The Crazies (1973)
9/10
Very underrated n far ahead of its time.

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs. Revisited it recently.

Small town residents go berserk after a viral epidemic engulfs em n military law is enabled to control the town's border, place people in quarantine n shoot the 'crazies'. While scientists work hard to learn the pathogen n search for a cure, two ex army men turned fire fighters along with three other civilians fight their way out to obtain the information n evade the quarantine.

The film moves at a good pace n surprisingly without it containing any zombies, it has sufficient tension n suspense. The chaos n fear shown is pretty relevant in today's covid 19 pandemic.
