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.

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 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 Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall A riotously dry sense of humour mixes with full on nuttiness in this hilarious British time-travel comedy. Rated: 4/5 Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Martin Unsworth Starburst Time Travel is Dangerous! is a low-key (and budget!) movie that punches well above its weight thanks to its eclectic cast and sharp script. Rated: 4/5 Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Simon Thompson Battle Royale With Cheese Overall Time Travel Is Dangerous, despite a few visual flourishes here and there, is an unfunny, trite, and dull affair which didn’t even come close to meeting my personal two laughs minimum criteria for a comedy.
