No love for this?
I really enjoyed it although it was pretty much a bigger-budget, scarier, more adult Doctor Who episode, really (it even features DOCTOR WHO himself in it!).
Like many Doctor Who episodes, it doesn't bear much PLOT SCRUTINY but I really liked how it lures you into this soft nostalgia before PULLING THE RUG in the last third. I kept thinking "why is this film rated R?" for 75% of it until you go OH OKAY THAT'S WHY
Works as a cautionary tale and a FEMALE ISSUES film without laying it too thick, which I appreciated. The only real flat note for me was the WIDE-EYED SUPPORTIVE BOYFRIEND which was UTTERLY UNBELIEVABLE and that's saying something in a film about TIME-TRAVELLING by PULLING YOUR BEDSHEETS OVER YOUR FACE.
Nice to see so many parts of Central London used as locations too, particularly so many I have MEMORIES attached to.
