    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The flamethrowers used in the movie were standard World War II weapons and were loaned by the U.S. Army. The actors handling the weapons were World War II combat veterans, who had used them in battle.
    • Goofs
      Dr. Harold Medford identifies the ants as Camponotus vicinus, a species that does not sting its victims. However, one must remember that these ants are mutants.
    • Quotes

      The Ellinson Girl: [screaming hysterically] AHHH! THEM! THEM! THEM!

    • Crazy credits
      Although the movie was shot in black and white, the film title at the opening credits appears blood red and blue. This was accomplished by Warner's Eastman Color process.
    • Alternate versions
      A 2-3 minute segment following the projection sequence was excised from the film in the mid-1950s following a lawsuit from a real-life scientist whose name was used in the story for a fictional explanation of atomic energy effects on ants. The scene was removed from the negative and has not been restored though it has turned up in some collector's prints.
    • Connections
      Edited into Encounters at the End of the World (2007)

    The Best.
    Them! is the best giant bug movie of the 1950's and one of the best, if not the best monster movie of the decade.

    The acting is excellent with good performances from James Whitmore (The Relic) and James Arness (The Thing From Another World). The movie includes haunting desert settings and the giant ants look great. The sounds they make makes the movie even more eerie.

    This is 50's monster movie action at its very best.

    Rating: 5 stars out of 5.
