Swedish title a big fail...

The Swedish title for "Them" is "Spindlarna" which means "The Spiders".
But there are no spiders in this movie.

I'm pretty sure that the guys who translated the title never saw the film, they just looked at a poster and figured that the giant monsters were spiders instead of ants.

In Germany it is called Formicula.

Being Swedish, my guess it that they simply didn't care enough about the accuracy, but that "Myrorna", "The Ants", would be simply ridiculous as a title for a scary movie.
