Paranoia and Madness
In Evans City, a plane crashes on the hill releasing for six days in the water the bacteriological weapon Trixie that affects only human beings. The army under the command of Colonel Peckemseals (Lloyd Hollar) seals off the town to contain the virus and there is no antidote for the victims that are doomed to die or become incurably mad. The pregnant nurse Judy (Lane Carroll), her husband David (W.G. McMillan), their friend Clank (Harold Wayne Jones), their new acquaintance Artie (Richard Liberty) and his daughter Kathy (Lynn Lowry) tries to cross the border of the town, but the escapees are hunted by the army. Meanwhile, the scientist Dr. Ralston Watts (Richard France) researches blood samples trying to find the cure for the disease.“The Crazies” is a tale of paranoia and madness in a period when the world was afraid of a bacteriological war. The plot is based on a total stupidity from the authorities that send the army to contain the virus in a small town but does not provide any explanation to the population, invading real estates and breaking in homes. The lead scientist is another stupid character. Surprisingly this year it was released a remake of this average film. Last time I saw this film was on 04 July 2000. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): “O Exército do Extermínio” (“The Extermination Army”)
Substandard
Late at night a man goes crazy and kills his wife before setting his home on fire with both of his children still in the house. As the firetrucks race to the scene army troops are spotted entering the town. Soon the western Pennsylvanian town of Evans City is under quarantine as a highly contagious virus begins to cause the residents to exhibit strange and violent behavior. Meanwhile, the army is faced with chaos and confusion as they try to keep the virus from spreading outside of their control. Now, although I liked the premise of the movie, I must admit that I found most of it to be rather boring. The acting wasn’t very good and the scenes didn’t flow smoothly from one to the next. In essence, the fact that this was a low-budget production really resonates throughout. And while I typically like movies directed by George A. Romero, I have to say in all honesty that this was not one of his better works. Substandard in just about every way.
