PREVIEW: The Room

What: Midnight screening of The Room

Where: The State Theater

When: Midnight, This Friday and Saturday

 

The Room, a famously bad movie, is playing this weekend as one of the State Theater’s regular midnight screenings. There are plenty bad movies, of course, but The Room apparently has that elusive quality of being “so bad it’s good.” A combination of the filmmakers sincerity yet lack of skill, exaggeration, poor technique, and humorous mistakes are the elements which usually come together by some mysterious process to create the best bad movies. Elements which, if the hype is to be believed, The Room possesses in spades. So it’s perfect, if you’re into that sort of thing.
