    There is only one thing that could make this "horror" film actually worth seeing. Nudity, lots and lots of freakin Nudity.

    This movie is problably the worst movie I have ever seen. The only thing that the movie has going for it is that it stars Ethan Embry. The acting is pathetic, the movie does even resemble anything that could scare someone, and the plot is horrible. I could have tolerated the fact that the movie was not scary, if it had a good plot. However, there was no rhyme or reason to this movie. I can not say this vehemently enough: "IT STINKS!"… Expand

    Wesley Craven really ought to be more careful when throwing his name about. Agent Finn doesn't look very well either. Maybe it's because he's stuck in movies like this one since leaving Buffy.

    "They". Let me start off that this the first and perhaps only time i will post for a person..producer..star..in which ever in light, a person make take a "fan mail" in. In essence i have never posted on a forum, commented to the creator, or written in any form, a comment ever so if you read this realise i am trying to make this as original as possible ... anyhoos back to the topic...the movie "They" this particular movie was disregarded by pampered, short sighted critics that in veiw i think disregarded the honest true base, that the movie portrayed simply because "these critics" where comparing your movie to the "typical scare flick" standards and honestly on those levels they are right...but artistically and truthfully on the primal sence of the mind, you hit the nail on the head and drove it straight home, at least for me might i add... i am a fear junkie, and have watch all the scary movies i can(not i might add none of them ever work)...my dreams make most peoples "horror flicks" seem friendly and dosile..except in this case...the movie "They" was like taking one of my dreams and putting it on film, that movie did exactly as it was meant to do to those of us who had nightmares of a simular fashion (if there are any) i attempted to read on the sight to see if any other posts where made to support this movie but found none... if i missed it sorry... but alas i shall sum it up...the movie hit so close to home it brought back the same childhood nightmares...or night terrors as they are called in this movie as a movie i can tell this was thought through, and was put together 100% in the best possible light you could make this movie...if you had done anything to change it, to make it liked by the critics...you would have ruined it..although my veiw my be unhelpful in sales ( not a critic ) I wanted you to know this is the ONLY movie to ever get me to JUMP and scare me the way a movie is meant to scare a person...for the movie " the ring") stunk i laughed the whole time... completly predictable all the way up untill the end..and even then i still expected a slight change.....so not an easy person to scare...good show..as far as the critics...for the artistic level in which they are PAID or not..they critised to poorly I GIVE IT a 5/5 for its scare, genius and artistic level..actors, all of you grade A preformance...well done!!… Expand

    This was one of the worst movies I have seen. It wasn't scary or interesting. Bad acting and close to a low budget film. Waste of money.

    Why the bad reviews. Acting- some of the unkown stars give a great performance. The special effects work well with the plot, and are only gracefully to keep up with the suspense until the end. There are no slasher jokes or characters. The national gaurd is not called for action in this movie. The movie is like a strong small play with big budget film resources that help make this short story more like that book you read during a summer in your teenage years. The DVD contains no behind the scene or any features.… Expand

    The film stinks from start to finish, like a wet burlap sack of gloom.

    They never generates any real fear until its last minutes, by which time it is too late to redeem the dull events that preceded them.

    They has a low-budget, generic feel -- but also enough sense to know that unseen menace is a lot creepier than explicit gore.
