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 They (2002). It's assumed that the purpose for putting his name in the title was to publicize the movie and attract horror fans.

Goofs

intriguing premise, but doesn't hit the mark

Well-crafted thriller that plays upon night terrors and the old "monster in the closet" legend. An ambitious, sensible young psychology student is occasionally frightened by memories of old childhood nightmares. She, along with a group of strangers, eventually come together believing they were all traumatized and "tagged" as children by mysterious night demons, the very same demons who may be returning to complete some ominous, unfinished business. Occasionally spooky thriller holds your interest the way it should, but it never really tops its effective opening sequence, or gets informative enough to be really satisfying. **
