The Crazies1973
“Why are the good people dying?”
Directed by George A. Romero
The premise
The military attempts to contain a manmade virus causing death and permanent insanity in those infected, as it overtakes a small Pennsylvania town.
Horror Vault's take
When a mysterious pathogen descends on a quiet Pennsylvania town, the line between the infected and the merely terrified begins to blur. The military moves in hard and fast, but their heavy-handed containment effort may be as dangerous as the virus itself. George Romero's gritty, low-budget thriller pits ordinary people against both a deadly plague and the institutions meant to protect them, with no clean heroes in sight.
Content: Violence, Murder, Depictions Of Mental Breakdown, Disturbing Themes Around Disease And Loss Of Sanity
