Trivia
Contrary to the marketing's claims, Wes Craven had no involvement in the production of the film. The complete U.S. title for They is "Wes Craven Presents: They." Craven was considered an 'executive producer' of the movie. However, other than lending his name to the title, he had no part in the making of Le peuple des ténèbres (2002). It's assumed that the purpose for putting his name in the title was to publicize the movie and attract horror fans.

Goofs
In the opening stormy weather scene lightening and thunder crash and the power goes out. Young Billy's flashlight quits working as the scene shifts back to young Billy's window there is a night-light lamp that is still illuminated.

Quotes
Terry: What do you think went through Billy's mind when he did it?
Sam: The bullet.

Alternate versions
A work print shown to test audiences features an open credits sequence of young Julia sleeping.

Do Be Afraid Of The Dark...

THEY are our childhood fears haunting our adult lives. THEY shun the light, living only in shadow. THEY've marked their victims as children, returning years later to claim them.

One big complaint about this movie is the darkness. No, not the atmosphere, the actual darkness that makes many scenes difficult to see. Sorry, squinting won't help.

RECOMENDATION TO VIEWERS: Watch this movie in a dark room with the video brightness set at 100%. Then, you might be able to make out what's happening, especially in the scenes containing the monsters. Having watched it this way, it was more visible and enjoyable. However, you may need sunglasses for the brighter sequences...
