George A. Romero is a horror legend thanks to his many zombie films, including the grandaddy of them all, Night of the Living Dead (1968). Several of his other features, however, have gone egregiously overlooked -- at least to the mainstream public -- including The Crazies (1973), Martin (1977), and Knightriders (1981). They're not perfect by any means, and they all suffer visibly from shoestring budgets, but there are bits of brilliance in each of the three. So it's no surprise that someone saw fit to remake/reimagine/reboot The Crazies (2010), and to do so with a sizable budget and a strong cast. The original followed a group of people in a Pennsylvania town who've somehow managed to stay sane once a virus infects pretty much everyone else, turning friends and loved ones into crazy killers. Upping the stakes, the military has descended on the town, determined to contain the spread of the virus,...

Next week director Breck Eisner will unleash his terrifying reimagining of George A. Romero’s classic film The Crazies onto audiences everywhere. Dread Central was given the opportunity to catch up with the man who helmed the project to talk about what makes his Crazies so terrifying and what the status is on two projects he’s been attached to - Flash Gordon and The Brood remake.
To ensure The Crazies resonates with today’s audiences, he brought the horror down to a very simple science: Make the threat something we all need to survive. Water.
“To me water is life, and it’s something you just can’t live without,” explained Eisner. “So, what happens when what you need to survive is no longer available? I wanted everything about The Crazies to feel authentic for the audience, not like Outbreak where you have these people roaming around in oversized suits.
