not by any means a bad movie. definitely bleak no happy ending here.
I'm giving this movie three skulls because I didn't enjoy it. Not saying it was a bad film, but far, far too disturbing to enjoy. As far as I'm concerned, this is not a horror movie. It's speculative fiction. "Threads" took away my appetite for three days after watching it because it made me feel so bad.
Truely haunting... a horror movie in the most relatable sense.
I've loved this film since I was a kid, but then and now, I still think its too f'n long. It could be cut by a half hour and it would be brilliant.
Ooouph… Really good ! So scary, in an unusual way…
