Nine years ago, Stewart Thorndike burst onto the scene with her début feature Lyle, the story of a young woman recovering from a tragedy who becomes convinced that somebody is trying to harm the child she’s carrying. It was intended as part of a trilogy, and it has taken a long time for her to be able to bring the second part, Bad Things, to the screen, but it’s here at last. It follows four friends who travel to a remote hotel which one of their number, Ruthie (Gayle Rankin) has inherited, and where, unfortunately for them, what was intended to be a fun couple of days before the place is sold turns into a fight for survival.

Paranormal events spring on internal emotional conflicts in Stewart Thorndike’s study of psychic disturbance
American director Stewart Thorndike’s horror film is a gender-flipped and queered remix of The Shining, complete with a pair of creepy spectres (joggers this time) and an ominous fixation on a particular hotel room. Ruthie (Glow’s Gayle Rankin) turns up for a weekend break at her mother’s snowbound resort, which she is in line to inherit, with three friends. She, girlfriend Cal and pal Maddie just want to loll around the pool and have fun. But antsy Fran (Annabelle Dexter-Jones), who mistakenly believed she had cancer, won’t settle down and seems to have designs on Ruthie.
Thorndike couches proceedings in an aura of generalised hipsterdom – Cal is never seen without her Hole T-shirt, while the fluorescent-green title design is purloined from Twin Peaks – that is suffocating for the film’s first 15 minutes.

"Bad Things answers the call for female Jack Torrance types to air their rage." Shudder has revealed the official trailer for indie horror film called Bad Things, the second feature made by queer American indie filmmaker Stewart Thorndike. After first premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier in the summer, the film is now set to debut on Shudder streaming in August if anyone is curious. A group of female friends end up at an old hotel for a weekend getaway and soon discover that "women do bad things here." This hotel trip for a weekend getaway might not turn out as this group of friends thought it would... The film is described in reviews as a "queer take on The Shining" and "a refreshing twist on slashers." This chilling psychological thriller stars Gayle Rankin, Hari Nef, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Rad Pereira, and Molly Ringwald. This certainly looks like a low budget indie,...

Writer/director Stewart Thorndike made her feature debut with the 2014 psychological horror film Lyle, which showed what happened when “a mother’s grief over the death of her toddler leads to horror.” It was said that Thorndike was “developing two more female-driven psychological horror films” that would stand alongside Lyle to form a trilogy “about the power of motherhood”. Now the second chapter in that trilogy is making its way out into the world. Thorndike’s new film Bad Things will be released through the Shudder and AMC+ streaming services on August 18th, and a trailer can be seen in the embed above!

Writer/Director Stewart Thorndike’s 2014 film Lyle introduced a contemporary riff on Rosemary’s Baby. Thorndike’s latest, Bad Things, continues the filmmaker’s horror explorations of motherhood, this time through Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. A brand new trailer teases lead Gayle Rankin‘s channeling of Jack Torrance in the upcoming psychological thriller.
A snowy hotel weekend getaway with friends devolves in a psychological tailspin and ends in a bloody nightmare. Check out the new trailer below.

Stewart Thorndike’s horror-psychodrama starts with the main character carrying a chainsaw, ominously trudging across an empty, snowy parking lot outside an abandoned building. The scene is like a giant sign reading: Horror Tropes Ahead.
And Thorndike knowingly piles them on. The chainsaw-wielding Ruthie (Gayle Rankin) has arrived with three other people at the isolated hotel she has inherited from her grandmother for a last weekend before she sells it. The film never reclaims the droll touch at the start, which reveals that Ruthie uses the saw to cut a log lodged under the tires of the Uber that brought them there. Instead, Bad Things is smoothly competent and uninspired — or, more accurately, inspired by The Shining, from the hotel setting to the tracking shots along a narrow corridor and a set of ghostly twins.
Thorndike’s major twist is that the four main characters are queer — three of them women,...

Writer/Director Stewart Thorndike’s 2014 film Lyle introduced a contemporary riff on Rosemary’s Baby. Thorndike’s latest, Bad Things, continues the filmmaker’s horror explorations of motherhood, this time through Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. A psychological horror film set at an isolated, wintry hotel becomes ground zero for deeply flawed characters to explore their ghosts to mixed success.
Much like Jack Nicholson’s Jack Torrance, Bad Things introduces the lead character Ruthie (Gayle Rankin) as someone already a bit unstable from the outset. The idea is to spend a weekend with friends at the hotel Ruthie inherited, albeit an isolated hotel trapped in yesterday with outdated décor and a lack of guests. While Ruthie’s less enthused about staying at a place that holds traumatic memories, she’s distracted by her messy relationships with supportive girlfriend Cal (Hari Nef), Cal’s fiercely loyal pal Maddie (Rad Pereira), and...

“Bad Things” is a great amount of fun as a lo-fi slasher with a killer cast. Writer-director Stewart Thorndike’s sophomore feature, following the 2014 breakout film “Lyle,” is a queer take on “The Shining,” centered on a deserted motel in a sleepy snow-filled suburb. Gayle Rankin (“Glow”) leads the film as Ruthie, the heir to the Comley Suites, who also has a traumatic tie to the hotel itself.
Ruthie and her three pals, including girlfriend Cal (Hari Nef), hole up for a weekend getaway at the campy motel, which has been in disrepair ever since Ruthie’s grandmother died. Ruthie’s mother is somewhere roaming the property, but she keeps dodging both Ruthie’s texts and her hook-up handyman, Brian (Jared Abrahamson). Tensions mount as Brian lingers around and Cal waits for Ruthie to propose, despite her being unfaithful with Fran (a delicious Annabelle Dexter-Jones), who is Maddie’s (Rad Pereira) friend with benefits.

Bad Things premieres on Shudder on August 25, 2023.
Bad Things (first look above) tells the story of a group of friends whose trip to a snowy resort for a weekend getaway devolves in a psychological tailspin and ends in a bloody nightmare.
“With ‘Bad Things,’ I wanted to create a world of women and non-binary people who shake off polite conditionings and finally roar,” Thorndike said in a statement. “Where are all the female Travis Bickles and Jack Torrances? ‘Bad Things’ answers that.”
“At the heart of ‘Bad Things’ is a dark celebration of motherhood and all its splendid viscera. Shudder was the perfect partner for this tale of female rage,” Thorndike also said.
