The Crazies

This is a paint by the numbers modern "zombie" movie. I think George Romero was one of the executive producers. It stars Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell as a couple in a small midwestern town who must try to find out what's going on and then escape when more and more of their neighbors start going berserk and comitting shocking acts of violence. Unlike "Funny Games" or even "The Strangers" there's not a REAL feeling of suspense in this movie. But it's still well made and worth watching if you have nothing better to do with ninety minutes.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
