THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE
3 DISC COLLECTION INCLUDES 7 HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES & BONUS DOCUMENTARY SURVIVORS: THE SPECTRE OF THREADS
On Sunday September 23rd, 1984, THREADS was broadcast on BBC2. Written by novelist/playwright Barry Hines (KES) and directed by BAFTA winner Mick Jackson, the film depicted the effects of a thermonuclear attack on the working-class city of Sheffield. Four months later, the film was shown on American cable TV. In both countries, the graphic horrors of detonation, societal collapse and nuclear winter were indelibly seared into tens of millions of homes. Over four decades it has remained 'brilliant' (The Guardian), 'unsensationally grim' (CineSavant) and 'piss yourself terrifying' (The A.V. Club). For the first time ever, THREADS is now scanned in 4K from the original 16mm A/B rolls with 7 hours of Special Features produced by Severin Films. This collection also includes a Bonus Disc of Craig Ian Mann & Robert Nevitt's new documentary SURVIVORS: THE SPECTRE OF THREADS that explores the untold stories of the film's impact on the people of Sheffield and throughout UK culture.
