    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Contrary to the marketing's claims, Wes Craven had no involvement in the production of the film. The complete U.S. title for They is "Wes Craven Presents: They". Craven was considered an 'executive producer' of the movie. However, other than lending his name to the title, he had no part in the making of They. It's assumed that the purpose for putting his name in the title was to publicize the movie and attract horror fans.
    • Goofs

    exceptional psychological horror
    "They" owes more to Val Lewton than to Wes Craven. there is even a well

    done pool stalking scene lifted from "Cat people". The film is aided by

    some great casting and a persistent subtle tone that really gets under

    your skin. The director does well in keeping the title entities largely

    unfocused and hidden in shadow. I was very impressed as a lesser talent

    could have easily steered this project into schlock territory. As it is,

    "THEY" is a well done adult horror fairy tell that will certainly find

    extended life on video shelves as it is the most original and well done

    psychological thriller in years. I highly recommend that anyone

    interested in intelligent horror support this film and see it in

    theaters to get the full effect and enjoy the creative use of sound and

    light.Good work from all
