Movie Reviews of Them! (Snapcase Packaging)
Movie Review: A timeless classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a fool for old B&W horror and sci-fi movies and this is one of the best. A tense, fastly paced drama staring Matt Dillion's James Arness ( he also played The Thing in The Thing )as an FBI investigator checking into the very mysterious death of an agent and his wife. Helping in the investigation is the super James Whitmore. Slowly the riddle begins to unfold with startling results, it is ants killing people in the middle of the desert. But not the typical household pests, but monstrous ones capable of rippling apart buildings or sail vessels.The acting is a dream, with taughtly written and directed pace. Look for Fess Parker in a very small role as a man who sees the large ants and ends up in a mental ward because of it.
A must for any true fan of this genre!!
Movie Review: The terror or THEM!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a MUST-HAVE for your classic movie collection. Who can resist these great old black and white films with giant monsters / ants/ spiders, etc. chasing humans?? (and of course, the classic screams coming from the pretty girl that ALWAYS is rescued and won over by the tall, strong and handsome hero of the movie!) I don't think Hollywood can, in all their newfangled abilities to create incredible things with special effects, EVER top the charm of these old movies. To watch this movie, and many other classics, is a way of stepping back in time to a more innocent time, and not having to listen to a movie filled with swear words, nudity, and all that nonsense. How refreshing, and how perfect for family viewing, and just plain FUN.Movie Review: Sci-Fi Them
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Sci-Fi. I especially have a fondness for older Sci-Fi movies. This movie is a classic. 1950's Atomic testing, Giant ants, detective work, drama, and intrigue characterize this movie.
This is one of my favorite older Sci-Fi movies. I have watched this, through the years, a hundred times. It has just the right touch of anachronistic setting and acting that it was probably out of date the day it was finished. Yet, it is fun to watch.
The battle scenes between the humans and the giant ants are fun. The attempt to act seriously during these scenes is sometimes funny to watch.
Overall, this is a great movie.
If you have not seen this movie, I recommend it.
Movie Review: the birth of the big bug movies,and the best
Summary: 5 Stars
this horror movie(or sci-fi if you like)is the first and still the best of the big bug movies to come out. it wisely starts as a mystery as a little girl(teddy bear in tow)is found walking alone in the desert. after she is picked up her camper is found and it has been distroyed with both mom and dad killed and the only thing she says is "THEM"! from there we spin into the track down of the cause of the problem,which turns out to be ants muntated by a-bomb test to giant size.
this movie never lets itself get to far away from the truth of the moment and because it is done so ,it gives the film the feel of something that is really happening.
one of the best from the 50's, check it out!!!!!!!
Movie Review: Review of "Them"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is classic 50's science fiction. The story addresses the common theme of 'science gone out-of-control with dire consequences.' The particular science which has gone awry in this film is the harnessing of nuclear energy as weaponry. In this case, giant ants represent the "them" that the creation of the atomic bomb has unleashed... but, of course, giant ants are but a metaphor for the unintended consequence of using that for evil (to destroy) as opposed to a purpose which had and has great potential for contributing to the common good.
A bonus: the movie also stars James Arness in a pre Matt Dillon role.
A must for the connoisseur of classic science fiction.
