When I was a little kid, I played this one video game called Vigilante 8: секунда Offensives. In that game, there was a level where Ты can find a meteor and a giant ant would come out and attack. Since then, I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of giant bugs in fiction. Only a few years назад did I find out about this movie, 1954’s Them!. This was the first giant bug movie, which depending on your taste, is an accomplishment или a failure on the Фильмы part. So, for the third день of Cultober, let us take a look at Them and see what makes it such a classic film for the time of the 50s.
Taking place in the desert town in New Mexico, police officer Ben Peterson investigates a series of disappearances and murders after finding a little girl wandering the desert in a catatonic state. Soon, еще and еще people disappear and it is later found out by him and a pair of scientists that there are giant ants wandering the desert due to the nuclear testing that had occurred and now they are attacking people for food, and it is up to them to defeat them, или rather, Them! Eventually, they start to Переместить from the desert and start attacking people in the air and in the sea, causing worldwide panic, and the group must do what they can to stop Them! Of course, I can’t say that Ты should expect giant ants fighting humans with Оружие in this movie, at least not for a while because these ants don’t just Показать up.
Them! Is a very slow movie, for good reasons. Ты see all the destruction that the giant ants do, but aside from that, there is very little of them for the first thirty minutes. Ты can hear their bizarre signal a they call out to one another, Ты can see the destruction they cause as they attack and kidnap people, and Ты can see their strange obsession with sugar, but aside from that, we don’t really see the giant ants. But when they do come up, Ты can pass the effects off as looking pretty silly by today’s standards, but the costume for the creature looks amazing, and kinda uncanny. Comparing the size of these massive ants to the size of the human actors makes Ты both disturbed by the threat of these creatures and impressed by the special effect artists that had to make those things. And they made a lot of them too. Many of the costumes were burned for the film and destroyed, and they had to make a hundred of them, so Ты really grow to appreciate the effects. Plus, I’m a sucker for old monster puppets, animatronics, and costumes. They just have a sort of charm to them.
Sadly, this is a movie I have very little to talk about. There isn’t much bad in the movie, if any at all, but what good there is there, there isn’t much to discuss. I like the suspense, I like the monsters, and despite being a 50’s movie ends on a real dire note, but aside from that, there isn’t much else to talk about. Maybe it’s best if Ты give this movie a watch. It was referenced in several bands, movies, and TV shows, and was even rumored to have a remake, one by the director of the original Супермен and The Omen, and the other by one of the guys behind the Back to the Future franchise. It’s a real classic that deserves it’s critical status. Give it a try.
