Mostly an exercise in frustration. Full Review |

A lean, mean, and extremely focused French horror film. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
Definitely one of the best horror films I've seen in a while, and plays to the key of terror and our imagination provoking enough imagery without the director having to do much of anything... Full Review |

You can always expect a little embellishment for any horror film or thriller that claims to be based on a true story or actual events. This one, however, doesn't sell it. Full Review |

First-time directors David Moreau and Xavier Palud have crafted a highly effective horror film that combines a plausible narrative with accomplished use of sound and image. Full Review |
||
|
|
The final 20 minutes contain some of the best, uncontrived twists of any post-Sixth Sense American suspense film, but there is a good reason for that, as the co-directors reveal with a shocking epilogue. Full Review |

This freshman effort from the French team of David Moreau and Xavier Palud would rate an A in film school. But that doesn't mean it's worth seeing. Full Review |

|
2.5/4 |
The essentially nonexistent characterizations do little to help matters. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
Moreau and Palud play on the way our minds fill in the gaps of the unknown and the very primal fear of things going bump in the night. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
A nerve-wracking finale, a 30-minute chase through the house's catacombs, followed by a closing image that will chill you to the bone. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
Those who don't need all that graphic content to be jolted and unnerved may find a few things to like here. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
It's refreshing to see the French finally producing a worthy entry in the horror genre. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
Those who like their horror served up neat, no chaser, can safely belly up to Them. It is a pared-down French thriller that trades splatter and gore for tense efficiency. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/5 |
There is absolutely no fat on this brief, 74-minute film, but even as you get caught up in the suspense you come to realize that there isn't much meat on it, either. Full Review |
||
|
|
A well made, if extremely hollow, technical exercise... so wafer-thin, I'm a little wary of calling it a movie. It's more like a photographed premise. Full Review |

2/4 |
Them is Haneke on training wheels. Full Review |
