Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
PodBill Just what I expected
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Tromafreak That score! That dialogue! That awkward pointlessness! What in hell happened here? In similar situations, I usually half-jokingly say "I don't even want to know". But in this case, I really, really wanna know! For whatever reason this movie ended up like it did, it was definitely intentional. It didn't take a long time to figure that out. Somehow, that doesn't take away at all from how completely insane and random this movie is! It's like Troll 2, or Horror House On Highway Five, with maybe a little Zombie '90 thrown in. Exactly! That's the kinda odd I'm talking' about, here. Which makes me wonder How in the hell could I have gone as long as I did without seeing it? That's the part that gets me the most. And by the way, I adore this film. Mainly because I can watch it a thousand times and still have no idea what's going on. Now, that's what I call rewatch value! Whilst searching for next awesome B-movie for my collection, this is the kinda thing I'm always hoping to eventually unearth. It rarely happens, which makes it all the more satisfying once it does. Such a disasterpiece, that Things truly is a masterpiece. A masterpiece of the odd, the surreal, and the confusing. Why can't Troma ever release stuff like this? I'm gonna watch this movie so many times, it ain't even funny! And not to mention the recently released DVD offers two audio commentary tracks. There's gotta be something in one of those which offers some sort of an explanation. Although, if there isn't, somehow, I won't be surprised. If you like 'em bad in all the right ways, this confused Super-8 epic is nothing short of a beautiful experience... Oh! And yeah. I did notice how I said absolutely nothing about a plot. Trust me. It makes no difference. 10/10
HumanoidOfFlesh "Things" really has to be seen to be believed:it's perhaps one of the worst pieces of late 80's horror garbage I have seen including such abysmal low-budget atrocities like "The Shaman" or "Return of the Family Man".The ugliness oozes from the screen,the cinematography is amateurish,the acting is diabolical and the script is so disjointed that it doesn't make sense.Two lazy beer drinkers go to this creepy house to drink tons of beer from the icebox and end up having to fight some ant-like monsters with sharp jaws that were born from woman's womb.Utterly awful and inept piece of garbage with Casio keyboard music,laughable dialogue and paper-mache effects.A porn star Amber Lynn plays the small part of reporter:she clearly enjoys reading news from cue cards.A must-see for fans of the worst horror films ever made.You won't believe your eyes-"Things" is a sheer genius of atrocious cinema.
Sean Moore I literally got a headache trying to finish this movie upon first viewing but then I watched it again and again. Then I started to laugh so hard i cried. When I returned it to the video store (yes kiddies a video store this one is too bad for DVD) I had to buy it. This is beyond the worst movie ever made but it is also one of my favourites, because it is soooo bad! Much like the other posts, when people try to tell me what the worst movie ever made is I quickly bring out my copy of THINGS! There is too many bad things about this film to type so if you want a real treat search this one out! Trust me you will have to struggle through it the first couple of times but it becomes so laughable you will love it! P.S. If anyone out there knows where I can pick up a copy of Barry's follow up, "Wicked World" please let me know. I am now an addict!
lejeph There is only one.There is no other.If you've been looking for the best, you've now found it.To those who saw it and disliked it: you'll die never understanding.I won't review the plot here, as there has been enough of that already. Such descriptions may provide information on the physical details of the events in the films, but there is something indescribable in the way it is put together.If you want to understand, FIND IT! It is rare, but worth it indeed....and if you dare, order his second film, Wicked World, from his very own website: www.barryjgillis.com Long live the best film ever made: THINGS!
