Movie Reviews of Them! (Snapcase Packaging)
Movie Review: THEM! has not aged well over the past 55 years
Summary: 2 Stars
I saw this movie when I was a kid and found it somewhat scary. Today, it just seems slow, clunky and dated. It attempts to build suspense by taking about 1/3 of the movie to reveal that there are - gasp! - GIANT ANTS on the loose in the American Southwest, but overall there's little action until the closing reel. Along the way, we are treated to a lecture on ants (complete with old film clips) and some dubious science to explain why a colony of ants could grow to 10 feet in size in only ten years. The acting is adequate - look for Fess Parker as a patient in a mental hospital - but no more, and the overall preachy tone grows tedious. Worth watching as a historical artifact, but don't expect edge-of-your-seat suspense.
