The critical consensus reads: "An urgent warning against nuclear conflict, ''Threads'' is a chilling hypothetical that achieves visceral horror with its matter-of-fact presentation of an apocalypse".<ref name=rt/>
 
[[Peter Bradshaw]] of ''[[The Guardian]]'' called it a "masterpiece", writing: "It wasn't until I saw ''Threads'' that I found that something on screen could make me break out in a cold, shivering sweat and keep me in that condition for 20 minutes, followed by weeks of depression and anxiety".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2014/oct/20/threads-the-film-that-frightened-me-most-halloween|title=Threads: the film that frightened me most|last=Bradshaw|first=Peter|date=20 October 2014|work=The Guardian|access-date=28 April 2019|issn=0261-3077|archive-date=8 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190508005618/https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2014/oct/20/threads-the-film-that-frightened-me-most-halloween|url-status=live}}</ref> Sam Toy of ''[[Empire (film magazine)|Empire]]'' gave the film a perfect score, writing that "this British work of (technically) [[science fiction]] teaches an unforgettable lesson in true horror" and went on to praise its ability "to create an almost impossible illusion on clearly paltry funds".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/threads/review/|title=Threads|last=Toy|first=Sam|date=1 January 2000|website=Empire|access-date=28 April 2019|archive-date=10 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190410113004/https://www.empireonline.com/movies/threads/review/|url-status=live}}</ref> Jonathan Hatfull of ''[[SciFiNow]]'' gave a perfect score to the remastered DVD of the film. "No one ever forgets the experience of watching ''Threads''. [...It] is arguably the most devastating piece of television ever produced. It's perfectly crafted, totally human and so completely harrowing you'll think that you'll probably never want to watch it again." He praised the pacing and Hines' "impeccable" screenplay and described its portrayal of the "immediate effects" of the bombing as "jaw-dropping [...] watching the survivors in the days and weeks to come is heart-breaking".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.scifinow.co.uk/reviews/threads-remastered-dvd-review-this-is-the-way-the-world-ends/|title=Threads remastered DVD review: this is the way the world ends|website=SciFiNow|date=11 May 2018 |access-date=18 February 2019|archive-date=19 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190219130119/https://www.scifinow.co.uk/reviews/threads-remastered-dvd-review-this-is-the-way-the-world-ends/|url-status=live}}</ref> Both ''[[Little White Lies (magazine)|Little White Lies]]'' and ''[[The A.V.
