Trailer for the “Crazies” remake is a steaming pile of….
A lot of people have been saying good things about the trailer to Romero’s classic flick The Crazies. I don’t see it. The egregious use of Gary Jules’ cover of “Mad World” is grossly inappropriate for the tone trying to be conveyed throughout the film. I do understand why they used the song – contrasting the lyrics and soft tone with the events in the film – but it unnecessarily extends it way past the point of caring and reveals way too much about the “crazies.” The trailer should have ended right before “Mad World” begins, which would give the audience a small taste of the inevitable gruesome madness it is promising. There is absolutely no hook, and as a result it fails miserably.
Decide for yourself. Thoughts?

After watching the trailer, it’s not really appealing to me either. I’m thinking its going for the same type of thing that the happening did, and they will blame it on water or something. But its been done to death. I haven’t been feeling horror movies, but i hope the next strangers is as good as the 1st.

I think it looks great. The hook for me is that the movie looks like a huge adrenaline rush, not unlike the Dawn of the Dead remake.
