THE CRAZIES is a remake of the 1970s George Romero horror film, set in a small town in the grip of a virus which turns people into violent killers. The Sheriff and his wife, a doctor, join forces with other survivors to try and make their escape as the US military seals off the town. The film was classified '15' for strong bloody violence and language.
The strong violence occurs in a number of scenes where the survivors have to fight the infected 'Crazies'. There is lots of blood and some gore and sight of deformed and decomposing corpses. However, in keeping with the '15' Guidelines, the violence does not 'dwell on the infliction of pain or injury'. Instead, the violence occurs in fast-paced action sequences and does not have a sadistic or sexualised element to it.
THE CRAZIES also contains strong language, with frequent uses of 'fuck' going beyond the 'infrequent' level permitted by the '12A'/'12' Guidelines.
