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.

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
Superb! Romero is always amazing!
Huge fan of Romero himself, the story building was solid overall with the main cast being somewhat interesting. Worth a watch
Great film, alright acting, but amazing writing. Must watch for any fan of George A Romero or disaster films in general
