Rui F @RuiOfTheDead May 13 THE CRAZIES (1973) is at its best when criticizing the inefficiency of the American government in times of crisis with bitter irony. The same can’t be said when it shifts its focus to the civilians, with the disorienting pace of those scenes and the messy sound design being stylistic choices that prevent you from immersing yourself or giving a damn about these characters.

It split it's runtime between army HQ and the protagonists, which somewhat killed the tension. Also the movie didn't utilise it's concept in a clever way. For a movie called The Crazies I would have expected to see more... we'll... crazy.

See more Daniel C. M @RT91944882 12/29/2024 Probably Romero's most overlooked, yet, bleakest, disturbing, and misanthropic movie. While proper action from the titular "Crazies" is certainly lacking and to be desired; it's social commentary and political thriller aspects not only add up to a perfect story and script; but the raw-looking cinematography; fast-paced dynamic direction; awesome effects and production design with the special highlight of course going to the soldier's iconic white hazmat suits (which add up to this movie in more ways than one); realistic and three-dimensional characters, which makes you feel sympathetic even for the army men, something very rare that makes so you dont really root for their deaths, which was exactly what Romero tried and managed to achieve, yet, you also relate with and feel bad for the main charactera; all of this coupled up with realistic and bleak, yet exciting and beautifully shot action scenes makes "The Crazies" a near-perfect movie.
