I like the realism of the young soldier confessing he doesn't want to be there and didn't join up to kill civilians, so he lets the group go. There's following orders and then there's doing the right thing even if it puts you in jeopardy, and I choose to think that most police and military personnel would do the exact same because they're still people, not some brainwashed robot of the military that just pulls triggers when ordered.
Nice theory but have you seen the way they act and use the “I was just following orders”? even the stop oil protestors get given cups of tea by the police after gluing their hands to the road
A biological research lab working on such dangerous materials would have their own disposal protocols, not ship it on a plane in some weak crate... Even the most basic lab would have an autoclave to destroy any prion, virus, phage, bacteria, amoeba or parasite... Also, if you succesfully escape from a situation like this and your first idea is to visit the next town because surely you aren't infected.. right?
be careful man, many times i watch a recap thinking it was good, then i come across the movie and decide to watch the whole thing and realize it was actually a bad thing to watch the whole recap before watching the movie. my general rule is, if im really into a recap a few minutes in, ill stop and watch the whole movie.
The film has a phrase that stuck with me for some reason. Goes something like "Don't ask me why I can't leave without my wife and I won't ask you why you - can". Impressed me real hard in my youth.
This is a remake. The original was written and directed by George Romero, the guy who invented the modern zombie genre, back in 1973. This time he was only the producer and writer.
8:38 When I watched this movie a couple years ago, I remember thinking this car wash scene was ridiculously hilarious. I kept saying, "Why is everyone screaming and panicking so much? It's just a car wash!!!" That was my 13-year-old brain.
This movie is so underrated. I've watched it multiple times. Recently I came across the original and tried watching it but switched back to this remake 10 min later.
ok look this may not seem super smart, but honestly this is probably one of the only movies where the military did the right thing about a zombie apocalypse.
If only they didn't start it in the first place through negligence, but they shouldn't have waited so long to drop the bomb if they were going to do it.
@@nicolaspeigne1429 it seems the military initially tried a more conventional disease containment approach by evacuating the healthy civilians and quarantining the infected so they could be treated. Unfortunately the situation spiralled out of control so they ended up destroying the whole town and everyone in it attempting to stop the spread. As we see in the last scene the disease still ends up spreading anyways.
More like the Rage Virus from 28 Days/28 Weeks Later. Not specifically zombies, just rabid, insane, killing machines. John Ringo has a set of novels about a "zombie" infestation like this. I can actually see a disease/biological warfare agent being developed like this. Wipe out all the higher functions and just turn men into wild, kill-crazy animals. None of the super-human strength from I Am Legend. I enjoyed this movie very much, but I am also a huge Timothy Olyphant fan because of Justified and Live Free or Die Hard.
In 28 Days Later, the rage virus was more zombie-like as you can recall, the infected would bite other people. In The Crazies, there was no cannibalism at all. The differences are actually quite clear. The rage virus characteristics also caused a primal reaction where consciousness appears to be gone, whereas in The Crazies, the infected are quite calculating and methodical in their actions. The only similarity is their thirst to kill.
@@Kadasberry11 but they still werent "zombies." They starved because they were not eating the people they bit. My comparison is they were still human and alive, just had nothing but an animals will left. In the Crazies they still were able to drive and use weapons. They just were violently insane with no self control. To me, The Crazies, 28 Days/Weeks Later, John Ringos Black Tide Rising series are the scariest of all, because I can see someone developing a weapon to create that world. In BT Rising they even talk about the guy that created it was likely in a bunker somewhere laughing his ass off as the world burned.
@@jefferydraper4019 The reavers in Serenity were much like this. Government program to make docile citizens went horribly wrong, 90% stopped moving outright and died after days of dehydration, while 10% became super-aggressive without any empathy for their victims.. yet still capable of all higher functions, like flying spaceships and doing raids on other planets for supplies and people bring back to torture...
It bugs me that the military and doctors can't piece together the potential of pregnant woman who may have been exposed because that's probably the most likely way for some kind of immunity to form
It was a man made weapon to begin with that the government made. I don’t think they need a vaccine. And if they did they’d already have made one when they made the weapon. Also it didn’t matter since they gunned down all the healthy people too. They probably only wanted the infected ones to run tests on before killing them too.
It bugs me that you can’t piece together the fact that the military and doctors had no way of knowing that the woman was pregnant. With the incubation period being only 48 hrs and fever being a main symptom, you really cannot guess if a normal looking woman with a high fever is infected or in the early stages of pregnancy
Yeah, the idea that pregnant women can form an immunity to the disease within their child is just pure fantasy. Literally a made up last ditch effort movie-ism.
Not that it really mattered. The military planned on killing everyone anyway. Infected or not. Remember this happened because the military was conducting illegal bioweapons testing. When the plane crashed and infected the town, that information would have came out if any of the townfolk survived. The government was covering for themselves
Stop being bugged folks. The military and doctors weren't there to help the people, so it didn't matter if they were just pregnant. I'm not sure why they bothered to label healthy people since they planned on killing them anyway
The problem is this would mean lacrosse would be entirely destroyed but we can't let that happen otherwise it's GTA Online Energy will jump over to another town. It's better to keep it where it is.
@@Ween3Well I mean Florida is already a GTA Online server but the difference to Lacrosse is, in Florida all the GTA type shenanigans are spread out over the entire state while in lacrosse it's all concentrated within one city therefore magnifying the gta type shenanigans.
I had no idea there is original from 1973. I will not watch it as it is too old and I doubt I would enjoy it as this movie, but all this time I thought this (Crazies) was unique/original idea never done in such way.
"removing the valve so nobody can turn it back on" - except those, who have a pipe wrench 😂 "The cutter is coming after David" - Oh, c'moon, just jump over it! 😂 What's the point of the wristbands marking "not infected" if they can get infected later any time? 🤔
The novel The Texas-Israeli War had an incident of an LSD type agent being put into the London water supply by the IRA drives the city insane, and the Prime Minister and Parliament started a nuclear war.
It's not really zombies. It's just that heir behavior become aggresive. Like high on drugs they dont really eat people but they feel satisfied everytime they are violent.
The moment I saw Timothy Olyphant had to pause and go download. They don't make horror movies like this these days. Loved every scene! Reminds me of 28 days later.
The Crazies 2010 is a remake of The Crazies 1973 by George Romero! Lynn Lowry from the original movie has a cameo in this one as the lady on the bike...
Do y'all remember just recently (2023) a US military plane mysteriously crashed after its pilot ejected and the jet carried on flying for another 100km - but it took the military a while to locate the plane?
Yeah, the sci-fi aspect of this movie is that the response was so rapid. You call the government to report an issue, you get some minimum wage customer service rep.
@@dallasyap3064 ok than do you remember when the US crashed a B-52 and lost 2 nuke and to this day still havent found the main stage of one still left buried there
@@aoki6332 I remember there have been several B-52 crashes while carrying nuclear weapons, and since the 1950s the US has lost about 6 nuclear warheads (not sure whether are of them were carried from the B-52s).
This film might have been one of the first i ever purchased from the iPad app, its really great! And up there with interstellar but not close to 28 days
This movie was badass I forgot about it! Gota rewatch it man and I never rewatch anything! It's filmed so well, and from 08 just like the TV show I'm watching now Flashpoint (a swat kinda show on paramount plus). But u can tell flashpoints 15 years old, this movie is done so well u can't tell it's over a decade old at all it could literally pass for a movie that came out this year
I live in Iowa and can confirm these events did actually happen.
Yea, ofc they did xDddd
I live in Iowa too fort Dodge man😱
I've been to Iowa and I can confirm these guys live there
I listened to the album Iowa and I heard their voices, I vouch for them.
waterloo for 18 years now the CR/IC area @@antoniobrown247
I feel like this movie is so underrated.
it also feels like it is missing a chunk of story at the end, i guess budget was running short by then
@@D0NU75 I'll say this it definitely feels like they said we need to wrap this up.
It really is, it’s one of my favorite horror movies
Dude it is movie so hard and so many meanings
it is, but the original is better, the twists are more severe
I like the realism of the young soldier confessing he doesn't want to be there and didn't join up to kill civilians, so he lets the group go. There's following orders and then there's doing the right thing even if it puts you in jeopardy, and I choose to think that most police and military personnel would do the exact same because they're still people, not some brainwashed robot of the military that just pulls triggers when ordered.
"not some brainwashed robot of the military that just pulls triggers when ordered" but most "patriots with guns" are, but usually not in the military.
Psychology says they wouldnt. When people are being given orders from someone in charge they are more likely to do things they normally wouldnt
Nice theory but have you seen the way they act and use the “I was just following orders”? even the stop oil protestors get given cups of tea by the police after gluing their hands to the road
hahahahah
Agreed
Let’s be real This would happen For real if There was a Zombie Apocalypse
@osamabinladenssecondgirlfr4241 Well, didn't work out in the end. The world is still going to face a Zombie Apocalypse because of the open ending
@@Kanerudo ye true but if i was those 2 i wouldnt want to kill myself even if im infected so imma just infect the rest of the world i guess
a zombie apocalypse like in the movies would never happen in real life.
For Real
They aren't Zombies. Zombies don't use weapons they are stupid and slow and very hungry for flesh.
This movie never left me because of the pitchfork scene. They did a great job making that a really tense moment.
A biological research lab working on such dangerous materials would have their own disposal protocols, not ship it on a plane in some weak crate...
Even the most basic lab would have an autoclave to destroy any prion, virus, phage, bacteria, amoeba or parasite...
Also, if you succesfully escape from a situation like this and your first idea is to visit the next town because surely you aren't infected.. right?
If I remember correctly it was planned.
Yeah, I think it was planned as a controlled experiment...and the city is pretty small and far from each other for this reason
like Typhoid Mary
Covid-19 says otherwise
Wuhan would like to have a word
somehow feel like better to watch recaps than the whole movie. and this one was really good. worth time
Same, it saves me a lot of time. Watching 15-30 min recaps is much quicker than watching 2+ hour movies
This is easily one of the top ten zombie movies of all time. So well done! 👍🏼
I just wish the a.i. would describe things properly
I just finished watching the movie…. It’s better than a recap

Ok
Have you seen how powerful they are? It’s not just like a person washing the car
Russell was so goated, he saved their life multiple times and even while infected he accepts his death
As an Iowan, I can confirm this happens every Wednesday
The fact it was Ogden too was hilarious
@@mycatsnameisgizmo4677 yeah if I had the choose one place in Iowa where it would actually happen it would be Ogden

Are they trying to tell us what they did in Hawaii?
This is a gripping, thought-provoking horror film that combines relentless suspense with a deeper exploration of human nature.
Such a good movie, sad it never got a sequel.
I watched this yeaaarss ago shit was scary when dude walked in with pitchfork
It would be woke and ruined I'm glad it was stand alone
ok ok, literally noone in the county near that place would fall for "gas explosion" after a nuke is dropped
This was a good remake. The Crazies.
Not gonna lie this was a good movie because theses zombies or somewhat zombies where kinda like land of the dead zombies but a lil smarter
They're zombie like killers just like Nightmare City and The Sadness
Russ the real MVP🎉
