MOVIE - WES CRAVEN PRESENTS "THEY"(2002) - $$$$$ $ (OUT OF 10)
STARRING - Laura Regan (Julia Lund), Marc Blucas, Dagmara Dominczyk, Ethan Embry & Jon Abrahams.
DIRECTED BY - Robert Harmon (The Hitcher & Nowhere to Run)
The secret behind childhood night terrors is revealed.
"They" deserves some credit for trying to scare us without resorting to dismemberment. Unlike Ghost Ship and The Ring there are actually a few instances when you might jump in your seat. These moments occur when everyday objects are cast in a sinister light in the Alfred Hitchcock tradition. The opening sequence for instance, in a child's bedroom, convincingly conveys how an active imagination can turn seemingly comforting surroundings into a demon filled landscape.
Except for the use of his name as presenter of "They", Wes Craven has nothing to do with this movie (See Greg's Previews).
"They" is fine for "Them" that like scary pictures.
