Along the way, the girl is trapped is a deadly game of cat and mouse. "Welcome to the world of wealth and privilege...where everyone lives life in the fast lane! " was the original tagline when it played in 1973 to an X rating. An early effort of Lloyd Kaufman (Troma) and Associate Producer Oliver Stone.

The Crazies (1973)
Directed by
George A. Romero
Starring Lynn Lowry
Thirty years before the United States declared a "war on terrorism," Romero tackled this topic with his own brand of social commentary. A biological weapon gone awry is only the start of problems in the little town of Evan's City, Pennsylvania. Bouts of insanity in the populace are leading to murder and rioting, until the US Army turns up-- and things really start going to hell. Currently, The Crazies is being remade with director Brad Anderson at the helm, based on Romero's original screenplay. See the original with the star and George Romero himself!
George A. Romero bio:
In the late sixties, George A. Romero produced what became one of the most celebrated American horror films of all time: Night of the Living Dead (1968). Romero's next films included There's Always Vanilla (1971), The Crazies (1973), Hungry Wives (1972) and Martin (1977). In 1978, Romero returned to the zombie genre with the one film of his that would top the success of Night of the Living Dead: Dawn of the Dead (1978). That movie's success led to bigger budgets and better casts for the filmmaker. First was Knightriders (1981), where he first worked with an up-and-coming Ed Harris. Then came perhaps his most Hollywood-like film, Creepshow (1982), which marked the first--but not the last--time Romero adapted a work by famed horror novelist Stephen King. With many major stars and big-studio distribution, Creepshow (1982) was a moderate success and spawned a sequel, which was also written by Romero. In the late 1980s, the next "Dead" film, was Day of the Dead (1985). In the nineties, he co-directed Two Evil Eyes (1990) with Dario Argento and directed The Dark Half (1993)--another King adaptation. In 2005, 19 years after Day of the Dead, with major-studio distribution, he returned to his most famous series and horror sub-genre he created with Land of the Dead (2005), a further exploration of the destruction of modern society by the undead, that received both excellent and indifferent reviews, and even topped the United States box-office in its first week of release.
Lynn Lowry bio:
Ms. Lowry has played a variety of characters. Her first movie role was a small part in The Battle of Love's Return (1971) which starred and directed by Lloyd Kaufman, who later founded the Troma independent film company. Her next role was another small, uncredited part in I Drink Your Blood (1970). core (1972), directed by Radley Metzger, came next which was a X-rated, soft-core, semi-documentary flick which brought on more sex appeal for Lowry's character. Her next movie, playing a dual role in Sugar Cookies (1973), which required her to act in the nude for the first time, got her sex appeal. Her next role was one of her best in playing Kathy, a neurotic character in George A. Romero's The Crazies (1973), an action-horror flick filmed in rural Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. She then was cast for a recurring part in the TV series "How to Survive a Marriage" (1974). She was also cast for a part in David Cronnenburg's horror flick Shivers (1975) and Cat People (1982). Most recently, she has been performing on stage as a singer in singing old folk songs and show tunes with her own band.
