While not nearly as good as Romero's "Dead" films, The Crazies is still worth checking out. It's basically the same shoot 'em up style, only instead of zombies it's crazy townspeople infected by tainted water.
The story takes place from two sides: a group of five characters attempting to flee the town and the army officers sent to quarantine the town. Neither side is portrayed as the bad guy, although characters on each side exhibit negative qualities.
My only complaint is that there isn't any depth to any of the characters, but the movie still works even without this element.
Definitely not the best Romero film, but solid nonetheless.
