Movie Reviews of Doctor Who - Spearhead from Space
Movie Review: Frighteningly Good!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ah the Unit Episodes!! This is Who at its best. Brilliant portrayal as always (and highly believable) by Pertwee, and one of the best and underused baddies in Who history. The Autons have so much potentioal, and the image of plastic coming to life scared the heck out of me as a kid. This one is one to enjoy for all time. HIGHLY suggest you pick this up, wait for Saturday night, dim the lights and watch with the kids.
Summary of Doctor Who - Spearhead from Space
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/06/2005 Run time: 97 minutes Rating: Nr"Spearhead from Space" launched Doctor Who into the 1970s with not only a new Doctor, Jon Pertwee, but a new assistant, the scientist Liz Shaw (Caroline John) and a regular place in the show for UNIT and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart (Nicholas Courtney). It also marked the debut of the program in color and saw the Doctor stranded on Earth after Patrick Troughton's last adventure, "The War Games" (1969). Not only that, but it proved the only serial in the show's history to be entirely shot both on film and location, giving it a uniquely cinematic feel. Regenerating in a country hospital, the Doctor finds himself helping the Brigadier investigate an unusual meteorite and its links with a sinister doll factory. The Autons are cybernetic killers--anticipating The Terminator by some 15 years--and the sequence in which they break through shop windows to slaughter pedestrians remains a chilling highpoint of Doctor Who's entire history. Things do turn silly with a subplot involving a wax museum, while the ultimate battle with the Nestine consciousness is more likely to induce laughter than fear, but as vintage television nostalgia this is fast-moving, splendidly characterized entertainment. --Gary S. Dalkin
