Dir. George
Romero | USA | 95 min
An early Romero horror/end of the world classic that deals with
the topic of weapons of mass destruction and the accidental use of
toxic nerve agent ‘Trixie’ on the population of a small
Pennsylvania town of Evans City (Robert Evans perhaps?). A fore runner
to the brilliant “Dawn of the Dead” the film provides
a brilliant portrait of Marshall law and the cold tactics of the
military in controlling the epidemic they have created. Filled with
lashings of misanthropy and violence, few films sum up the essence
of the apocalypse with such raw energy and documentary realism as
Romero’s “The Crazies”.
