Just watched: 'The Crazies' - A New Zombie Type?
Apr 6 2010, 1:53 AM EDT
Ok...so I've just watched the new film; The Crazies.It centres on an outbreak of a viral agent in a rural American community, the story of the main character as a survivor in an outbreak scenario, and the government response to the outbreak. Now...the primary point here is that the viral agent which is released and contamintes the community turns people into mindless psychopaths. There are incidents in the movie of people murdering and killing their closest relatives without any hesitation or problem, and destroying things seemingly for the sake of it and at random. The government response to this outbreak is also somewhat questionable, although entirely feasable I suppose? Following quarantine procedures they begin evacuating people and checking them with the most basic of medical tests, seperating possible infected from probable uninfected, and rather than spoil the movie for you, let's just say that it begins to get a little extreme from there on out... Do you find this valuable?

Now what I want to know is: the virus which the community were exposed too took away reasoning, created an almost 'zombie-like' state, and made them respond violently to both infected and uninfected alike, but they retained their capacity to use even complex tools and day-to-day items, use radios, weapons, etc..., and so: can we add this type of 'Crazy Zombie' to the officially recognised set of 'Viral Type Zombies' which as far as i remember includes:'28 Days Later' or 'Left 4 Dead' - "Rager" type viral-zombie 'Resident Evil' - 'Shambler' type viral-zombie variant So a newly proposed: 'The Crazies' - 'Slow-Psycho' viral-zombie type - typified by; 48 hour incubation period - irrationally violent and argumental responses following infection - untypical, strange, distant behaviour - discolouration of eyes, and veins across most of the body in later stages - outwardly calm, yet irrationally homicidal behaviour - higher pain threshold than normal - death can be induced by: any normal means used to kill a regular, uninfected person.

I made a related thread as soon as the movie came out and I watched it, but mine didn't turn into a giant spoiler.

"I made a related thread as soon as the movie came out and I watched it, but mine didn't turn into a giant spoiler."The adverts gave away more than I did. Do you find this valuable? |
