Them

[kybearfuzz]

I watched Them tonight, thanks to Netflix. I found out that "The Strangers" is not a remake, but just a movie that has a very similar plot, but it pales in comparison to "Them."

The film starts out with a French schoolteacher going to see her writer boyfriend at their remote house in Romania. The couple spends a quiet evening having dinner, watching television, and making the sexy stuff, when the schoolteacher hears strange noises in the large old house. The couple becomes slowly terrorized by an unknown number of assailants pounding on doors, flashing lights through windows and more until they get in the house.

The movie builds the tension up slowly and methodically with some nice startling moments. The English subtitles are not very distracting as there is a lot of action in the movie with little dialogue. The ending is very disturbing and surprising. I highly recommend it.

Recommendation taken.

I'll keep an eye out for this. Foreign horror films are interesting to watch; they always have a refreshingly different point of view. Make sure you borrow Frontier(s) from NetFlix.
