Things may be the worst film ever made. Ironically, that has become the calling card of a film that would have been better never being made. A self-proclaimed must-own for cult collectors, Things compensates for dreadful Super 8 filmmaking and incomprehensible sound with gratuitous and uncompromisingly extreme sadism. Magically, the film has entered a critical nether where praise and scorn serve equally to reinforce its allure.

Doug Drake (Doug Bunston) and his wife Susan (Patricia Sadler) encounter problems conceiving and see Dr. Lucas (Jan W. Pachul). Low and behold, the Doc is actually a malevolent sociopath with a penchant for laughter-fueled torture. It’s not long before Susan is impregnated with the fetus of a hysterically created but disturbingly perverse creature. It multiplies and in no time the house in the woods is infested with them.
