Stephen King had a write up in Entertainment Weekly about "Carriers". He was a big fan, but didn't wan to oversell it.
Revenant looks like about 300 other movies I've already seen.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I liked the original Crazies the first time I watched it when I was much younger. I tried re-watching it about 10 years ago, and it just looked really dated and sort of seemed incomplete. Not a terrible film, but to me anyway, it didn't age well. It definitely inspired 28 Days Later and those types of films though (including Carriers), so I respect it a great deal for that.
I'm mildly optimistic about both of these films.
And yes, Revenant looks like a ton of other ideas re-hashed, but the spin of these guys wiping out the dregs of society has me intrigued. If the comedy works, it could be a fun picture.
