Crazies, The (1973)

The Crazies (1973)
Dir: George A. Romero

The military attempts to contain a virus that causes permanent insanity in those infected.
Low budget 70s horror film that is not too dissimilar to the director's other more famous films. The acting and dialogue are poor and the film seems to really struggle with its budget constraints. It fails to be scary, despite some good atmospheric scenes, and it just isn't that interesting.
