I would like to thank the makers of this film for dumping the equivalent of explosive diarrhea straight into my eyes. Not only does this trailer make a monolithic mockery of Romero’s original film The Crazies, but it also felt the need to squeeze out another foul smelling nugget, time in song form. Mad World set the tone for the ‘02 pseudo sci-fi flick Donnie Darko. That’s where it was born, and that’s where it should remain. I don’t need some pretentious film school grad turning a classic horror/thriller movie into something sappy and artistic. This does NOT bode well.

Granted, Tears for Fears did do the song first. Though as for the film, I agree, a remake to “The Crazies” is not warranted; especially if it’s going to look like this.
