Movie Reviews of The Crazies
Movie Review: Good Romero fare
Summary: 4 Stars
THE CRAZIES was filmed during the time between Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and DAWN OF THE DEAD. This film certainly has more in common with DAWN in terms of pacing and editing.THE CRAZIES benefits from a lightning-fast pace and over-the-top editing which keeps you glued to the screen. The story is essentially your "small town is exposed to a lethal virus and quarantined" plot. We follow 5 people as they try to dodge the military and escape the town, but marshal law is declared and the military begin slaughtering the civilians, infected or not.
This film has so much in common with DAWN OF THE DEAD in terms of overall feel and production, that if you love DOTD, as most horror fans do, you really can't go wrong with THE CRAZIES.
Movie Review: Don't Drink The Water!
Summary: 4 Stars
OK, the government strikes again. This time, a military plane full of a biological agent code named "Trixie" crashes in a small Pennsylvania town. The movie starts right out with a dad gone berserk, torching his own home, killing his family for no apparent reason. It seems that Trixie effects the mind, turning it's unsuspecting victims into homicidal maniacs! This is perfect George Romero territory! Soon, the army moves in, herding the healthy townfolk into the highschool gymnasium, while gunning down the infected hordes. This movie would make an excellent double feature with "Night Of The Living Dead". Though some of the scenes are rather goofy by todays standards, THE CRAZIES is still good enough for a few scares. Check it out...Movie Review: THE CRAZIES could very well take place today!
Summary: 4 Stars
If ever there was a time to watch this film, now would be it. The Crazies is George Romero's follow up to the cult classic Night of the Living Dead. When bio-terror hits the sleepy town of Evans City, PA...all hell breaks loose! People begin losing their minds, and a group of rag-tag locals have to fight for their survival against the deadly virus and the military. The dvd doesn't have much to offer, but the trasfer is SUPERB. In a roundabout way the recent film 28 Days Later pays tribute to this psychological masterpiece.Movie Review: Spectacular and Original
Summary: 4 Stars
The Crazies is a little gem of a movie that somehow slipped out of the public image. Why...I have no idea! This is among the most disturbing and original horror film. There's plenty of plot discription here. You should know there isn't a whole lot of action in this movie. Its slow paced but intense. Very intense dialouge, edits, and of course there are moment of immense tension (if you allow yourself to focus). It's really just a fantastic little movie.Movie Review: Excellent, underrated horror film.
Summary: 4 Stars
Considerably smarter than many of the horror movies of the time, "The Crazies" ranks with "Night of the Living Dead" as Romero's bleakest film. This is an occasionally funny movie -- though only rarely -- but the conclusion is apocalyptic. The whole she-bang has shades of "Strangelove" written all over it. This movie will probably make you sigh in sadness before it will make you scared, but it will most assuredly make you think.
