After the experimental outings of There’s Always Vanilla and Season of the Witch, Night of the Living Dead director George A. Romero returned to rather more distinct horror territory with his 1973 infection opus The Crazies.
When a plane carrying a secret biological weapon crash-lands in the vicinity of a small, rural town, the area descends into chaos. Infected with a virus that sends them into a homicidal frenzy, the locals turn on each other in an orgy of bloody violence. As the army cordons off the town and government agents clash with scientists over the appropriate course of action, a small band of survivors attempt to make their way to safety.
Starring cult icon Lynn Lowry (Shivers, I Drink Your Blood), the influence of Romero’s The Crazies can be felt in everything from the director’s own subsequent work – many commentators have noted the stylistic and thematic similarities to his zombie classic Dawn of the Dead – right up to Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later and beyond.

Excellent thriller
If you like Romero's work, you'll like this one as well. It's obviously not as good as his zombie films, but the film still should be discussed when talking about his works. It handles some of the same themes as his other work, and is terrifying in a real way as there are no fantastical elements in it.

Fear is here
The Crazies is truly horrifying movie. It doesn't explain much and just shows horrors. It is a very relatable, more than it was on its release day. This might be Romero's most terrifying feature film.
