The Crazies (2010)

Hey scary movie lovers! As this is my first blog I'd thought I'd start by telling you about one of my all time favourite scary movie: 'The Crazies'.

Genre: Horror
My Rating: 10/10
Scare Factor: 8/10
Gore Factor: 3/10
Humour level: Low
Suspense level: High
Rated: 15
Cast: Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell.

At the end of this film, I felt I could once again breathe easy; a function I had forgotten to do while watching it!
The Crazies is about a small town which unfortunately becomes a chaos zone when people begin going insane after catching a virus which leads to them killing even those closest to them. It follows the struggle of David, his wife and close friends as they try to escape the now quarantined town and all the terror within it.
I personally love any good virus film as I find myself guessing the whole way through: who has it? And this film certainly doesn't dissapoint! Not only are we holding our breath that they dont have it, we are also praying that each moment they find sanctuary there isn't a 'crazy' lurking around the corner!
This is a very intense film which reduces the humour to a minimum, so if you're looking for a laugh as well, you ain't gonna find it here! However with several shocking moments and plenty of surprises it will have you covering your face with a pillow as the suspense is kept constant throughout!
For all you people who get queezy at gory scenes I can tell you that isn't the focus of this film. The gore is kept to a minimum level but there are however a few bloody scenes which you may have to look away for!
This film is definitely a must for any scary movie fan!
