Legendary filmmaker George Romero brings us another film called The Crazies or other known as Trixe.
In a near by town in Pennsylvania called Evans City goes into a full lock down where the soldiers are in protective suits, gas masks and putting up
barricades stopping people going in and out of the town. This scares a lot of the people within the town cause the military haven't yet told them
whats exactly going on. They start rounding up the citizens of Evans City and take them to the local high school where they're tested for any signs
of the infection and held for the time being until the crisis is neutral. The military realizes that there experimental germ weapon code name Trixe
was unleashed in the towns water supply where people either will drop dead or irreversibly insane causing them to become maniacs killers. Before
you know it the town becomes a war zone , already a father brutally murders his wife & tries to burn down the house with the kids still inside. The
police & fire department rush to the house to put out the fire but there too late. The father gets out unfortunately with several burns but is
handcuff & throw in the back of the police vehicle , while he sits there laughing & screaming "Let it burn". Back at the town the soldiers are setting
up camp & have taken over the hospital & injecting the soldiers with a vaccine that could stop the infection from spreading, a pregnant nurse
named Judy (Lane Carroll) is wondering whats going on pulls the doctor aside & whispers to him to let her know whats happening to the town for
the sake of her & the unborn child. The doctor tells her to quickly leave the hospital & get in the car & get out of town before cause the water is
contaminated with a deadly virus that sends people insane & they go into a killing spree & then hands her a few needles & a few bottle of the
vaccine for her , and the baby & husband. Quickly & sly she sneaks off and heads off to find her husband who is a fire fighter called Dave (W.G.
McMillan) who is his fire fighter buddy, Clank (Harold Jones) at the house that was burning down. She tells them whats going on so they all decide
to head to a cabin in the woods to escape from the chaos in the town & the maniacs who are infected by this virus. But unaware that the people
who they meet along the way are infected by the virus.
This movie was one of Georges films that didn't make much of a impact at all, not like Night of the Living Dead film. But George does say that if it
wasn't for The Crazies & Night of the Living Dead he wouldn't of come up with the cult classic Dawn of the Dead which both films are about
people caught up in the apocalypse crisis. But next year we will hopefully get to see the remake of The Crazies (2008). I still believe that The
Crazies would of made a good start to George Romero's zombie films Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead and Land of
the Dead. Still this very day we don't know EXACTLY what started the zombies to feed on human flesh. Its just a shame he didn't think of doing it
like that in the first place, then i reckon The Crazies would of been a big hit at the theaters. But don't get me wrong the movie is a awesome flick ,
i just expected a little more out of it.
