I can confirm that the 1984 Threads movie is pretty traumatizing. Not in a horror movie kind of way, in a "this is realistically what would happen in and after a nuclear war, which is the end of everything in the worst way you can imagine" kinda way.
It's on youtube.
I only saw parts of it… but yeah, it’s plenty messed up. What’s even worse is that it’s not messed up in an exploitative way, though. Like you said, it’s horrible because a nuclear war would be horrible. The people who were unlucky enough to survive would be absolutely brutal to one another.
It's the antithesis of all the gung-ho apocalyptic films that has all the alpha males wanking off about they would survive & become a leader.
I watched it when it was broadcast & the conversation at school for weeks after was how no-one of us wanted to survive the blast because of how fucking horrific and what a curse it would be!
