The Item (1999)
Hysterical!

I admit that when I rented this movie I was consciously searching for bad horror. For the first ten minutes I just stared at the screen in confusion. And then as soon as the shooting started (Alex: "I gotta pee...") I was laughing my ass off. I loved this movie. I loved the symbolism, and I loved the fact that Alex told the artsy chick that her art was obvious (I am not a fan of art, by and large). I thought the actors were stellar, and their performances very nearly made you forget that the "monster" ("monkey?") of the movie was a rather poorly designed puppet covered in vaseline. In films of this budget it is uncommon to find an entire cast that can hold their own. I did adore Alex, but I think Martin was my favorite!!!
