Movie review - "The Crazies" (1973) ***1/2

 Romero's zombie film without zombies - it's a transmittable virus that makes people crazy and sends the world into meltdown. This is fast paced, cynical, chaotic, with some characters we care about - the bombastic doctor, the decent officer, the pregnant nurse and her boyfriend, and his mate who has bad PTSD. Downbeat ending. Very Vietnam era.

Can't believe this flopped. Maybe having no zombies was too much.
