You like that description? Well, if you do, then get ready for an upcoming Universal’s adaptation that already has McG and Breck Eisner in consideration for director’s seat.
And, just in case you have no idea what we’re talking about, here’s a little description:
“A Ouija board, also known as a spirit board or talking board, is a flat board marked with letters, numbers, and other symbols, supposedly used to communicate with spirits.

The Crazies Review
The Crazies is a remake of George Romero’s 1973 cult classic about a small town infected by a mysterious virus that turns people into crazed killers with splotchy faces. It’s that rare case of the remake being better than the original.
Director Breck Eisner, working from a script by Scott Kosar and Ray Wright, delivers a brisk, tense horror film that enhances Romero’s work with state-of-the-art makeup, evocative cinematography of the barren Iowa landscape and crisp lead performances by Timothy Olyphant as the local sheriff and Radha Mitchell as his pregnant wife/town doctor.
