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.

Phil Hoad Guardian 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 Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Kimberley Jones 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. Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Daniel M. Kimmel North Shore Movies For my novel Time on My Hands, I set out to spoof every cliché of the time travel story. The makers of TIME TRAVEL IS DANGEROUS have come up with something I didn’t think of: having a time machine would be handy if you owned a shop selling vintage items. Rated: 3/5 Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming Time Travel is Dangerous is British comedy at its finest. It’s nonsensical in all the right ways and is guaranteed to be a great time for anyone who watches. Rated: 4/5 Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film A very effective piece of low budget storytelling. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Tom Atkinson Flickering Myth With its low-budget ingenuity, knowing winks to classic British sci-fi, and a genuine affection for its characters and setting, Time Travel Is Dangerous! feels like the kind of film destined for cult status. Rated: 4/5 Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Pistol P This is such a light, refreshing English comedy that is a real breath of fresh air considering some of the other films that are out at the same time as this. I’m a real big fan of Monty Python and this has real Python/Gilliam influences oozing through its indie veins! A must watch for all concerned. The cast is fantastic, storyline funny and Ruth and Megan are naturals. Can’t wait to visit their shop in real life and see what treasures they have hacked from the past!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Read all reviews
