A lot of fun for horror fans, a nice little jaunt through paranoia and conspiracy theories.

Despite a midfilm lull of his own, Eisner stages a series of nifty action sequences, nearly all of which feature a moment of surprise, as well as gruesome wit.

Delivers the essential suspense goods with overall skill and a modicum of intelligence.

The crazies themselves could be a lot more terrifying. Without the rotting ickiness of proper zombies, they just seem like methed-out Iowans looking for a fix. That’s scary, but not scary enough.

I greatly prefer this cleverly sustained and efficiently relentless remake to the '73 edition. It is lean and simple.

The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen
Part zombie movie, part apocalyptic bioterror, part military conspiracy thriller, the refit hybrid doesn't stint on the visceral kicks demanded by contemporary audiences while remaining reasonably true to those Romero roots.

An entertaining fright movie that’s crazy fun and full of genuine scares.

You may not remember The Crazies in a month, but you'll have a grand time watching it.

A perfectly competent genre film in a genre that has exhausted its interest for me, the Zombie Film.
