An incredible horror hoax on the UK public that was aired only once. So innovative. Track it down and imagine watching it live.
A brilliant TV hoax that terrified the UK. A major TV moment and a great piece of early found footage in a way
Mostly convincing & builds to a satisfying level of menace. Tedious, overly-hostile bickering about parapsychology drags down middle third.
Knowing the context behind how this originally aired makes this so much more fun to watch. Wish i could have seen it in "real-time."
Genuinely spooky and nostalgic. The little micro sightings will get you good.
Very cheesy but I enjoyed this, especially the “live tv” of it all
Extremely well made and effectively executed modern day “War of the Worlds”. Way ahead of its time, this must have been amazing to see live
It’s fun. It would’ve been amazing to be a kid in 1992 watching it “live.”
Quite a bit dated, but groundbreaking "found footage"-esque which avoids starring tweens, teens, and/or adults acting like the former.
Insane to pull something like this off and terrify this small town in the process.
