The Crazies - DVD Review

***

Starring Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Joe Anderson and Danielle Panabaker.
Directed by Breck Eisner.

Gets the right combination of scary and funny. It's a remake of the Romero flick (which I never saw) about an entire town whose water supply is infected by a chemical that turns everyone into homicidal maniacs. The camera makes us peek around corners we maybe don't want to, and it'se nice and paranoid about government screwing things up. Not a classic, but an above-average entry in the horror genre.
