So-bad-it’s-brilliant cult classic THINGS (1989) — Friday Night WTF! — $5
January 23, 2026 : 9:00 pm – 10:30 pm
Friday Night WTF screenings are cheap, weird, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night.
“An unforgettable DIY mind-melter, perhaps the best to ever come out of the Great White North, or anywhere else for that matter… Prepare yourself for something life-changing.” – Screen Slate
This movie is your new favorite drug. Somewhere in Canada, three friends arrive at a house in the woods to watch TV and drink beer. Little do they know that they’ve stepped into a black hole to another dimension, one that’s dripping with giant mutant bugs, gore-soaked chainsaw battles, and violence against all forms of logic. No words can prepare you for THINGS. Part hoser hangout comedy, part DIY splatterfest, this surrealistic non-sequitur from anti-reality, will overtake your central nervous system with every emotion that’s essential to being alive—excitement, hilarity, outrage, fascination, confusion, repulsion, and exhilaration. If John C. Reilly as Dr. Steve Brule decided to make a Canuxploitation creature feature, it would be…THINGS.
