          Trivia

          Warner Brothers initially passed on this picture and expressed little interest. However, when Paramount offered to pick it up, Warners dropped its objection, although it eventually eliminated the 3-D and color aspects. It's hard to understand the studio's lack of faith in the picture, since Genshi kaiju awareru (1953), Ray Harryhausen's first solo effort, had been one of the studio's biggest hits of the previous year.

          The tree seen to the left of the damaged trailer as the two patrolmen approach it is quite obviously a tree of different size and configuration when it is seen from the inside of the trailer. See more »

          Gordon Douglas' film was the epitome of the big-bug films
          23 February 2009 | by Nazi_Fighter_DavidSee all my reviews

          The marauding ants in "Naked Jungle," advancing across a desert, are matched by the monsters in "Them!" coming out through mists of the white sands of New Mexico after an atomic blast has increased them to giants…

          Slowly people start to go missing and the news filters though to the nearest towns that the arid plateau can present a real threat as strange creepy whistles are coming out from that deep desert…

          Rather than an atomic movie, the film is about the struggle between humans and species revolt which invade their cities and show their remarkable energy, tenacity and vulnerability…

          Just as the Gill Man can only be driven back when he has isolated far from his natural element, the monster ants are all powerful in their own territory and none too easy to destroy outside it…

          "Them!" is well acted, frightening, and engaging from start to finish… The cast is pretty damn good, especially James Whitmore as the pretty intelligent cop who found a five year old girl, aimlessly walking through the terrain of the desert— miles from her family's wrecked travel trailer—unresponsive by some catastrophe...

          "Them!" is a well-made monster movie, an instant classic nominated for an Oscar for its effects
