Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: That ol' cinematic devil the A-bomb has spawned a colony of giant murderous ants bent on destroying humanity in this, the seminal big bug movie (an obvious and oft-credited influence for Alien among countless others). The special effects may be dated, but this brilliantly rational-sounding film has held up wonderfully in all other regards, including some starkly effective location work in the high Arizona desert, a genuinely inspired sound design guaranteed to bring on the creepy-crawlies, and an unexpectedly dry sense of humor (mainly personified by Grade-A egghead scientist Edmund Gwenn). This is essential viewing for all those who consider themselves science fiction or horror fans. Heroic hardcase James Arness previously played for the other team as the titular character in The Thing from Another World. --Andrew Wright

them
this was very first sci fi movie i ever saw and i have loved it ever since...dvd arrived in excellent condition very quickly

The Best Giant Bug movie
A timeless classic - This is a great giant bug monster on the loose. Ive been watching this since I was a kid. Great big ants, great effects for its time,some very chilling scenes (such as the girl who screams "Them!Them!" This is an easy to follow good story / acting / good pacing make this stand way out above other giant bug and monster movies during the nuclear age of monsters. Even the monsters roar is chilling when you here them come creeping along. I will give this giant ant movie HIGHEST recommendation. The DVD has some cool features and the movie title Them is colorized. Neat effect !

B Movie Bugs at their Best
Out of the long list of atomic age, giant bug films Them! remains by far the high watermark. With a nice attention to detail, excellent characters, and what at the time was impressive special effects it created a sub-genre that was frequently immitated, but never equaled. If you're a fan of classic sci-fi this movie is a must, but you may also want to know that it's available as a double feature with The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms for even less money--spend a little less, get twice as much.

Best SciFi Film Ever
One of the first SciFi films I remember seeing as I grew up in
the 1950's. James Whitmor and James Arness (Matt Dillion) began
their careers with this production. Thank God for DVD's, I have
been able to reactivate my memories of black and white movies and
early TV. Only "ALIEN" has equalled the suspense and horror of the
SciFi genre.
