THE CRAZIES    

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”.
