“The Day After” is often cited as the US Version to this film; but they are not the same. “Threads” is by far an order of magnitude closer to the reality and does not spare the viewer a single moment to hide behind a tender or convenient lapse in the truth; it is unending and right until the last it will not spare you. Expect to be shaken, and possible depressed for a time following either in hours, days or weeks. This is the most terrifying movie ever made. The movie you will never forget, the last s end you may wish you had never seen it; I’m not sure you will ever shake it.

I have enjoyed this film more than once. Two fantastic performances.

You probably think you are special; that these sea of bad reviews are written by sadistic thrill zombie seekers looking for much of the same. Well, you are wrong. There is nothing deep in this film other than the delusion you will find yourself in wanting to find anything redeemable within this 2 hours of...nothingness. You will look for it, but it isn't there. The writers went off the plantation and I think they were infected with the virus of poor imagination, poor delivery and delusion themselves. 5 Star reviews are written by paid people or bots, and hundreds of thousands of people have been conned. If you are reading this, give your money to someone homeless instead, it will be infinitely more satisfying, or use it as toilet paper which is about where this film should end up.

What an interesting concept to dive down into. Thought provoking long after the curtain has fallen

There are messages within this film, some obvious, some buried deep. If a film has a purpose of making you ponder thereafter then this film is everything a film can be.

To see so many give this a five star review urks me. How low the bar has become for content that anyone could give this 5 stars I find utterly remarkable. This was poorly done are while we can find merits within; to call this anything other than an average effort is a real stretch.

Outstanding. The grandfather of all submarine films.

Kathy Bates is a force of nature. I can’t believe I had never watched this film until just now. There is a good reason it has nearly all 5 star reviews and I don’t think my opinion will make you watch it other than to say this is not a film you will ever forget or struggle to remember the plot; or its greatest scenes. Film making of the highest order.

Well ahead of its time and the themes within the film spawned several memorable horror films in the following decades. Quite remarkable.

I take this interpretation of Nosferatu and the Vampire genre to be one of the best told; but I am not sure the robust storyline was delivered with the effect it could have had. The cinematography can not be flawed, it is certainly the highlight of the film and delivered with a majestic touch. I didn't feel like I was invested in any particular character and their characters were somewhat, unknowable so it is hard to feel for characters you don't feel a connection with. If I had been given the storyline and the film footage, I might have dropped the opening few minutes into the film about a third into the film as an explanation of Nosferatu's existence. I also might have had a few other things done differently. It is an old fable of horror genre that the victims all must have transgressed somewhat to deserve the punishment of the horror that unfolds, and I did not see anything that opens the door to this for the main characters. The film is a win, but I do not see a home run here.
