The Crazies

How could I possibly pass on the chance to gaze upon Timothy Olyphant on the big screen?

Crazies_1-sheetmech_121509.inddThe Crazies is his latest project, a thriller in which he plays a sheriff whose town falls victim to a mysterious craziness that turns its heretofore law abiding citizens into rabid murderous maniacs.

The finished product is not a spectacular masterpiece, but it’s pretty good for the genre, which is a great accomplishment, considering that horror/thrillers often turn into comical or pitiful globs.

Acting, writing, direction, visual effects, and makeup are all quite good so I would recommend The Crazies to anyone who’s into this type of movie.

You certainly won’t be bored, and it might make you jump in your seat a couple times.
