Real-life best friends Ruth Syratt and Megan Stevenson run a vintage bric-a-brac shop in Muswell Hill, London. Stumbling across a time machine, they embark on trips to the past to stock their emporium with quirky artefacts with no idea of the irreparable damage they're causing to the fabric of the universe. After one excursion too many, an interdimensional fissure appears and Ruth must free Megan from The Unreason, a monstrous netherworld where a convoluted game is played for all eternity.

If the resulting low-budget assemblage still bears these nametags and has the odd stray thread showing, it also has a persistent charm of its own.

Rated: 4/5

Austin Chronicle

The Eighties aesthetic runs throughout, and spiritually, Time Travel Is Dangerous! is something of an 8-bit charmer, full of practical effects and the anything-goes wackiness that engined action-comedies of the era.

Time Travel Is Dangerous is a low-fi, sci-fi romp that feels specially and expertly made for the lovers of smart, dry humor.

Cinemalogue

Despite a cool premise and a cheeky throwback vibe, this lo-fi British science-fiction comedy struggles to translate its abundant quirks into consistent laughs.

Common Sense Media

Anyone tired of cliches should steer clear of this time machine that captures the last few decades of relentlessly selfish characters. It lacks the heart, witty writing, and emotional connection the genre needs to make it work.

Rated: 2/5

Time Travel Is Dangerous but this film certainly is not, offering an absurdist look at a time travel machine in the wrong hands. A most excellent adventure.

An very silly and cheap Brit attempt to produce a Monty Pythonesque film but far from it.

I thoroughly enjoyed Time Travel is Dangerous. It’s full of laughs and has an excellent ensemble of actors. The special effects are fantastic for an indie film and the score is great too. Would definitely recommend watching!

Absolutely loved this film! Such a unique and fun storyline that also pays homage to North London, which is close to my heart. The imagination, creativity and love that has gone into this film is obvious to see. This sharp and witty script combined with some of the UK's most beloved actors - as well as two fabulous newcomers in the lead roles - make this an absolute must-see!
