The Crazies (2010). This wonderful little horror entry shows that a good script and great film making can trump originality. While Romero still gets kudos for creating the era, films such as this are still able to drive it forward. Of course, the solid cast added tremendously to its success, with Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchel deserving the top billing. Their chemistry takes away any guilt when our prayers are answered by predictable outcomes. The supporting cast was solid as well, with a surprising performance by Danielle Panabaker and with Joe Anderson deservingly threatening to steal the Show. The direction was more than competent, and the camera work took full advantage of the vast landscape in contrast to some of the more claustrophobic scenes. Overall this was one of those rare remakes that outshone its predecessor. Merci beaucoup.
