**Very bad movies** 1. _Plan 9 from Outer Space_ 2. _The Food of the Gods_ 3. _Liquid Sky_ 4. _Manos: The Hands of Fate_ 5. _Repossessed_ A 1990 spoof of _The Exorcist_, starring Leslie Nielsen and Linda Blair. It was clearly trying to capitalize on Nielsen’s success in parodies like _Airplane!_ and _The Naked Gun_, but it wasn’t made by the same creative team, and it was painfully unfunny. ---
