About the Screening:
In recognition of George A. Romero’s tragic passing, Fantasia will be presenting a free tribute screening of his under-seen 1973 masterpiece THE CRAZIES, showing in a new 4K restoration courtesy of Arrow Films. Imbued with an urgency that remains topical to this day, THE CRAZIES is a work that showcases all the qualities that made Romero such a vital filmmaker – confrontational social commentary, character-driven tension, dark humor, visceral cinematography and editing, and raw, humanist horror contrasted against moments of boundary-pushing shock.
This will be the first public showing of Arrow’s recently completed restoration, slated to be released later this year as part of a home video box set titled “George Romero Between Night and Dawn,” also featuring new restorations of SEASON OF THE WITCH and THERE’S ALWAYS VANILLA.
