriff Dutton has to be one of the smartest movie characters I've watched
ForsakenGaming 👏 I really liked that movie and this is the first time I've seen someone mention it in a comments section. Starting to think I was alone in my adoration of it.
I prefer the original because of two factors one was the unknown factor when it came to guessing who infected. What I mean is there are scenes where people are panicking and is it the virus or just fear from the military? I also love David's decision to keep quiet he is immune as a F you to the military and government for what they did to his wife, friends, and town.
Wait... Ogden Marsh is a town over and the original had an infected escape the original town, so the 2010 movie could be a sequel instead of a remake. It would be a great remake but this fact alone sort of eludes to the entire 2010 Crazies being a continuation of the original... KOOL! I never realized that detail, even though I have both at home.
The guy that burned down his house @ the beginning of the Re-Make, yea u said it wuz his 2 "Children" but its His Wife n Only Son who are wit him n are killed in his house fire...

TheConservative Juggalo I agree💯! The Crazies is such an Amazing movie. I love this movie so much!
And you wouldn’t want to see the original, my man
@@florants6214 agreed, the crazies remake completely owned the original
Very underrated actor and movie
Yes to both!!
That lab technician never gets tired of *being right* about the events in Romero movies. Too bad nobody ever listens to him. But he looked more badass with the eye patch on... ;-)
I thought that's who that was when I first seen this video. Nice.
The ending after credit scene is that like supposed to be a sequel. It would be badass to see a sequel in a huge city. And how did it get to the city
Being from Cedar Rapids, Iowa this movie scared the hell out of me when it came out
I enjoyed the remake so much, I saw it twice in theaters. That pitchfork..... ugh.....
this is the most wholesome comment section i've ever seen
I personally agree with the military heavy handling of the outbreak in the remake, screening has failed its best to assume everyone not in the military is infected and to cleanse the town.
The remake is my all time favourite horror movie because it’s not only scary but could easily happen .
You should do the parasite from The Bay
I'll add that to the list Daniel :)
Yes 👏
Daniel Masterson That’s funny. The Bay is a chain of department stores in Canada. Owned by the Hudson’s Bay Company, the world’s oldest existing company which started as fur traders.
But I’m imagining the parasite from the department store.
The Bay is about a town infested by mutant isopods. Many people die, military takes over, survivors leave and the mutant Isopods are left unresolved.
This film should not be in a zombie film list , but in a separate category with the likes of Quarantine n 28 days later
Reminds me of crossed .... Please do another crossed video
The remake is one of my favourite films of all time.
Saw this movie in the theater and at the end I just sat motionless staring at the screen until everyone else had left. Didn’t get any huge reactions but I saw a few people look back at me as they walked out. 😂
Don't forget, Radha Mitchell is essentially the queen of sci-fi movies. She is fucking amazing as a support/main character.
Love this movie! The remake was filmed in my hometown🤗
more virus videos!
Man I love these virus videos another one well done, thank you!
Thanks Michael!
This was a great remake. I would love to see a sequel.
i love "The Crazies" its one of my favorite films list
Same!
Watched both these movies for the first time year before last, thanks for your take on Trixie.
It is the most reallife zombie scenario in my opinion
I love this movie. I'm a sucker for these virus/zombie movies and this is one of my favorite movies of the genre.
Timothy Olyphant was my favorite actor for like 5 years lol it seems like he had a "peak" and then slowly started to fade since he was in the Hawaiian Vacation thriller back in the 2010's (ish) with Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich called "A Perfect Getaway." (That everyone should see.)
He focused his time on his TV shows, Justified (2010-2015), Santa Clarita Diet (2017-2019) and had other small TV and movie roles during that decade.
A Perfect Getaway was released in 2009 and is indeed a brilliant film. Tim Olyphant is still my favorite actor. Pitifully underrated
I love the remake, it's one of my favorite horror movies. I wished they had made a sequel to it with the next town looking like it was going to get quarantined.
It's eerie how simular this virus is with The Crossed Virus.
Idk why I love rewatching this video. Your videos are all very well made.
Rip The Legend George Andrew Romero😭✌🏻
I remember when this movie came out it wasn't that popular, just another passing movie of that year. It was an amusing movie.
How come old movies can be turned into like 4k resolution movies, it always was weird to me how cameras back than could capture that kind of definition but unable for them to view it,
I love this remake so much. So underappreciated.
Don't forget about the virus from "The girl with all the gifts" ;)
Weeb I’m reading that book right now!!
I havent forgotten :) theres a huge list haha
Weeb nice plus nice name
ChillBill 2004 Thanks random guy.
God damn this is so hard
most of their videos are like 7 minutes but this one was longer. i appreciate they do this genuinely because they love this films and not as a monetary network keep it up !
So it's like the virus from the anime Higurashi.
Whoa.....I had no idea there was an original......I wanna watch that one now.
Epic Video
cheers YuniSAO :)
Man the crazies still gives chills.
Love your videos mate
Man I love this movie, Olyphant always excels and he delivers with this one. Sheriff Dutton has to be one of the smartest movie characters I've watched
i love this channel
I didn't think I would like this movie, but I really did enjoy it when it came out.
Year 2020, I'm here because of the Corona virus plaguing our nation. Finding virus movies!😨😳
Spooky...How does it gets you.
In reality virus make us confuse, that is how it bites.
it's scary how well this films aged
Damn that last scene, wasn't she the pregnant woman?
GoldenTV3 no. It was the pregnant wives friend
@@TopRivers She was pregnant too lmao
The remake is my favorite horror movie of all time and I want to check out the original movie now
The great and powerful TRIXIE!
The 2010 remake is one of my favorite horror films of all time. I should watch the original.
Great job! And yea I really liked this movie, not gonna lie I liked the remake more than the original
Feels kind of like early Resident Evil games in a way
Did Peter call?
Original was great, but I love the 2010 version, it's definitely one of my favorite horror movies of all time.
Can you please do the virus from re kill my 3rd favourite zombie film after 28days later and land of the dead
ForsakenGaming 👏 I really liked that movie and this is the first time I've seen someone mention it in a comments section. Starting to think I was alone in my adoration of it.
Danielle Vaughn omg I've found my kind I felt the same its never mentioned or talked about
I loved the remake when it came out. However since I've never seen the original, I'm inclined to watch it at some point
Do the flair from the maze runner series
its on the list already!! :)
FilmComicsExplained your actually going to do it! Awesome!!!
Oh wait...so the remake is actually a sequel? "Set in the nearby town of Ogden Marsh." That's awesome!
I prefer the original because of two factors one was the unknown factor when it came to guessing who infected. What I mean is there are scenes where people are panicking and is it the virus or just fear from the military? I also love David's decision to keep quiet he is immune as a F you to the military and government for what they did to his wife, friends, and town.
Great video. Love the 2010 version. When to the premiere in Chicago and got see an interview with Rhada Mitchel. She was really nice.
Almost seems like a "crossed" movie
Wait... Ogden Marsh is a town over and the original had an infected escape the original town, so the 2010 movie could be a sequel instead of a remake. It would be a great remake but this fact alone sort of eludes to the entire 2010 Crazies being a continuation of the original... KOOL! I never realized that detail, even though I have both at home.
The guy that burned down his house @ the beginning of the Re-Make, yea u said it wuz his 2 "Children" but its His Wife n Only Son who are wit him n are killed in his house fire...
I like it, it's clever and subtle and very grounded in reality.
How about the "babel" virus from Pontypool?
When you mentioned him mowing the lawn while his house is burning it reminded me of Danny Devito in the movie Other People's Money
