Officially, the plot is simple -- a Dalek malfunctions and develops a moral code, and the obvious solution is to re-enact the 1987 cult hit "Innerspace." “The most dangerous place in the universe," we're told, although I think the people on the outside of the Dalek would disagree. Cue lots of eerie lighting, croaks of "Exterminate!" and a chance for the Doctor to scoff at soldiers. Really this is a chance for Peter Capaldi, somewhat wasted in his first proper appearance, to shine.

They Live Remake Imagined by I Saw the TV Glow Director
Movieweb, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 03:51 PM
I Saw the TV Glow has just begun its slow theatrical rollout, with a much wider release coming May 17. There's been a lot of hype about the hazy, anhedonic, post-vaporwave, anti-capitalist aesthetic of filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun after their first feature film, We're All Going to the World's Fair. Their next film is yet another original quasi-horror tone poem that elaborates Schoenbrun's distinctive vision amid the cinematic landscape (so ber-hip but anti-awesome).
