Where to Watch Threads
Threads Ratings & Reviews
- Johan Potgieter19 november 2025War is hell. Nuclear war is extinction.
- Antonio Mankini2 maart 2025Very prophetic. Our possible future then 1984 and now 2025 with the current status of governments in a shift to authoritarianism & totalitarianism.
- stuhannaford16 juli 2025Plays more like a public service announcement nowadays, but I can imagine the genuine fear and sheer terror watching this would likely have caused viewers during the Cold War. As the film progresses, it descends into a collection of individual scenes, more than an overarching story as a whole. There are two aspects to consider, the effect of nuclear war, physically, and the effects socially. From a physical point of view, and with a terrifying accuracy on real life events, I’d recommend Chernobyl, the HBO series, documenting the disaster at the infamous plant, over Threads. It simply doesn’t hold back. A movie from a fictional standpoint, you’ll do worse than 28 Days Later and the apocalypse that shows. Sadly, and rather prophetically, the film’s lasting message is that of government overreach, the rise of authoritarian regimes in the name of the good of the people and the disintegration of society as we know it. Every man and woman for themselves. To see this for your own eyes, recent events from the turn of the 2020’s paint a similar picture in reality, one might argue.
- XXBlackMothXX20 mei 2025This movie scared the life out of me. This could happen, this movie is tense, gritty and it feels so real. I felt sick after watching it. I watched it alone....
- Night30 april 2025They say this the scariest movie ever made for a reason. Watch at your own discretion.
- MrMitchie16 maart 2025Wow, so this film was recommended to me to watch because the reviewer basically said in a nutshell "This will be one of the most disturbing movies you will ever watch". I have finally watched this film and my high expectations coming into it were not disappointed. This film is brutal, direct & gritty it is a look at what could be if a nuclear war was to happen.
- Jay Holtslander25 oktober 2024Be forewarned that although old and low budget this will be one of the most unsettling and depressing movies you'll ever see and you won't forget it any time soon. It'll leave you thinking that survival is probably not the best option.
- David Daniel12 oktober 2024Devastating, absolutely devastating
