Preview: The Crazies (2010)

Synopsis:

A small town must combat a plague of unusual behavior that the military seems to want to quash.

• Poster: B-

Review:

The "friendliest place on earth" sign is a nice touch with the "Help Us" emblazoned across it. While it's not the most inventive or original poster, it sufficiently accomplishes its goal.

• Trailer: C; C

Review:

The trailer makes this look too much like your typical zombie flick set in a small town with government involvement. It seems a little too eerily like Resident Evil to me.

The first trialer almost seems more interesting because it sets up dramatic tension about the citizens' changes in behavior, but this second trailer seems to jump faster into the concept, but also keeps the interest in the film at the same level.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
