in both the original movie and the remake, i think the creepiest scenes are where they commit suicide, and where they discuss their plans to commit suicide. to me, the thought of someone intentionally killing himself is much creepier than the thought of someone getting killed by someone else. furthermore, imagine if a person changes his mind after he takes the poison. furthermore, i doubt many people would commit suicide, even under these circumstances.

All that over the issue of Taiwan.

The day after from 1984 was just as good as threads.

@qwertasdcfghjklmo24z Well in theory yes they could of. How about Soviet subs they carry nuclear weapons and can sail all over the world, including Australia. They just had to be off the coast lets say Sydney, just for argument sack, and fire their nuclear missiles at it.

@Professor6871 So that means during the Cuban Missile Crisis Australia and New Zealand could have been nuked if war came?

@MasterJediDude The novel is of its time when they didn't know about the whole phenomena of nuclear winter, which would happen after such a catastrophe. I mean even if less than quarter of the nuclear stock pile was used in war, you'd still get these long term disasterious environmental effects across the planet.

@simplenametag a romantic apocalyptic novel something you don't equate with this sort genre. Where as with Threads was the gritty reality that would be a nuclear holocaust.
