Misfits of Science

About This Movie

Misfits of Science is this quirky little gem from the mid-80s that somehow blends sci-fi with a bit of comedy and a dash of adventure. The story revolves around these two researchers, Hayes and Lincoln, who stumble upon a guy that's been frozen for decades. It’s got a fun vibe, mixing a bit of absurdity with some heavy themes about the ethics of science and the greed of corporate interests. You see some solid practical effects here, especially for the era, and the performances are delightfully offbeat. It has this loose, free-flowing pacing that gives the whole film a laid-back feel, making it a curious watch for any collector interested in unique narratives of that time.

Misfits of Science has had a somewhat uneven distribution history, which has led to it becoming somewhat of a collector's curiosity. It was originally a TV pilot but transitioned into a movie, and this hybrid status makes it more interesting. On home video, it’s not the easiest to find, especially in decent condition, so collectors keep an eye out for those rare copies. The film’s oddball charm and unique premise have piqued interest among genre enthusiasts, making it a collectible piece for those who appreciate the offbeat side of 80s cinema.
