It starts pushing buttons immediately and never lets up. This proves to be both its strongest asset and, unfortunately, its biggest flaw.

Perfectly acceptable, perfectly bland, competently acted but by no means a scary horror movie, in which "they" are coming to get people.

They is a psychological horror film that delves into the depths of a troubled mind.

مقبول تمامًا، عادي تمامًا، تم تمثيله بكفاءة، لكنه ليس بأي حال من الأحوال فيلم رعب مخيف، حيث يأتي "هم" للحصول على الناس.

Sensation, not sense, is the point of this exercise, and what it lacks in originality it makes up for in effective if cheap moments of fright and dread.

A dull, dumb and derivative horror film.

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.

The hilarious diminuendo of that title is such that the movie might as well have been called ''Wes Craven Presents: Not a Hell of a Lot.''

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

This film is another mild horror film that never wants to be more than that and never strives for more. Its greatest merit comes from making an effort to deal with the public's childhood fears. It is meritorious, in that it takes advantage of an interesting idea to make a horror film, but it fails in the attempt to scare us. The script is based on the existence of something that, under cover of darkness, torments children in their room at night. Years later, as an adult, Júlia Lund meets a childhood friend who kills himself in front of her, allegedly to get rid of the creatures that torment him. That is, the film has potential, but it is lost as it becomes more complex. The monsters are so obvious and poorly made that they never scare, and from the moment the audience understands the story, the film has little more to give: the ending becomes obvious and the film ends up becoming slow, tiring and uninteresting with the progress of the film. The cast is average and does not do more than expected. The highlight naturally goes to the beautiful Laura Regan, the protagonist, who was able to capture the public's sympathy despite sometimes sounding exaggerated. Wes Craven is notoriously mentioned in the introduction but I don't see what he could have done to improve the film other than simply to allow to put his name there in exchange for a handful of dollars. Robert Harmon does an average job in the director's chair, looking satisfied with a film that never impresses. At a more technical level, the film is as warm as everything else: the scares are predictable and not frightening, the design of the monsters is good enough if we take into account that we never see them well, the special, visual and sound effects are decent.

THEY are part of one of the worst movies I have seen in years. I'm not even sure who the THEY are! Usually Wes Craven doesn't put his name on something unless it's decent. This isn't even close to decent. This is the slowest, most boring horror film I've ever seen! "Hey remember that that scared us 19 years ago, when we were kids, well all of a sudden it's back, so ummm call your childhood psychologist." Laura Regan is laughable, getting more upset by some crap on her finger than her friend blowing his head off in front of her, and it's just downhill from there. There is nothing scary about this film. I really have to question how like this even gets made.
