The Crazies (2010)
This is a remake of a 1973 film by the same name, original director George Romero returns as a writer and executive producer. A biological weapon is accidentally released on a small town in America and the military come in to clear things up, the virus makes infected people become blood thirsty killers so for uninfected locals things do not look so good.
As this is a remake it should not be a great shock to find that there is very little originality on show here, the plot is very predictable even if like me you have not seen the original. The execution of the film is fine if not especially scary at any point. Where the film is weak apart from it's obvious plot is the lack of characters to really flesh out the town, other than the Sheriff and his wife no one else really gets much screen time.
If you are a genre fan this is a solid edition otherwise I would not seek this movie out 3/5
