One of my favorite movies. Nuclear war is something I have recurring nightmares about and am actually afraid of so it gets me more than any horror movie.
It definitely seems more plausible than a serial killer or cult something like that, especially so recently after the cold war like when this movie was made.
I recommend the book, “Alas, Babylon” by Pat Frank (read by Will Patton if you get the audible version, which is what I love to listen to).
It’s about a community’s survival after a nuclear attack. No zombies or jump scares. Humans being humans and a lack of communication/resources.
Warning: it is a dated book. It’s time period is set during segregation. It isn’t predominant, but it does come up from time to time.
Here is a link to the audible version: https://www.audible.com/pd/B004BOGF3W?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=pdp
Shout out to Anne Sellors, her only role ever was in the movie Threads and she was credited as ‘Woman Who Urinates on Herself’ (though technically uncredited.)

Here’s the scene, it’s actually terrifying. (Anne seen at 1.15)
lol thank you for that trivia.
I’m terrified of Nuclear war and I live in Sheffield, double fear!!
Thats an auto move situation if i ever heard one.
I thought they were talking about this
Edit: for some reason the image doesn’t appear on Lemmy, and the alt text is completely gone. Hopefully this will work better image of threads tab open on kbin showing this post/thread
lol thats really funny, Im actually a lemmy.world user, so I don’t even have that option.
That is one of the most jarring things I have ever seen.
It was one of the handful of movies I was literally speechless after.
Threads is the only movie I needed to take a break from watching before I finished it. It was right after Ruth walks through town for the first time after the bombs drop…
I thought those Dragonriders of Pern were going to take care of all the Threads.
