A blast of a short film produced on a minuscule budget by true lovers of the genre. The fact that the producers managed to snare Patrick MacNee (star of the classic British TV spoof *The Avengers*) should give some indication of the surprising quality. Also present and participating in the copious laughs is Bob Burns, longtime fan and sci-fi memorabilia collector who has become somewhat of a celebrity in his own right thanks to ownership of the only surviving armature (18" skeleton) of the original King Kong. Burns and his wife Kathy have also received a cameo in Peter Jackson's *King Kong.* If you get the chance to view this little gem you are in for a treat!

I think this film is a great send-up of the 1950's sci-fi films. It has a fantastic cast and it made me laugh. There is great attention to every detail. What more do you need in a film?

This is one of the most refreshingly creative shorts I have seen in a long time. It's smart-it's camp-it's funny. The film also features some of today's best character actors-Duane Whitaker, Daniel Roebuck and Jimmy Keene (the acting machine). Kathe Duba-Barnett's star is on the rise, if you get the chance...see this movie!

OK OK I know it warns you in advance being "THE LOW BUDGET TIME MACHINE" and all, but it has to be one of the most unwatchable shorts that I've ever seen. Which is to bad because they had some really amazing old school actors and not to mention, legendary Frank Black doing some doing some music for the film.Don't take my word for it check it out for yourself and you be the judge.
