Five years after George A. Romero redefined the horror genre with Night of the Living Dead. The “father of the zombie film” returned with a visceral ‘70s cult horror that follows residents of a small town exposed to an experimental government virus that drives its victims insane. In order to survive they must band together to fend off both the homicidal horde and trigger happy soldiers. THE CRAZIES is a heart pounding, stylistic, and incredibly relevant entry in the horror genre, influencing both Romero’s Dawn of the Dead and Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later. Rated R.
