No, Jay, "Threads" was just plain terrifying. I was depressed for weeks
afterwards. "The Day After" was hoky by comparison. The only other movie
that's left me that depressed was "The Pawnbroker".

I was a young teenager at the time, and it was a film about nuclear war
(which in 1984, seemed only too likely). I didn't sleep properly for 3
weeks afterwards, and every flash of summer lightning had me bolt awake
in bed thinking it was a nuclear detonation - I had nightmares about
milk bottles melting in the heat. I have since watched it all
the way through - unlike "The Day After", it WAS NOT toned down. It is
the most depressing movie I have ever seen.

Wow. And I thought "The Day After" was scary!
