ShangLuda
Admirable film.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This French film is an effective horror film, that will keep your heart beating intense, and your attention the time it lasts. As a horror fan I found it well done and thoroughly made. I especially enjoyed the very, very scary opening scenes.The film is a perfect example of a horror movie made of simple, effective effects. It also has very good sound effects. No big spender budget here, but that does not matter when it's done like this.The actors makes a convincing job as a very tormented couple. I only wonder why especially the wife manages to keep the appearance up so well as she does, and not flip out completely.Recommended if you like scary Movies.

While "Them" wasn't poorly made, I just couldn't get into it.The acting is decent and the story is your typical home-invasion affair that is pretty common in the genre of horror (and, of course, it's claim to be based on a true story) but the problem came from the fact the characters aren't really developed enough that I found myself capable of caring for them and the story is just too familiar. Additionally, the film bravely decides to opt-out of using music to cue the shocking scenes and the moments meant to scare but the editing in the film proved to be the undoing with this move because, too often, scenes went on too long and they seemed to be giving the audience time to prepare and be caught totally ON-guard for what was to come next.The film also tries to put a fresh coat of paint by twisting up the usual home-invader and the motive behind said invasion but, after watching a story that basically boils down to watching a person run, hide, look for the chaser, run again and repeat, I found myself completely unable to even be a little bit impressed or even surprised by the reveal—not to mention that how the filmmakers decide to tell you the motive behind it all was just lazy and felt like a last minute addition."Them" wasn't put together poorly and it really had some potential but these films just don't spook or scare me. So any scene that was meant to be tension-filled and suspenseful came off slow-going and boring.

(Credit to IMDb) Lucas and Clementine live peacefully in their isolated country house, but one night they wake up to strange noise... they're not alone... and a group of hooded assailants begin to terrorize them throughout the night.This movie has plenty of creepy moments, I won't deny that. It's extremely well-acted, suspenseful, well-direction, and filled with tension. Despite all that it has going for it, I felt something was missing. Maybe it was all the hype it got from horror fans and I expected much more. Either way, I was slightly disappointed. Don't expect much gore in this one. This movie isn't about that. It's pretty old-fashioned, relying on storytelling and suspense. The two movies get compared a lot, so I may as well compliment on that. I felt The Strangers did a better job with thrills and overall. The Strangers truly scared me! This one most certainly kept me on the edge of my seat, but I wasn't truly scared. I didn't care for the ending either. Credit to Olivia Bonamy & Michaël Cohen for being likable leads that I was able to root for. I did LIKE this movie, but I didn't love it. I don't think it's as good as everyone says it is. If you ignore the hype, you should get a suspenseful horror movie. That's what it is! nothing more. That's far from being a bad thing. 6.6/10

Awesome horror movie. The french are really good as suspense style horror, like with High Tension.The movie is real simple, we learn very little about the victims before the horror begins and it's amazing how they were able to fit over an hour of terror with so little.The torturers in the movie was the best part. You never see it coming, and when you look back on how they attack, how they hide and how they hunt, it becomes interesting once the monster is shown.It's a horror movie in a language not my own but it I did not need to speak the language in order to fully enjoy this picture.
