Frankly speaking, The Crazies is like a "Grindhouse" in action, an old school thriller, but filmed with a serious mien, without exaggerated nostalgia for the good old days, when the cinematograph was able to produce the thrills using the simple means. All this we watched millions of times already, this is the task of directing talent here - to impress the audience at the sight of the same in a one million and first time. And if the original version of "The Crazies" was to heavy on political satire and protest against the Vietnam War, a modern remake is already deprived of these options…

It was produced and distributed by Toho Studios, the company behind many kaiju films, including the "Godzilla" series.

One thing those involved agreed upon was they did not want to simply remake a great spooky classic like 1982's The Thing by John Carpenter or even its predecessor The Thing From Another World from 1951. We don't need to remake classics like Jaws or The Exorcist and The Thing is another that is better off leaving intact as it was so perfectly done initially. But this is more a prequel and as such does not step on the original. This story involves the same characters but with a somewhat different timeline and plot because these are the same ones already dead when the original movie began. Now we learn their side of the rather spooky story about the wolf like apparition that consumes its prey then assumes their identity completely.tarring Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Live Free or Die Hard, Make it Happen) as Kate Lloyd, a paleontologist who joins up with the Norwegian team of scientists who happened to stumble upon an extraterrestrial space ship that's crash landed in Antarctica. The pilot, Carter, who is played by Joel Edgerton from Separation City, Smokin' Aces teams with the crew to stop the alien creature that assumes the form of anything it eats and then becomes them to fool humans and take over. This is what "could have happened" if the 1982 version took another path and one of the best non-remakes to come along in a while.

Ariel Schulman is returning to direct the fourth sequel in line of Paranormal Activity movies. Filmed in 2012 for pennies (as always) Paranormal Activity 4 features the same actors in the same roles. Kathryn Newton portrays Alice while Katie Featherston plays Katie. A little boy named Robbie is played by Brady Allen (remember the kid from The Middle?) and Matt Shively (the voice of Sky from Winx Club franchise) stars as Alex. The story of Paranormal Activity 4 is quite predictable, and hinted from the previous movies. It follows the mystery of family disappeared in 2006 which, a story recorded by numerous of cameras installed all over the house, where, now, the other family must go thru their horror drama, and we have a chance to watch every frightening moment documented by both IP cameras and Skype videos. As it may be concluded the movie style and way of filming are not the subjects to change from one sequel to another, and there is a quite obvious and very pragmatic explanation of this fact; this is the one and only working business model the allows Paramount Pictures to keep churning out hundreds of millions dollars out of every low budget Paranormal Activity until the wheels fall off.
