After a mysterious virus makes infected people incredibly violent, the locals must fight for survival while uncovering the conspiracy behind the sudden military occupation. Subscribe to our second channel: tinyurl.com/Movie-Recaps
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
@@vanizorcsometimes i watch only a sbort part of the recap and then see if any of my streaming services offer that movie. a full movie can give you emotions that would be lost on a recap. I like to watch full recaps on movies that arent very well produced but have a good Story. For that its more than enough.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
"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? 🤔
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).
