Need Privileges to view
I'm trying to view this page http://www.horror.com/php/?m=show&id=1678 which comes back when you google "site:horror.com Them" because you can't search for "Them" within the forums and it says "You need to login(which I have already done) or you need more priveleges to view(and then it redirects before I can read the rest of it)" This is in firefox btw.

The upgrades caused a lot of glitches like this...Some of us can view items on the front page, while others can't
Funny thing is, the person who WROTE that review, Staci Layne, can no longer log into the forum...Another forum upgrade glitch Anyway, if you want to know what the review said, I can copy/paste it for you: French directors David Moreau and Xavier Palud are currently putting the finishing touches on their remake of the Hong Kong Pang Bros. hit, The Eye, in America. Before seeing their most commercial effort (starring Jessica Alba and everything!) go back and check out Them, a bare-bones thriller so stripped down it doesn't even have its underwear on. (Well, OK – sexy star Olivia Bonamy isn't wearing a bra, if that counts for anything.) Bonamy plays Clémentine, the attentive, attractive girlfriend of frustrated writer Lucas (Michael Cohen). She's a teacher of French in a Hungarian school, and that's basically all you need to know. Because that's basically all you'll ever know. Things like back story, character development, exposition and your requisite hand-holding simply don't exist in Them. It's just them (Clem and Lucas) on the run from them (unknown assailants). The chase begins after night falls on the couple's modest, lonely little house. It's dark, and the situation is made darker still by their power being cut, their car stolen, and their home invaded. The stalking and screaming goes on indoors for a bit, then travels out of doors, through the woods, and finally into an underground labyrinth. Them never shows the antagonist's point of view, nor does it ever steer away from the plight of our chased couple — for some viewers, this will be an exhilarating thrill ride. For others, it will become tedious. I fall into the latter category. Unlike The Descent, a British horror film with which is shares a few base similarities, Them is a one-note jolt. The de-saturated colors, shaky-cam, and downer finale don't help matters, but that's not to say there isn't talent o' plenty here — the acting is gritty and believable, the tension-level stays cranked tight, and the accoutrements (sound design, in particular) are all top notch. When all (which is actually very little) is said and done, Them isn't all that. = = = Reviewed by Staci Layne Wilson

You can't get the front page articles either?...That really sucks...I have no idea what determines who can and who can't...None of us had any problems with it before the stupid upgrades.

I actually watched it last night, it might not have been award material but it didn't suck, it kept me engaged and a little suspense filled. This is what I'm here for actually is to find the good horror flicks that I never heard of from the last 10 years. Stuff that scares me, not stuff that makes me want to throw up. I think I heard about it in a reference to it and Inside in the Indie forum. I'm not a purist, but most of the stuff in the top 100 that I hadn't seen and have since watched hasn't done anything for me. Pretty much ghost, devil, unnamed supernatural entities, and suspenseful slasher stuff is what gets me. I don't believe in vampires or werewolves, but being agnostic, I'm not ready to totally discount the devil or ghosts, and some dude that just needs a facial shooting doesn't scare me.
