The Crazies (1973)
Horror/Thriller Rated R
Plot
A biological weapon gone awry is only the start of problems in the little town of Evan's City, Pennsylvania. Bouts of insanity in the populace are leading to murder and rioting, until the US Army turns up - and things really start going to hell.
Acting
As was and somewhat still is the norm with Romero movies, the cast is mostly decently talented, completely unknown actors, who went on to have little to no careers afterwords.
Gore
Lots of gunshots, that are often unrealistically bloody. A brief stabbing, and body's both dead and living are burned.
Sex/Nudity
A women briefly shows breast and butt while getting out of bed.
Final Thoughts
While regarding as a cult classic I have to disagree a bit. I thought it often dragged and really doesn't hold up very well over time. If there was ever a movie that needed to be remade, this may be it. A decent enough movie, but certainly a disappointment, and some of Romero's weakest work.
