‘The Crazies’ Scares Up a Teaser Poster

Not really sure how this one is going to play out.   The original, George Romero film, in my opinion, is a hidden gem.   Breck Eisner isn’t exactly the second coming of horror directors.   It’s hard to get the taste of ‘Sahara’ out of our mouths, but his entry into the “Fear Itself” anthology, “The Sacrifice,” was atmospheric and offered a few scares.   That’s saying alot for that show.   You also can’t really go on the Olyphant factor, who always gives decent performances but his hit-and-miss record for good movies is pretty much down the line.

This new poster courtesy of Shock Till You Drop doesn’t really do much service to the film.   It’s not your typical, Photoshop job of actors’ heads over a black background, so, for that, it gets points.   On the other hand, there really isn’t much in terms of the style of the film that can be garnered from it.

We’ll all find out on February 26th, 2010 when ‘The Crazies’ comes out.
