The Crazies
Directed by George Romero
Ordinary citizens turn into homicidal maniacs after a chemical weapon is released in George Romero's 1973 follow-up to NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. After a mercifully brief foray into romantic comedy, Romero returned to the subject that made him famous - multiple maniacs attacking unsuspecting townspeople - and the government's misguided response to the chaos. Like Romero's living dead films, THE CRAZIES offers a commentary on the military turmoil of the '70s, environmental contamination and bio-warfare - making it sadly still relevant - and scary - today.

Romero. s a legend love his movies 🎥
The movie is showing its age but still rocks the viewer. Question of course is who are the Crazies in the title, the townsfolk infected with the virus or the people who would make the virus in the first place. The second and third acts drift a little, and the conclusion is pretty nihilistic, did they contain the virus?
It put me to sleep woke up and saw the dad messing with a girl then went back to sleep. Woke up again and saw that they killed the pregnant chick.
surprisingly mid.
i really think romero should have stopped at night of the living dead because this was so boring and lame i dont even care
