What critics compared Threads to
Threads…
Cold war–era filmmakers asked what happens when the bomb drops, from bureaucratic panic in Fail Safe (1964) to full-on collapse in Threads (1984).
…the made-for-television movies The Day After, The War Game, Threads, and Testament are uniformly excellent…
A House of Dynamite would cower in fear at the imagery of Threads.
It wasn’t even the hellish aftermath the survivors would face, as depicted in the BBC drama Threads (1984).
Mick Jackson’s Threads traumatising anyone who saw it on its first broadcast in 1984…
Is it just me or whenever there is a post-apocalypse story especially a YA adaption almost all the good guys look not only perfect but seem to have a glow about them, so this cast is full of great looking people, dressing snappy and they all seem like they stepped out of a hair salon, maybe some of the writers and directors should watch a real post-apocalyptic movie like “Threads” (1984) to see how the world might really look.
