The Crazies

Director Breck Eisner hits all the right notes to keep a perfect balance for a satisfying horror film. A toxic contamination in a small town starts affecting the people in bizarre and deadly ways before all hell breaks loose as the sheriff and his wife fight their way to survive the ordeal when the government forces join the mayhem. Eisner and his writers manage to navigate the story without getting derailed which is quite an accomplishment in this genre. The only problem is the title and marketing which doesn't capture the scope of the film which is unfortunate. The solid cast includes Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell and Joe Anderson.
