Jonathan Cherry
Reviews Featuring Jonathan Cherry
Bland. Absolutely nothing new or interesting. Dreary thrills and pointless gore. Bad acting from the relative unknowns and a terrible plot that had seen better days in the first movie. Let's just pray there wont a sequel and this hackneyed series has reached its final destination.
Despite being almost completely overlooked upon its original cinematic release, and resorting desperately to the 'Wes Craven presents' imprimatur to gain attention, 'They' is an atmospheric, carefully controlled piece of psychological horror about the impossibility of casting light upon the irrational. Its subtle use of shadow and gloom is best appreciated with the lights turned down, but do keep in mind that 'they come for you when it's dark'.
Given a straight choice between zombification and another hour-and-a-half spent watching this stupefyingly awful plop-horror, Id choose joining the ranks of the undead every time.
