The Crazies is a remake of the 1973 file which is basically about the inhabitants of a small town suddenly plagued by insanity and then death after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply. The government tried to contain the toxin but fails and chaos breaks out. Is this movie as boring as the plot sounds?

The Crazies feature a redundant plot and story, but this movie delivers in the horror genre. This movie does not feature some teens trying to survive that you have no sympathy for in the end. It features a loving cast that you support all the way to the end of the movie. Do not get confused with some zombie epidemic; these people are fast-pace smart-ass crazy breeding hillbillies that are out to kill people for the fun of it. Several scenes will make you jump in your seat and make you go to bed wondering if your water is safe to drink. Of course, the movie have some minor problems like the middle plot features a person who could be possibly contaminated but is carried along anyway. In addition, the characters still do dumb stuff like leaving one another alone when you should be together at all times. This makes me want to bring out my horror list dos and don’ts.

In the end, do not let my minor cons prevent you from seeing this movie. It is better than what most will suspect and can keep the kids quiet for a day or two. I loved the film and wish more horror movies could take the journey approach rather than the teens trapped in the middle of nowhere. A nice soundtrack, good characters you can relate too, and one hell of a crazy ride that make you hold on to your seat.

I give the Crazies an 8 our of 10.

Russell Clank: I saw a movement!
David Dutton: Everything is fuckin’ moving!

Paranormal Activity
by Morez King

Let’s start with how good the movie appeared when the trailer was posted everywhere. We all assumed this movie was a real document of ghost, but of course it was not. A normal movie with a bad acting cast. The movie have its good and bads but I will tell you if it delieved in the thriller category.

Paranormal Activity is not a horror film but more of a thriller. It features a couple living in a house that is haunted. The plot could be better as you spend more time focused on where a ghost may appear then actually listening to the actors. The movie becomes predictable when the couple film everything and the ghost only appear when they are sleep. The time frame on the camera gives away the horror. It speeds up and slows down when something scary is about to happen, making it very predictable. The only thing that made this movie creepy was the loud bass and sound effects when the ghost did stupid shit like pull the sheets off the bed. Maybe it was the open window? The husband becomes obsessed with filming everything and do stupid shit to irritate the ghost and the wife does stupid shit like complete 5 different alternative endings! There is no music no other people, just a house and them stupid ass people. The house is also a suburban style vacation home that can be rented in Florida. Now really the best setting for a haunted house. Nothing scary here but the chick yelling loud and the ghost slamming doors.

Overall, the movie is just another Blair Witch Project that was a big hype but huge let down. The fact this movie is coming out with a part two that looks just the same is ridiculous. They spend more time sleeping in the film then actually being a real couple. Their life looks VERY BORING. No TV, no fun just stuck in the house all day filming fucking ghosts that does not exist in their vacation home. Therefore, This movie is a pass.

I give this film a 4 out of 10.
