The Crazies
Ogden Marsh, Iowa, is small town USA, America’s agricultural heartland, home of the Tigers... and the Crazies. It’s "Night of the Living Dead" meets "Outbreak" meets "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (the first one, not the remake). George Romero is the producer in this remake of his 1973 film about a town gone loco. This is a hang-on-to-the-edge-of-your-seat thriller where the tension is always running on high. Some times you see it coming and some times you don’t. It is a simple little film, but very effective. Something has happened to the town folk and no one knows what or else they are just not telling. Trust no one. It is a fun romp for those who like to be scared. Try and stay for the last news clip in the middle of the credits.
Alien gives it 3 "fool’s errand" stars out of 4.
