Howdy, Traxians! Brand new to the site it's THINGS! It's a cult classic that we've gotten many, many requests for in the past, and we're pleased to say that it's here! And it's also quite possibly THE WORST "MOVIE" WE'VE EVER DONE.

It almost feels wrong to call Things a movie. Things is more of an experience. It opens with a basement nightmare — at least, we hope it’s a nightmare — then eases into the main action of two bored Canadian guys trying to kill time in a dingy house while their buddy Doug sits in the next room. They find a tape in the freezer full of demonic recordings. They put tap water in their beer to make it better. They make a cockroach sandwich. And, eventually, some Things show up from another dimension. They’re bug monsters that don’t move because they’re not even puppets. The hosers go to battle with the bugs, using tiny chainsaws and drills. Meanwhile the movie goes to battle with your senses, as you try to make sense of what you’re seeing and hearing. Fortunately, we’re here to help guide you, or at least share in the “HUH?”

The movie itself is rated TV-MA for language, gore, nudity, graphic violence, and also for containing the movie THINGS. The Extended Preview comes in hot, once again, so don't say we didn't warn you! 

I'd normally say "Enjoy!" here but that might not be the best word for it.  So...

Observe!

I think the worst movie they've ever done is actually a tie between Baby Ghost and Cool as Ice. Cool as Ice is so... insufferable. The whole thing is like one of those jokes from The Office that tries to make the audience squirm with discomfort, but stretched out into movie length. The number of yes men Robert Van Winkle must have surrounded himself with in order for for him to have thought that movie was a good idea would have to have been brought to the set each morning by the busload. Baby Ghost is probably the legit winner because nothing happens. It's just 112 minutes of non-florescent whitebalanced terrible audio that takes place in a single location, which is "hall." Of course the acting is terrible, but worse yet, the attempts at humor are truly cringeworthy. Things looks downright interesting by comparison.

It’s probably a bad sign when even the preview is unwatchable.😬

Tara Steiner

How dare you guys do this movie! Now I have to break my oath to myself and watch Things for a second time.

Ok, I know I'm not the only one that saw it. Please someone explain the question mark that shows for one frame under the director's title card... Maybe an upset editor, or just incompetence? It's all I can focus on in this clip.

I’ve seen this on the Last Drive In and seriously, this is Manos level bad. Nothing makes sense, especially the “news” breaks. The villain can’t stop grinning at the camera. Every aspect of it is awful, yet you can’t look away if you can make it 10 minutes in.

OK I think there was something wrong with my download. Surely you guys didn't intend to riff some idiot's home movies, right?

Final Sacrifice is no longer the worst thing to come out of Canada …

Lori Gentry

So far, all good references to 'Final Sacrifice' folks👍🏻! I am also taking a stab-in-the-dark that the lady in bed getting her "meds" is probably get paid (in pills) at that moment for being in that film.
