Wes Craven-Produced Horror Film with Unique Premise Available on Paramount+

Wes Craven is a horror cinema legend, known for giving us classic films like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream. But did you know he also dipped his toes into producing? One of his lesser-known productions, They, can now be found on Paramount+.

The movie follows psych student Julia, played by Laura Regan, as she grapples with the traumatic suicide of her childhood friend Billy. Strange occurrences begin to plague Julia, leading her to question if the monsters they feared as kids are real. But are these creatures products of her mind, or is there something sinister lurking in the shadows?

While They didn’t receive high critical praise upon its release in 2002, it does offer a unique and eerie experience for viewers. Director Robert Harmon creates a palpable sense of dread throughout the film, capturing a time when darkness seemed to envelop everything. Although the premise of They might feel familiar now, it presented fresh ideas back in the early 2000s.

Whether Wes Craven had a major influence on They remains a mystery, but the film is worth a watch for fans of his work. So, if you’re intrigued by Craven’s involvement or just in the mood for a spooky chiller, turn on the lights and stream They on Paramount+. Who knows, you might want to keep a flashlight handy, just in case the shadows start moving.
