Post by: cueperkins on February 25, 2010, 07:39:30 PM: well, if you're that bored

Take out those papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spending cash
If you don't sweep that kitchen floor
You ain't gonna rock 'n' roll no more

Yakity yak
Don't talk back

Just finish cleaning up your room
Let's see that dustpan with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don't go out Friday night

Yakity yak
Don't talk back

You just put on your coat and hat
And walk yourself to the laundromat
And when you finish doing that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat

Yakity yak
Don't talk back

Don't you give me no dirty looks
Cupie's hip she knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friends outside
You ain't got time to take a ride

Yakity yak
Don't talk back

Yakity yak, Yakity yak, Yakity yak, Yakity yak ........

The Crazies (1973)

Unsettling in a very realistic way.

After the success of his classic Night of the Living Dead (1968), horror master George Romero followed up with this low-budget thriller.

Airplane crashes outside of a small Pennsylvania town and unleashes a bio chemical substance that turns the locals into murderous psychotics. The government steps in, but only makes things worse... far worse.

George Romero's films have long been known for their violence, disturbing nature, and social commentary and this early film is no exception. The Crazies has exciting action wrapped all in a thought-provoking and unsettlingly believable story. There's plenty of moments of gore and a number of scenes that are quite horrific (burning preacher anyone?). Romero's direction is nicely done, providing tense atmosphere and using the rural locations of Pennyslvania well.

Cast-wise some of the performances of this film seem a bit forced, but the performers do manage to hold it together. Harold Wayne Jones, Will MacMillian, and Lloyd Hollar are the best stand-outs.

While The Crazies is often forgotten among the horror films of the 70's, it's a good film from a great director. A must for Romero fans.

___________________________________________________________

A terrific low budget paranoid thriller!

Romero's zombie classics 'Night Of The Living Dead' and 'Dawn Of The Dead' are two of the best horror movies ever made, but they really cast a huge shadow over his career. Romero made two movies in between that are seriously overlooked, the fascinating character study of a vampire(?) 'Martin', and 'The Crazies', a paranoid thriller in a similar vein to the Dead movies. While not actually a zombie movie as such anyone who enjoys NOTLD or DOTD will find much to admire here. The budget is very low so the production values sometimes leave a bit to be desired and the acting is variable, but overall I think it's a terrific movie with some interesting echoes of both NOTLD and the Vietnam war. Will MacMillan (David) and Lane Carroll (Judy) aren't familiar to me, and neither is Lloyd Hollar who plays the Colonel in charge of the quarantine (he's very good), but cult fave Lynn Lowry ('Shivers') plays space case Kathy, her Dad (Richard Liberty) will be recognized by anybody who has seen 'Day Of The Dead', and David's 'Nam buddy Clank (Harold Wayne Jones) went on to appear in Romero's 'Knightriders'. And then there's the wonderful Richard France playing a similar character to the one he would memorably play in DOTD, an outraged scientist. 'The Crazies' pretty much flopped back in the 70s but looking at it now restored for DVD it's obviously one of Romero's best and a must for any horror buff. The commentary track by Romero and William 'Maniac' Lustig is also highly recommended as it offers lots of insights into the highs and lows of low budget film making.

Flattering REMAKE!:

The Crazies (2010)

Is "The Crazies" based on a book?

No. The Crazies is a remake of George Romero's 1973 thriller The Crazies. The original movie was rewritten and adapted for this movie by screenwriters Scott Kosar and Ray Wright.

Even if you haven't seen the original, if you are a fan of the genre or have been dragged to a movie like 28 Days Later by friends, then you'll recognize many of the recycled elements: the strange occurance, arrival of the military, heroes in peril from both the crazies and military, the infected loved one/friend, the attempt to flee the area, the explanation for what's happening, and of course, the non-ending ending. There really is nothing new in The Crazies (which might be okay since it's a remake of one of the originals in the genre).

I suppose my biggest complaint is that there just wasn't enough CRAZY in The Crazies.The title for me invokes images of random and excessive violence directed at infected and non-infected alike and I don't feel it delivered. There certainly were a few good moments, like in the carwash, or in the baby's room, but the movie never fully developed that ever present sense of danger.

I'm a 42 year old Male Caucasion and I live with my Mother. (Tello told me to say that.)

6/10*

I am eyeing OH's computer desk and I think he will need to put a few things away. He has forgotten how much cats love to investigate. My computer area is cat proofed. Smug smile! Famous last words :lol: It will be fun to have a cat "typing" once more.
