Go To

1* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: After the discovery of the body, Russell mentions that Travis King had mentioned something unusual.
2-->'''Russell''': You know, last week Travis King was goin' 'round sayin' he heard something crash out by Hopman Bog. I didn't think nothin' of it-\
3'''David''': [[CryingWolf On account of him being full of shit]]?\
4'''Russell''': As a general rule.
5* HarsherInHindsight: After the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic, the extreme measures taken to enforce quarantine, and the extremes taken by the civilians to evade it, are a ''lot'' harsher.
6* HesJustHiding: While the ending acts as if [[spoiler:everyone besides Judy and David was massacred after being evacuated, is killed by Crazies, or gets nuked, some fans think that the military couldn't have fit that many people in the trucks where Judy finds dead evacuees and speculate that up to a few hundred people may have been evacuated for real and/or escaped to Cedar Rapids separately from David and Judy]].
7* OneSceneWonder: The captured young soldier who was thrust into things with no idea about what is going on and decides to defy JustFollowingOrders is a huge highlight of the movie despite only having about three minutes of screen time.
8* RemadeAndImproved: This film is a rare example of a remake that was not only more successful than [[Film/TheCrazies1973 the original]], but also received better reviews from critics and audiences alike, who praised the cast, script, and direction, among other things.
9* StrawmanHasAPoint: Russell shooting the bodies of Peggy and Curt Hamill is a sign of infection but it's shown to be justified. The crazies have a habit of playing dead to lure victims into a false sense of security, so shooting their bodies to make sure they are dead is understandable.
10* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: While many people think the film is RemadeAndImproved, others dislike how it cuts out the scenes showing bureaucracy making things worse and {{Reasonable Authority Figure}}s trying to contain the outbreak without unnecessary violence.
11* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: While plenty of fans view Becca as TheCutie, even they admit that she is a fairly disposable TagAlongKid who barely affects the plot. This galls a lot of people, who think she could have been a better-developed ActionSurvivor, especially given how her actress, Creator/DaniellePanabaker, had just earned acclaim for such a role in ''Film/FridayThe13th2009''.
