There are some Z-movies that get absolutely everything so unbelievably wrong on every level - and in such a singularly bizarre, insane, utterly logic-defying way - that watching them almost feels like some kind of psychedelic, mind-warping experience. These are the films where you spend the entire duration of the movie simply staring at the screen in wide-eyed disbelief, mouth agape, twitching slightly, and occasionally saying "what?". Fascinating in the same way that a gruesome train wreck is fascinating, these films are surreal and unsettling in ways that a more well-made film could never be, as they make you feel like someone slipped something into your drink. Whatever these films may be, they definitely aren't forgettable.

This House Has People in it maybe. But similar to Shaye's Triggers Compilation, it's meant to be weird.
