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.

Why it’s crap
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.
