Sorry, but in no way does this one fall into the "so bad it's good" category for me. "Things" is about as amateurish and ponderous as you could possibly imagine and I failed to find even the slightest glimmer of a redeemable quality behind it.
Failing to impregnate his wife, a guy apparently allows a mad doctor to perform fertility experiments on her which prove disastrous when a vicious insect-like creature erupts from her abdomen. At the time, he has a couple of drinking buddies over who, along with him, are forced to slay what becomes a horde of killer bugs.
Not only is this movie poorly shot and acted - many scenes are so horribly edited that you literally can't tell what's going on; such as when a guy has his fingers chopped or chewed off. I can only assume it was a bug creature, but no indication of it is shown on screen. On top of that, there's an abundance of incredibly drawn-out, go-nowhere scenes of walking around a house with flashlights, paper-mache effects and unintelligible dialog, thanks to some top-notch sound recording. Perhaps this one works better when seen with a group of people and a hefty supply of liquor, however, I watched it alone and was kinda tired so I'm ruling this one a total bomb of a low-budget horror effort that is irritating, headache-inducing and completely BORING.
