Bad Burns

About This Movie

So, 'Bad Burns' is a curious piece from 1982 that's more of a happy accident than a traditional film. You’ve got these two reels filled with outtakes from the second part of '3RD DEGREE,' but thanks to a mishap with the camera loading, the images slide off-center and are all blurred. It feels almost dreamlike, like you’re peering into a half-remembered memory. The atmosphere is oddly whimsical yet unnerving at times, which makes it pretty interesting to watch. You can't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all—it's a fun exploration of what happens when things go wrong in filmmaking. Definitely gives you a unique perspective on the creative process, wouldn’t you say?

A rarity in the collector scene, 'Bad Burns' has limited circulation since it was never intended for a wide release. The lack of a known director or formal genre adds to its mystique, making it a sought-after piece for those interested in avant-garde cinema or the accidental artistry of film. Most copies are found in obscure collections, and any chance to grab it might spark interest among those who appreciate the unconventional and the history of film production mishaps.
