RPG Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Anybody seen this before? Its the Film (made by Barry Hines of Kes fame) which shows the lives of 2 sheffield families in the aftermath of a nuclear strike on sheffield (from IMDB: Documentary style account of a nuclear holocaust and it's affect on the working class city of Sheffield, England; and the eventual long run affects of nuclear war on civilization.)

Mo Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I can remember seeing Threads in the mid 1970's. It absolutely scared me to death, made even more poignant by the fact that it was shot in Sheffield. I can remember having nightmares for weeks afterwards.

Paul Cocker Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Yeah I bought this film on DVD - aged slightly, but it's still a reasonable film and actually pretty horrific due to the fact you recognise the locations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djadam Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I saw it when I was 16. I want to see it again because it was such a powerful film, but there's no way I'm going to put myself through it; I don't want weeks of nightmares again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 If this isn't a suitable topic for a thread I don't know what is. Anybody see/remember the film Threads? It was about the after effects of a nuclear blast over M'cr (no loss there) and was based in Sheffield. The pub scenes were shot in The Nottingham in Broomhill which was my local at the time. There were lots of location shots based around Sheffield. It's available on video/dvd now so if you get the chance watch it. OK DaBouncer, see what you've done now, I can't be stopped!
