"They're in the house!"
Many horror movies involve people experiencing terrifying events in places of unfamiliarity. Victims come upon a strange house, venture onto a back road, or get lost in a swamp or in the woods. All of these stories are driven by the fear of what is "out there." But what happens when what is "out there" suddenly comes "in here" (such as into the safety and comfort of our own home)? What could be more terrifying? This is the idea that is explored by "Them," a movie that introduces us to a young couple who live in a secluded home in the woods. Much of the early part of the story focuses on the uneventful details of their lives: driving home from work, eating a meal, watching TV, and preparing for bed. But this couple is about to experience what is anything but an uneventful night. Once begun, the terror (and tension) never lets up! The defining line occurs when one of the characters says, "They're inside! They're in the house!" You will have to watch to find out who "they" are, but you will be on the edge of your seat until the surprising answer is revealed.

Sounds that go Bump in the Night!!
This movie is dripping with atmosphere! Very intense, really great performance from Olivia Bonamy and Michael Cohen. This film is directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud. They wanted to make an intense edge of your seat horror movie and they pulled it off.The young couple living in the country are in for a night of terror as Them are out to get them. There is very little blood spilled, but the feeling of helplessness and dread will keep you in suspense until the end. Who are Them? What do they want? Why are they here? You will not believe the end of this film it will leave you in disbelief! There are shades of Argento and Bava with the creepy use of lighting and dark lit sets.There is also a very informative special features package that shows the making of Them. Loads of behind the scenes, interviews, the composition of the musical score, trailers. Turn out the lights and watch this one alone in the dark. If just might give you a chill or two.

I don't know about "THEM" but "WE" want our money back!
Fooled Again by Raving 5star reviews on Amazon! Another foreign film that actually deserves 1 star but is some how praised by morons makes it to 4 star average ratings is beyond me. This film is a waste of time and I've seen better action on those made for T.V. horror movie shows they show on the Chiller Channel.Where was the film? Where was the story? What did I just want 60minutes of my life on?"Them" is only a 1/4 of a full length movie with all the important pieces cut out. Watching this movie is like catching the second half of a real horror movie. The characters you never get to know. You just see that one works as a teacher whom hates kids and the other is a writer... but somehow together they make enough to live in a mansion. I thought it was a hotel at first because it was so huge and had so many rooms... but then I realized it was a house. I spent a majority of the movie wondering how much do these people make to own a mansion. Then before I realized the movie was already over.Yes this film is short and since it's so short there's not much to talk about. If you want to know what "Them" is... it's just a typical "hide and seek" the victims hid while the killer seeks them scene stretched out over 40 minutes. The first 20 is them talking about nothing. I dunno the woman comes home from work the guy talks about his laptop... they make dinner...watch tv..go to bed.. all takes like 20-30 minutes and then finally "Them" actually starts.If anything this half assed excuse for a movie only pissed me off. How can something so uncreative and bland get so many raving reviews? There's nothing in the movie to rave about...It's not even long enough to remember. I honestly wish there was maybe just one thing in this movie that made it note worthy but everything in here I've seen before. This film is a clear Knockoff of an m.knight shyamalan movie... except he actually tries at least you can get a plot and 2 hours worth of film off him.Nothing was more annoying than watching 2 people I could care less about run for their lives while making the most idiotic decisions. I mean I know Europe bans guns but atleast buy a sword.. a bat... kitchen table leg... or something to defend yourself with. The entire film I just kept thinking... are these people dead yet...and when will the credits roll. It's bad watching a movie knowing that the best seen is the one that happened 5 minutes into the movie. After that it's all down hill from there.All I can say is that if you want to waste your money buy "Them" if your looking for an actual movie this isn't it. Not scary... not brilliant... not anything worth talking about. I'm sure I will forget this film... but I will always remember the money I wasted.This one is a 1 star well deserved.

CREEPY, SCARY, TERRIFYING .......
I went on a search for what I considered the scariest movie of all time. Not slasher/bloody scary, but the type of movie that creates an atmosphere of fear, then takes you a step further, then a step past that to the point that you get chills down your spine. 'Them' is the movie that finally got my vote as the scariest. After giving up on American horror movies, I moved to the foreign ones. This was hand-down the scariest one of the bunch. The setting, the characters, the antagonists are all set up beautifully! The director is a master at his craft. See this one if you enjoy being scared of the unknown.
