Things (1989)

How bad is it? It's so bad that many wonder if it was intentionally bad.
Should you see it? Yes, though it's been hard to find.


An artificial insemination experiment goes awry and leads to a monster that escapes. Or monsters. Or bugs. It really is that hard to follow. This film probably only still exists because of an early appearance by Amber Lynn. It was shot in Super-8, and dubbed in post, but not synched and with drop-outs and noise. The dialog is unbelievably banal. One of the stranger things is that people put their jackets in a refrigerator, where there's a tape recorder. Some of the action may be a dream sequence, or a hallucination, but I'm not sure. Nothing makes sense in this, but it did hold my attention.
