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.
It gave me a chuckle that they slotted that into the article!
IMDB even has a listing for "woman who urinates herself" when the bomb drops.
I always remember the last scenes when the main protagonists daughter tries to wake her "RUTH! RUTH!".
I've got it downloaded but haven't watched it since the 80s as it's part of my childhood trauma so might take a bit of unpacking!
Brilliant film. Absolutely chilling though.
100% horror, just… in a different kind of way.
