Four friends find themselves trapped in their small hometown after they discover their friends and neighbors going quickly and horrifically insane.
Arizona Republic by Bill Goodykoontz
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.
Chicago Tribune by Michael Phillips
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.
Boxoffice Magazine by Pete Hammond
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.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
A perfectly competent genre film in a genre that has exhausted its interest for me, the Zombie Film.
Orlando Sentinel by Roger Moore
