The Crazies is a 2010 remake of the George A. Romero film made in 1973. The plot of the remake once again, revolves around a small town that is accidentally infected with a biological weapon with the code-name "Trixie", which either kills it's victims or turns them into rage-induced infected individuals (similar to the Rage-infected victims from the film 28 Days Later), and the efforts of both the surviving townsfolk attempting to survive and stay alive, and the efforts of the United States military to isolate the threat and eliminate it. However, in this film, the location of the small town has been changed from Evans City, Pennsylvania, to the fictional town of Ogden Marsh, Iowa, and the general focus of the plot revolving more around the surviving townsfolk and not so much on the military's quarantine efforts. Nevertheless, the film received much positive reception and was a better financial success compared to it's predecessor.

Rossi Overland Double Barrel Shotgun
In the beginning of the film, Rory Hamill (Mike Hickman) walks onto the baseball field with a full length Rossi Overland double barrel shotgun.

When the three hunters discover the dead plane pilot in the swamp one of them carries an Ithaca 37.
Deputy Russell Clank (Joe Anderson) wields a pistol gripped Ithaca 37 shotgun with extended magazine tube.
Colt M4A1 carbine
