Threads

 

I’ve known about this movie for some time.  It was probably on some internet list of the the worlds most disturbing films.

So during my last battle with the deadly Covid 19, I watched Threads.  It is a 1984 movie produced by the BBC about nuclear war.

Wonderful 1984 patina.  It takes you right back to those good old Cold War days.

I really liked the obscure location of Sheffield and the characters’ accents. 

Remarkable results for a low budget film. 

It was almost like a documentary.   

It really makes you feel the horror of nuclear war, and even worse the horror of surviving nuclear war.  If you’re looking for a creepy 80’s throwback movie — This is it!
