VHS Movie Reviews of Threads
Movie Review: Most Frightening Movie Ever Made
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best movies that was ever made, and should be broadcast all over the world to enlighten our thinking about nuclear war.
This is the most graphic film that you can imagine. The soft parts are when people are vaporized by nuclear explosions. The more brutal scenes show people with horrible radiation burns, starvation, summary executions, rape, and mutated children.
The movie has to be as close to WWIII as theatre can ever get. The special effects and makeup artistry were brilliant. The story line is second to none. It follows a young woman from a romantic interlude with her fiance all the way through a decade of hellish life in post-nuclear winter Britain. The movie literally goes from modern day technology at the beginning to pitchforks and threadbear knitting at the end.
The most ironic part of the movie is the contrast between the beginning and lead up to the WWIII attacks with news reports and narration, to the medevial life that was left for the miserable survivors.
Warning for Kids - watching this movie may give you permanent nightmares.
Movie Review: Very Grim
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this film for the first time recently and I think it is definitely more potently graphic than its American counterpart "The Day After". It is also much more pessimistic. In the American film, people were helping each other after the nuclear holocaust, but in this film, everyone is out for himself only. There is no compassion, empathy, caring or sharing - the U.K. turns immediately into a cruel, medieval, dog-eat-dog society. It is often difficult to find good things to say about humanity, but I don't believe all people will lose their hearts & souls over a nuclear war. There will always be some good people in this world- no matter what sort of calamity happens.
This film features a nuclear exchange between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R after the latter moves into Iran. It was really sort of chilling to see Iran involved in this considering what is going on in Iran in 2006. Let's hope the makers of the film were not prescient on this matter!
Movie Review: I second the DVD emotion
Summary: 5 Stars
It's been 20 years since I've seen this and certain images from it still haunt me today. The rape, the still birth and the sight of those blank-eyed children watching that worn out children's show on that TV will never leave me. This, along with "Concealed Enemies" are two television productions from that era that deserve to be made available to a new generation.Movie Review: Stuuning movie that ought to be required watching worldwide.
Summary: 5 Stars
The good news is that Amazon uk has a newly released dvd of Threads for a much smaller price tag than you see here.
EVERYONE needs to see this one at least once a year.
Movie Review: A Must See
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie came out when I worked for Civil Defense. I remember getting a lot of phone calls over this movie as well as for the movie "The Day After". Yes, "Threads" is much more graphic...but so again is the actual effects of a nuclear disaster or war. This is a must see movie for people who liked watching "The Day After". Please release this movie on DVD! VHS is good, but tapes get fouled and wrecked and torn.
