I walked away not really know who “they” were, what “they” looked like. Why “they” were here and what “they” wanted and quite honestly, I didn’t care.

Reviews for They
One suspects that Craven endorses They simply because this movie makes his own look much better by comparison.
11/27/02
It's certainly entertaining enough and made with great style, but the whole thing feels slightly undercooked.
12/06/02
Top CriticCharacters wander into predictably treacherous situations even though they should know better.
12/08/02
One of the best silly horror movies of recent memory, with some real shocks in store for unwary viewers.
10/13/02
Julia is played with exasperating blandness by Laura Regan.

Works well enough as a thriller to guarantee a few full-throated screams from the easily manipulated, but Scream it decidedly is not.

Robert Harmon's less-is-more approach delivers real bump-in -the-night chills -- his greatest triumph is keeping the creepy crawlies hidden in the film's thick shadows.

There’s nothing to gain from watching They. It isn’t scary. It hates its characters. It finds no way to entertain or inspire its viewers.
12/03/02
Why Scream director Wes Craven allowed his name to be attached to this uninspiring lump is a mystery. Whatever he was paid, it wasn't enough.

If anyone out there does see They, please feel free to contact me so that we can file a class-action lawsuit.

Too ordinary to restore [Harmon] to prominence, despite some creepy scenes that evoke childish night terrors, and a praiseworthy attempt to generate suspense rather than gross out the audience.

What happens when something goes bump in the night and nobody cares?

Top CriticA great concept poorly executed.

If a horror movie's primary goal is to frighten and disturb, then They works spectacularly well...A shiver-inducing, nerve-rattling ride.
11/30/02
The movie's gloomy atmosphere is fascinating, though, even if the movie itself doesn't stand a ghost of a chance.
