Description

After the experimental outings of There’s Always Vanilla and Season of the Witch, Night of the Living Dead director George A. Romero returned to rather more distinct horror territory with his 1973 infection opus The Crazies.When a plane carrying a secret biological weapon crash-lands in the vicinity of a small, rural town, the area descends into chaos. Infected with a virus that sends them into a homicidal frenzy, the locals turn on each other in an orgy of bloody violence. As the army cordons off the town and government agents clash with scientists over the appropriate course of action, a small band of survivors attempt to make their way to safety.Starring cult icon Lynn Lowry (Shivers, I Drink Your Blood), the influence of Romero’s The Crazies can be felt in everything from the director’s own subsequent work – many commentators have noted the stylistic and thematic similarities to his zombie classic Dawn of the Dead – right up to Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later and beyond.SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS:Brand new 4K restoration from the original camera negative High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation Original Mono Uncompressed PCM Audio English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Brand new audio commentary by Travis Crawford Romero Was Here: Locating The Crazies – Romero historian Lawrence DeVincentz takes us on a guided tour of Evans City, PA and the locations used in The CraziesCrazy for Lynn Lowry – cult star Lynn Lowry discusses her early career including her role in The Crazies Q&A with Lynn Lowry filmed at the 2016 Abertoir Film Festival Audio interview with producer Lee Hessel Behind-the-scenes footage with optional commentary by Lawrence DeVincentz Alternate Opening Titles Image Galleries Trailers & TV Spots Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly-commissioned artwork by Gilles Vranckx

    • Great movie
I watched this years back on tv. But when I found it on disc I had to have it. Good storyline for it and good special effects for it’s time.

    • Romero goes Blue Underground...as a narrative in progress, "The Crazies" is crazy good...
Excellent job of remastering from Lustig's BLUE UNDERGROUND company (one of the few historical film companies that still care about the quality of B-movie presentations on digital format), and the film itself--easily one of Romero's more hectic efforts--comes closer to greatness in its narrative than "Night of the Living Dead" even. I have not watched the remake of this title because I don't care to watch films that I can't follow easily; the original is leisurely paced, gripping, and obviously more focused upon character than upon ridiculous special effects. The transfer onto DVD is immaculate and rewarding viewing, if you enjoy these older exploitation titles. The DVD's best extra is the commentary track by Lustig and Romero, both of whom enjoy themselves quite a bit while watching the film again. Romero offers insights for today's filmmakers (although, like Cohen, he isn't particularly optimistic about the business any longer) as well as pointing out the numerous technical errors that this film contains; he mentions the problems involved with creating special effects, eye-line shots, rapid editing techniques, etc. Overall, this audio commentary is worth a listen and is quite informative too. It is amazing how much of an effective world that Romero was able to build merely through the power of extras and editing techniques. (Although Paul McCollough's script was apparently overhauled and reshaped by Romero into his own personal story, it would be interesting to read the original source work entitled "The Mad People".) Romero knows how to make commercials and documentary films, and his efforts at shaping a unique visual style are on full display here. Overall, a quality DVD release, and certainly an interesting stop along the back-roads of horror fiction on film (although this is an older offering and, unlike these silly remakes, one must pay attention to story and characters in order to become invested in the movie).

    • You Can't go Wrong with Any Romero Film's in HD!!!!!!!
As soon as I Could snag a copy of this BR i was all over it George Romero's The Crazies is by far one of Romero's Most Under-Rated, Rarely Seen Film (Running neck and neck with Martin) You might have seen the Homage to it known as Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later Like all of Romero's Films it has such a Layered Social Commentary on Humanity, Government Cover-ups, and The Break down of Modern Life With a Re-make being Released soon (Another George A. Romero Film being Re-Made Hollywood needs to Stop and come up with New Ideas, Stories, Ect. and Leave Classics ALONE!!!!) The Original will be the Best way to Understand Romero's Vision It has a Super Raw look and feel (Much like the Original TX Chainsaw Massacre) With all the Craziness around the world Involving all types of Flu Strains, and Viruses right now in this day and age Romero's premonition is Shocking to say the least I Highly recommend this BR for All Horror Fans Blue Underground does a FLAWLESS Job at HD Transfers All the Extras from the SD DVD will be brought over with BR Exclusive extras Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Society run amok
Such a human document this film, it breathes and sweats. I suppose it still has taken a back seat to Romero’s zombie classics in the minds of most critics, but it has always been one of my favorites. The Crazies is pure folklore, ripped from the tabloids, but nowadays it seems a little too close to home. Conspiracy springs to life, dancing over the flames of society run amok. The talking heads and the muckety mucks are powerless to stop it. Now the germ, “code name ‘Tricksie’”, takes center stage. Here it is a plane crash carrying the bug instead of a lab leak. This hits most all the apocalyptic buttons, but with a slow drag 70s style delivery, overrun with military goons and civilian rabble. Bureaucratic snafus and clandestine research collide in a train wreck of madness and burning corpses. The brain dead dancing hippy wildness in the school where the army corrals all the diseased is a fitting bookend to the decadence of the 60s. As the insanity piles up into the sky, the scenes vary from amusing asylum antics, to mere street violence and finally utter perversion. I’m not really a fan of Romero’s occasional political spin, but here he mostly plays it deadpan. Either no one is to blame or we all are. Perhaps in the end we will figure out a cure, he seems to suggest as a possibility, but perhaps a long shot judging by the outro. I have seen the remake too which was mildly entertaining but too slick to really say much of anything worth remembering. I watched this original classic as part of my own personal ‘germ warfare’ festival, alongside Warning Sign and Endangered Species (the 80s flick starring Robert Urich not the more recent film), and of the 3 this is easily my top choice. ... show more

    • I live about 15 miles from Evans City
This movie was filmed in Butler County, PA. Being a fan of George Romero ( RIP ) and watching and living NOTLD & DOTD, l had to buy this. I also live not too far from Evans City, so there's that pride thing of having movies filmed in places not even remotely similar to Hollywood, which is a good thing btw! As for the movie, well, the location and actual filming was fine with me, the plot/storyline was just ok. Some will love it and others not so much. I might watch it again just for the fact of where it was filmed, being historical and all. I think any of the Dead movies are way better, but there were some scenes that l did rewind to watch a few times so it's not totally horrible or anything. ... show more

    • King of the apocalypse!
Great Romero Classic. I might actually like the remake a little better, but I truly felt the message was clearer and more powerful in this original. I really love George Romero's work. A lot of films today owe him a huge nod. Love ya George! Please make a couple more films while you're still able to. I promise, no matter what they are, or what they are about, I will support you for life. I hope he does do at least one more zombie movie, or at the very least, an apocalyptic movie! ... show more
