Review of The Crazies (1973) by Matt C — 11 Jun 2011
Having enjoyed the recent remake I thought I'd give this Romero original a go...but blimey, I really shouldn't have bothered. This is a real B-Movie but unfortunately doesn't even have any charm.
We have terrible performances (you'd think in some scenes the actors were starring in different movies), really awful production ideas (in case you don't recognise the soldiers on screen we'll have an incessant military drum soundtrack) and a plot that basically consists of army men shouting and each other and a lot of running around in the woods.
Chuck in an exploitative and pointless incest scene and A LOT MORE SHOUTING and voila! Avoid.
