THE CRAZIES

After the experimental outings of THERE'S ALWAYS VANILLA and SEASON OF THE WITCH, George A. Romero returned to full-on horror with THE CRAZIES—a spiritual successor to Romero's classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. When a plane carrying a secret biological weapon crashes 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. Starring cult icon Lynn Lowry (SHIVERS, I DRINK YOUR BLOOD), THE CRAZIES is a stylistic and thematic precursor to everything from Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD to Danny Boyle's 28 DAYS LATER.
