Reviews for Them
This superb horror thriller breaks violently into your consciousness, robbing you of all sense of security.

It breezes by and slaps you with some ice water and then scurries right out of the room.
03/20/07
A perfectly-fine stripped-down little horror movie and if you're not a hardcore horror fan you'll probably find some of it surprising.
01/29/07
Effective in an unambitious way, it gives a new meaning to 'Boys in the Hood'.
01/28/07
The nature of the couple’s tormentors makes the action scarier than it would have been with, say, a supernatural monster, but it also represents a cheap and nasty move by Moreau and Palud.
01/28/07
So skilfully does the film shield its hand that the final "reveal" actually comes as a disappointment - the enigma was truly much harder to bear.
01/26/07
Plenty of jolts and some pleasingly spooky scenes, with the tension ratcheted up to fever pitch, but then it all falls to pieces with a badly fumbled ending.
01/26/07
Claustrophobic and exhausting, Them fumbles its payoff but reminds us why French chillers are a rare but thrilling treat.
01/26/07
Suspenseful, eventually, but the first half's a snooze.
01/26/07
Just one long unendurably tense and frightening sequence, beginning with the terrified couple waking in the middle of the night and having to creep downstairs, extended like a violin string about to snap.
01/26/07
77 minutes of gloriously sustained tension.
01/26/07
A 20-minute calling card short extended to a tolerance-stretching 74 minutes, this is an effectively directed but ultimately pointless wind-up exercise.
