  • I remember this film too --I think about 15 yrs ago?  I thought it was A LOT more frightening and realistic than the Day After. So much more frightening today, I can't watch the rest of the film. Now, none one I know remembers this....maybe they ought to show it again with the way the world is going...

  • As an American I vividly remember watching "The Day After" when I was about 8 years old and it freaked me out. 26 years later I was still thinking about it. I found it online and kept seeing comments about Threads. I had never heard of it. After watching it I can safely say that I'm glad that I only saw the American movie and not this as a child. I think I would have ended up in a psych hospital. This movie is terrifying and with the little faith I have left in humanity it seems too real.

  • Powerful, horrific, terrifying, so much so it's almost unbelievable that humans could do this to each other. They can of course, history tells us that. Sure it's only drama, but drama based on history is never that far off the mark. It didn't happen in the cold war, we thought we'd made it, but look at events since the end of the cold war ... and think again.

  • I remember watching this in school when I was 11, scared the shit out of me.

  • E.T at 4:02

    

  • As an American and a filmmaker I still have to concede that the BBC has defeated Hollywood hands down with this motion picture. This remains the number one sheer most terrifying sequence in all cinema. Period. Scared me as a child and still scares me today at 43. Well done.

  • this is terrifying but at the same time it gives me a boner

  • @AnarchistGoth I thought the same thing

  • Sick, fucking truth. God help us.

  • Anyone caught in the open air beneath the fireball would be either vaporised or turned to carbon in an instant, leaving a White shadow on the ground where they were laying. The early trinity tests and hiroshima re-enactment videos also here on you tube explain the atomic bombs powers more clearly.

  • @morgansifer82 Same story for me - even worse: I was born in Sheff on May 26th 1982, the very day that the bombs fell in the film! Creepy.
