Bad Channels Review

Review of Bad Channels (1992) by screenqueeen: 👍 3.5/5

HOOPTOBER 9.0 20/32

Nicolaou really loves his broadcast horrors, doesn't he? Found this thoroughly enjoyable all the way through, its mostly single-location setting completely engaging through asshole jockey Dan O'Dare's incessant narration of real time events. For a Full Moon title built around a few music videos the songs were pretty well chosen. I was expecting like 3 W.A.S.P. songs based on the same few chords but the music is a pleasant surprise. A real neat b-side to TERRORVISION -- not as splashy as that, but hey, neither is radio compared to TV -- that feels evocative of the old-school scifi horror it rips without repeating it frame for frame. Could do without a certain joke but still fun!
