Hello and welcome to another Double Feature Sunday. Why not acknowledge that that's a thing here.

The Crazies (1973)

Oh no the army quarantined this town because whoopsies there's an experimental bioweapon. Also they have a vaccine but not enough for the whole town so it's a whole thing.

Also they're just entering people's homes in their hazmat suits and rifles and rounding people up. And then they're like "we're being met with resistance :/"

THE CRAZIES (1973)

The Crazies (1973): A 70s Sci-Fi Gem with a Few Flaws

Title: The Crazies

Genre: Sci-Fi, Horror

Year: 1973

Country: USA

A Town Gone Mad: In a small Pennsylvanian town, a mysterious virus leaks from a military base, turning the residents increasingly erratic and violent. The government, in a show of decisive (but ultimately misguided) action, quarantines the town and sends in the military to contain the outbreak. What follows is a tense struggle for survival as the lines between sanity and madness blur.

McMillan Saves the Day (Mostly): While the supporting cast delivers average performances, lead actor Will McMillan, shines as a man caught in the middle of this escalating crisis. McMillan perfectly captures his conflicted emotions as he tries to protect his town from both the infected populace and the increasingly heavy-handed military presence. The film lacks a distinct antagonist, with the true threat coming from the unseen virus and the subsequent breakdown of order.

A Blast from the Past: The camerawork in "The Crazies" is undeniably dated, reflecting the stylistic choices of the 70s. While it may lack the polish of modern films, this aesthetic adds a certain charm to the movie, transporting viewers back to a different era of filmmaking. However, the sound design is a different story. Muffled dialogue and an uninspired score often clash with the film's tense atmosphere.

A Mixed Bag: Personally, I found the story of "The Crazies" captivating, with the exploration of human behavior under extreme circumstances holding my attention. Pleasence's performance further elevates the film. Unfortunately, the uneven supporting cast and underwhelming sound design hold the movie back.

Netizens Divided: Reviews for "The Crazies" are mixed, with some praising its unique take on the zombie genre and others criticizing the acting and filmmaking techniques. Despite its flaws, the film has gained a cult following over the years, and its influence can be seen in other sci-fi horror titles.

Box Office Blues: Made on a shoestring budget of $275,000, "The Crazies" only managed to gross a meager $143,784 at the box office. However, its reputation has grown steadily since its release, and it's now considered a hidden gem of 70s sci-fi horror.

Fun Fact: Did you know that "The Crazies" was filmed in just 16 days? This rapid production schedule adds to the film's raw and gritty feel.

Overall: "The Crazies" is a flawed but fascinating film. If you're looking for a polished Hollywood blockbuster, you might want to look elsewhere. However, if you're open to a unique and thought-provoking experience with a dash of 70s charm, then "The Crazies" is worth checking out. Just be prepared to adjust your audio settings.

3 STAR OUT OF 5 STAR

See the thing about zepotha is it doesn’t do a very good job of pretending to be an 80s slasher movie. Everything is way too stylised, it’s all a reflection of nostalgia perception of the 80s, and not of the 80s itself. Comparing and contrasting it to similar phenomena - planet of the bass, as a retro tik tok song parodying a specific time and genre, and goncharov (1973), we can clearly see that zepotha falls down in two aspects: believability, and approach. That is to say, both planet of the bass and goncharov are convincing reflections of real film and music of their time (indeed, the author encourages people to look up Dutch euro dance duo 2 unlimited as a clear planet of the bass comparison), whereas if you showed someone familiar with the 80s zepotha, they wouldn’t immediately guess the themes that are trying to be presented. In terms of approach, goncharov and planet of the bass both have clear vision: goncharov to reflect the fan culture on tumblr, and planet of the bass to create an actual song, whereas zepotha aims to come up with a fake film to promote a real song; a less clearly focused approach. In this essay I will-

everyone is making jokes abt goncharov saying "it's gonchin time" and yeah i get it haha morbius reference but why is no one talking about how morbius basically stole 50% of its screenplay from goncharov and just... fucked it up so bad it was almost unrecognisable

#maybe not many people have noticed since no one actually watched morbius and goncharov was pretty niche until recently but like #it's crazy what sony were able to get away with #like the prison scene was totally a shitty recreation of goncharov and andrey's final confrontation #but they just completely ignore what makes the scene good in the first place #anyway 'it's gonchin time' actually works well in the context and isn't just a cheesy catchphrase like on midbius #goncharov #goncharov 1973 #morbius #morbius 2022 #unreality #how to be cringe 101 #goncharovposting
