''[[Ils]]'' (''Them'' in English) is a 2006 French horror film set in a remote country setting of Romania.
Line 9 ⟶ 8:
Ils was well received for maintaining excellent tension throughout (the film only lasts for around 75 minutes, but this is not to its detriment) and for being a scary film without the use of much gore. Most of the scares are of the [[Nothing Is Scarier]] variety, with the intruders often just tormenting the couple [[For the Evulz]]. The film is also notable for having relatively little dialogue. It's not a feature which has too much attention called to it, but this is a film that people who shy away from subtitled films could manage quite well.
 
Not to be confused with ''[[Them]]'', a 1950s creature feature, ''[[T HeyThey]]'', a thriller from the early 2000s, or the 2008 horror film ''[[The Strangers]]'', which has a similar premise.

* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: Justified/Averted/Played Straight, whether they are mere sewers (played straight) storm drains (justified, as they need to be larger to allow greater flow of water) or maintenance tunnels underneath a highway (averted, as they are meant to be accessible to people.)
* {{spoiler|[[The Bad Guy Wins]]: Though they avoid [[Karma Houdini]], as they get arrested some time after the events of the film.}}
