...the movie's mild success is due predominantly to Harmon's stylish visuals and Regan's engaging turn as the sympathetic central character...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 17, 2021

How someone who could helm a film as relentlessly creepy and suspenseful as The Hitcher could deliver a dud like They is beyond me.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 8, 2014

The last ten minutes of the film really stuck with me.

'Wes Craven Presents.' Such an endorsement is meant to be a mark of quality, and indeed it is--bad quality, that is.

I've seen They twice now, once theatrically and once via DVD, and...for the life of me...I can't tell you what it's about.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 6, 2004

On the heels of "The Ring" comes a similarly morose and humorless horror movie that, although flawed, is to be commended for its straight-ahead approach to creepiness.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 26, 2003

The movie's gloomy atmosphere is fascinating, though, even if the movie itself doesn't stand a ghost of a chance.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 24, 2003

With the cheesiest monsters this side of a horror spoof, which They isn't, it is more likely to induce sleep than fright.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 9, 2002

Harmon ... does crank up the tension, getting nicely petrified performances from the young cast.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 8, 2002

Characters wander into predictably treacherous situations even though they should know better.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 8, 2002

It's certainly entertaining enough and made with great style, but the whole thing feels slightly undercooked.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2002

Stinks from start to finish, like a wet burlap sack of gloom.

| Dec 5, 2002

The attempt to build up a pressure cooker of horrified awe emerges from the simple fact that the movie has virtually nothing to show.

| Original Score: D- | Dec 5, 2002

They is this year's apparent last gasp of a horror film. They is pretty lame. They looks like They was made for the bottom half of a double-bill at a drive-in that no one told the filmmakers had closed 25 years ago.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 4, 2002

There's nothing to gain from watching They. It isn't scary. It hates its characters. It finds no way to entertain or inspire its viewers.

Full Review | Dec 3, 2002

One of the most boring horror movies in recent memory.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 3, 2002

Efficient, suitably anonymous chiller.

| Dec 3, 2002

They ought to be a whole lot scarier than they are in this tepid genre offering.
