10 Ridiculously Underrated Movie Remakes Everyone Must Watch

5. The Crazies

You'll never guess who directed this one, but give it a chance regardless.

Released in 2010, The Crazies is a propulsive and prophetic remake of Romero’s apocalyptic thriller from 1973.

A sci fi horror wherein a small town falls victim to a mysterious disease only for military quarantine to prove an even bigger threat than the virus, this paranoid post 9/11 update stars Scream 2's Timothy Olyphant as the beleaguered local sheriff trying in vain to maintain order.

An underrated social horror, this mash up of satirical commentary on the military industrial complex and fast paced, terrifying gory horror is easily the best film to come from… Sahara's Brett Ratner?!

Okay, okay, but the movie is great. Promise.
