it should be mandatory viewing in school

Why is this shilled so hard right recently? Did it get a new Bluray or something?

every supreme ruler must be forced to view it
if kim saw this movie he wouldnt be able to sleep for decades
the most depressing piece ever imaginable

Nice to fanatise about the death of the Northerners

I'm actually just about to watch it.

>Why is this shilled so hard right recently?
Threads has been a Sup Forums mainstay for a very long time, my friend
We even made the woman who pisses herself a meme

Its great. One of the best horror movies of the decade.

reminds me that I gotta finish watching this

Pretty much the British version of The Day After:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_After

Both pretty fucked up and frightening. That stillborn birth scene near the end still gives me shivers. It is also frightening how close we actually came to having that happen during the Cold War.

Severin is putting said blu-ray out next month.

I thought the baby was just deformed from radiation, not stillborn

I thought it was implied the baby grew up to be the girl at the end.

I wish this gem got meme'd harder.

Nah, that shit was stillborn.

It's shot on 16mm right? Bluray lol.
At least it will beat the VHS shit that is out there

BLUDDYELL
>tfw that poor bastard watches his family slowly die in agony before he finally expires weeping and alone in graveyard

fast forward to 1:38:30, the baby is alive and normal, mom is grinding corn to feed them, the baby then grows up to be the little girl

Dude, HD remasters of 16mm masters can look fucking incredible on blu-ray.

Just watch the 4K based remasters of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Evil Dead and The Driller Killer. They're all fantastic remasters of movies shot on 16mm.

Even with the crappy Youtube compression algorithm, the remaster looks to be really fucking good.

Ruth's baby, Jane, is born after the nuclear shit. Ruth ends up dying when Jane is still a prepubescent girl. The movie then goes forward a few years and Jane ends up fucking that one food thief. She gets pregnant from that and it is that baby born as stillborn.

It was boring as shit. The Day After is much better and has one of the most horrifying nuke scenes in film history

motherfucker, he's talking about the baby of the little girl, not the little girl herself.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threads

Do you all even read? Jane's baby at the end is stillborn. At 1:38:30, that is Ruth giving birth to Jane, who does grow up.

kek I just remembered I turned the movie off with like five minutes left thinking I would watch it later and then forgot I never watched it hahahaha thanks for the (You)s though

Oh, (You) have got to watch that last 5 minutes. It is one of the most powerful scenes in the whole movie.

just watched it, yeah that's fucked up

forgive my use of buzzwords, but it's honestly the most
>harrowing
and
>disturbing
movie I've ever seen. more than come and see, or lilya 4-ever, or any torture porn bullshit

I've been coming to Sup Forums since people where hooked on Glau, never seen this mentioned before last month.

Well the universe does not revolve around you my lad

I had to turn it off around when the bomb dropped because I had to go and take care of something. Sounds like I'm in for a hell of a toboggan ride when I jump back in

Agreed. Whereas something torture porn-ish like The Human Centipede is fucked up in its own right, there still is, for me at least, an element of fantasy about it. What makes Threads and The Day After so fucked up is how accurate they could have been and how close we almost came to such a reality.

I liked the movie, but you've got to be pretty soft or a child to consider it "harrowing".

When the wind blows was far better.

Does it compare at all to Come and See?

Yeah it does. Just about as fucked up, but for different reasons.

bump

It's a well-made film, but its sheer intensity makes it almost unwatchable in parts. The nuclear attack sequence remains one of the most harrowing 5 minutes of film ever produced.

Just finished it. Jesus fucking Christ. Surprised me that I didn't see the OP image as a shot, only ever saw that guy from the side, it seemed like an iconic still from the movie.
