The Crazies, Breck Eisner, 2010

The unlikely Romero renaissance continues with this ably mounted tale of local apocalypse, executive produced by the legendary director and based on his 1973 film of the same name. Following in relatively close succession from Zack Snyder's solid Dawn of the Dead remake and Romero's continued (and increasingly pointed) series of zombie films, the present climate seems particularly tuned to political allegory of the undead variety.
