Review of The Crazies (1973) by Stefán Birgir S — 07 Jun 2010
After Romero directed his legendary film Night Of The Living Dead in 1968, he shifted into different territory and made quite a few flops in the 70's. One of them was an overlooked jewel of Horror film called The Crazies about people being exposed to a bio chemical weapon that makes them crazy.
Some reviews of this classic have suggested that Danny Boyle director of the excellent zombie film 28 Days Later took inspiration from this film. From start to finish this film feels like a military propaganda film designed to scare the viewer, thats how it felt like while I watched it.
I very much enjoyed this film, although some viewers will find it long and boring before the film finishes. It's true that some parts of the film drags on, but when things happen, they sure as hell happen.
This film shouldn't be ignored it should be seen and enjoyed.
