While our own Arrow was rather lukewarm toward it, THE CRAZIES has some good buzz building ’round the campfire. It’s gone into media blitz overdrive of late, and here’s one more goody to quench your thirst for those loony townsfolk…
Apple.com has just premiered a “sizzle reel” for Breck Eisner’s film, which is a fancy way of saying “a brief making-of video”. You get to hear some of the cast and crew talk about the horror flick, as well as catch a few glimpses of some of the more freaky sequences. Check it our right HERE.
A husband and wife in a small Midwestern town find themselves battling for survival as their friends and family descend into madness in The Crazies. A mysterious toxin in the water supply turns everyone exposed to it into mindless killers and the authorities leave the uninfected to their certain doom in this terrifying reinvention of the George Romero horror classic.
The American Dream goes horribly wrong when the residents of this picture—perfect town begin to succumb to an uncontrollable urge for violence and the horrific bloodshed escalates into anarchy. In an attempt to contain the epidemic, the military uses deadly force to close off access into or out of town, abandoning the few healthy citizens to the growing mayhem as depraved killers lurk in the shadows. Sheriff David Dutton (Timothy Olyphant); his pregnant wife, Judy (Radha Mitchell); Becca (Danielle Panabaker), an assistant at the medical center; and Russell (Joe Anderson), Dutton’s deputy and right—hand man, find themselves trapped in a once idyllic town they can no longer recognize. Unable to trust former neighbors and friends, deserted by the authorities and terrified of contracting the illness themselves, they are forced to band together in a nightmarish struggle for survival.
THE CRAZIES will run loose on FEBRUARY 26th.
