Review of The Crazies

The Crazies (1973)
7/10
A little too frantic, but a must for Romero fans.
14 January 2002
One of Romero's least-seen efforts, this film is well-made on a low budget, but the frenzied pacing, the documentary-type directing techniques and the unsympathetic characters leave you with nobody to root for. More cruel than bloody, and especially interesting for those who want to study Romero's career more closely, as it has both the nihilism of "Night of the Living Dead" and the strong anti-military spirit of "Day of the Dead". Worth seeing. (**1/2)
