Jamie D Instead of manufacturing horror, this movie stays grounded in absolute reality. Which makes it infinitely more horrific than any manufactured horror ever could be. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Audience Member Threads is a strategic approach to informing the everyday audience about the devastation possible through particular steps. The movies pacing allows people to not only visualize the horrors, but consider how possible the events are. It’s an amazing combination of drama, but a very possible reality. Threads is more relevant in the world today even when compared to when it was first released. Tiny steps lining together through the years, until everything eventually melds together- creating a horrific nuclear fallout.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Sabrina F Threads is part narrative film, following several characters, and part documentary-style commentary on what could happen to England in the event of a nuclear exchange. This is a bleak, take-no-prisoners film. The commentary is deliberately heavy-handed, which a cynical person might find a bit unintentionally cheesy. Many viewers will find this movie too dark to be entertaining, which is understandable, but Threads' aim is to educate, not entertain. My problem with the way the film is told is that I never got to connect with any of the characters, since the film does not follow a conventional narrative approach. I felt for the characters, as I would for anyone under those circumstances, but other than Ruth, a little, I did not really root for anyone. Threads does do a good job of keeping things real though, and I appreciate that. We see families and colleagues initially doing what they can to stay sane and help one another. But eventually desperation, sickness, and frustration take their toll, and cooperation begins to break down, until it truly is every man for himself. Overall, Threads is a good one-time-watch. I would have preferred if the film focused on police officers or military personnel trying to keep the peace and some semblance of order in a chaotic world, but I know the filmmakers chose to focus on families and young people because that is who would be watching the movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Neil Brilliant film, although 40 years old it has to be the best post apocalyptic film by miles. The lucky ones died instantly!
