The central idea of a whole town going crazy Is great. Having the Army step in to seal the town up makes it better. In terms of originality, this is a ten. Unfortunately, the budget and the ideas that aren't fleshed out enough are a problem.
The recent remake of the Crazies was, in my opinion, one of the best remakes of all time. It really built on the ideas of government secrecy, the horror of the infection, the relationships between the protagonists and also kept the reason the infection secret until the end.
This films broad strokes are excellent. The theme of the army finding a cure are a little boring and I was glad they were cut from the remake.
