Oh my God... Really?
I guess Hollywood's not even trying to be subtle about disableism anymore! >:(
The Crazies - 1hr 41min - Rated R - Action/Adventure/Drama/Horror
David Dutten is sheriff of Ogden Marsh, a picture-perfect American. But one night, one of them comes to a school baseball game with a loaded shotgun, ready to kill. Another man burns down his own house, after locking his wife and young son in a closet inside. Something is infecting the citizens of Ogden Marsh -- with insanity. In an effort to keep the madness contained, the government uses deadly force to close off all access and won't let anyone in or out -- even those uninfected. The few still sane find themselves trapped: Forced to band together, an ordinary night becomes a horrifying struggle for survival as they do their best to get out of town alive.
As if the ever-declining quality of American horror wasn't enough to keep me away from this, the gross stereotyping/demonizing of the mentally ill guarantees that I won't be seeing this film. Honestly, so many horror films are guilty of that, but this is just ridiculous. The Crazies??? REALLY??!!
