Dr. Who and the Daleks
“Now on the Big Screen in COLOUR!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 55, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Peter Cushing's eccentric scientist takes his companions to a colourful alien world populated by extremely determined metal enemies. The family-adventure tone and broad comic mishaps make this a bright retro curiosity, especially for viewers interested in a different screen version of Doctor Who.
