Featured review
It's everything a low budget production from the 80s could be, especially in a world before CGI but, as a basis for the craft and imagination it nurtured, it should be considered an inspiration for anyone with the imagination and aspiration to venture into original and ground breaking film making and cinema. Plus it includes references to Doctor Who, which can never be a bad thing, and you can also see those references reciprocated by that series the following century with some similar looking characters that appeared one season. Must have been great fun to make.
