really, really, really bad cinema
It finally dawned on me, while watching RiffTrax, how to describe part of the appeal of terrible films like The Room.
They're like those "can you spot ten things wrong with this picture" puzzles for adults. Except it's more like 1500 things, and rather than flaws like "the duck has no beak" and "there are two moons" you get "this character totally changed actors for no apparent reason" and "this sport that they are playing has no relation to football or any other earthly recreational activity."
