Oh boy, have I found the most 2020 movie ever. The Crazies is about a pandemic unleashed by the government that turns people rabid. It's mad cow disease, but for people. The infamous government hazmat suits are pretty creepy and signify the unique world that George A. Romero creates. But let's not kid ourselves, this is a really kitschy, grungy movie. The war room scenes are practically filmed inside of Romero's basement. We're talking high school student film level filmmaking. That kind of gives it its charm and strangely enough, it makes the absurd situation seem more real. It's story and scope should be big budgeted, yet it done entirety on the cheap. It's a formula that worked in Night of the Living Dead and it works here.
