The Crazies

The Crazies

That’s right, The Crazies is being released on DVD on June 29th, 2010. I’m sure I’ll remember this film for a long time because we (Mutantville) saw it  in the theater with the legendary Matthew Ewald.

For the most part I liked it. The camera angles were good. Nice camera movement. Great zombie or infected make up though. It is a remake of the George A. Romero film. You’ll notice on the credits that Romero was an executive producer on the film. The original film came out in 1973. To make the new film period, everyone walks around in bell bottom pants to the disco soundtrack. Ok, none of that last sentence is true. :)

If you’re thinking about picking it up on DVD, Help us out and get it here. We greatly appreciate the assistance!

The Crazies Movie Review

With its lurid title and anti-government paranoia, The Crazies bears the stamps of the 1970s original from the start, but it fits our times remarkably well. We’re discovering poison in baby formula from China, so how much of a leap is …

George Romero’s 1973 horror movie, reissued in advance of a new remake, isn’t one of his zombie films, but carries a similar thematic charge.

Hammer Films New Releases

Recently, while looking up some Hammer Horror films, I discovered some new releases that are going to be released. “The Resident” with Hillary Swank and Christopher Lee. According to Hammer Films’ website, “Let Me In” based on the award winning Swedish novel and film, “Låt den Rätte Komma In” will be released in the US on October 1st, 2010. They also mention their film “Beyond the Rave’ which marks their return return after a 20 year absence.

Here is a link to information about “The Resident” on the Hammer Films site.

While doing more research I found some more interesting articles:
