Review of Threads (1984) by Hellholehorror — 09 Mar 2022

Powerful, moving and tragic. This is very difficult to watch. There is this sense of doom as world events clash. This film not only shows the human cost of catastrophic nuclear attacks but also touches on rebuilding afterwards.

This goes into far more detail than any similar film. There is a greater fear coming about from this kind of film than any conventional horror film. It didn't make you jump but it made you sit up and take notice.

This is a very effective chiller. Probably the scariest of its type that I have seen. I didn't get how the title fitted in until the end. The factual commentary is important although still slightly annoying.

I didn't sleep very well after viewing.
