What The Crazies is
Quiet Main Street, 7 a.m. April. A dropped coffee cup shatters in the empty square. Neighbors grin through barred doors, voices flipping into screams. Four friends lock themselves inside a hardware store as the town’s last sane faces turn violent. Eisner’s 2010 remake feels like Romero’s zombie light: daylight chases.
