Its code name is 'Trixie,' an experimental government germ weapon that leaves its victims either dead or irreversibly insane. When the virus is accidentally unleashed in Evans City, Pennsylvania, the small community becomes a war zone of panicked military, desperate scientists and gentle neighbors turned homicidal maniacs. Now a small group of citizens has fled to the town's outskirts where they must hide from trigger-happy soldiers while battling their own depraved urges. But even if they can escape the madness of this plague, can they survive the unstoppable violence of the Crazies? (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

Very nicely put together horror with social critique. Chaos and paranoia. Several groups (the wannabe soldiers that live in a small town) fight each other, often without knowing why – actually, few people know the real reason. And on top of that, we have the “heroes”, i.e. the infected townsfolk, we can’t really tell which of their actions are rational, or emotionally impulsive in a normal way, and which are only a manifestation of the madness caused by the disease. It’s a smarter film than it would appear at first sight. It’s actually surprising how many of those interesting plot lines were missing in the remake.

The Crazies brilliantly references how, in a critical moment, people intervene who may not even have the appropriate competencies, people who may not even want to protect but simply go and do as they're told. They become sheep, human sheep, who are not able to discern right from wrong; they just go and don't look to the right or left. They don’t think. George A. Romero was simply brilliant in this critique.
