Plot: Imagine living in a small town where everything is safe and happy…until suddenly it isn’t. Imagine your friends and neighbors going quickly and horrifically insane. In a terrifying tale of the “American Dream” gone horribly wrong, four friends find themselves trapped in their hometown in The Crazies, a reinvention of the George Romero classic.

I remember when this first came out. I wasn't really sure how I'd feel about it considering the concept. Then the trailer came out and it portrayed it as an interesting drama/horror film so I figured the least I could do was give it a chance. It definitely delivered on the horror aspect and there more than a fair share of suspense; but, it wasn't something that really screamed at me to see it again.

I have watched it a few times on cable.
