3/4
It's a delight to see actors and directors who are attached to one memorable cult film or another talking about how much it means to them that audiences have connected with these outcast movies. Go to Full Review

This surface level documentary still delves deep enough to entertain with endless interviews, but some fans looking for more obscure, drive-in discoveries may not find enough new info. Go to Full Review

B-
Although Time Warp's subject matter is endlessly intriguing, intermittently the series stalls and sputters due to "talking-head" syndrome. Frankly, it would've benefited from digging a little deeper into the cult film ouvre. Go to Full Review
Diane Pershing Malibu Times 05/15/2020
...an engaging, if somewhat repetitive, documentary featuring a bunch of talking heads and wonderful film clips from all those movies that drew crowds of fans... Go to Full Review

While it's far from any kind of complex critical analysis, it does cover most of the bases. Plus it's great fun. Go to Full Review

Brad P 02/26/2023 This surface level documentary still delves deep enough to entertain with endless interviews, but some fans looking for more obscure, drive-in discoveries may not find enough new info. See more dave s 02/18/2022 Time Warp: The Greatest Cult Classics of All-Time Volume 1: Midnight Madness is an interesting documentary about…well, the title says it all and more. With a panel featuring John Waters, Joe Dante, and the seemingly misplaced Illeana Douglas and Kevin Pollak, the film consists of interviews with directors, actors, critics and a wide variety of others with their views on the definition of cult film (which is never comfortably nailed down), as well as clips from a handful of wildly popular cinematic oddities. As would be expected, the usual suspects (Rocky Horror Picture Show, Eraserhead, etc.) make an appearance, as well as other films (The Big Lebowski, Point Break, etc.) that may or may not meet the criteria. While the talking heads sometime get a little tiresome, it's still a lot of fun and, like the films it documents, is never dull. See more 05/01/2020 Fantastic documentary !! It includes so many of my favorites. I can't wait for the next installment !! See more 04/22/2020 So much fun for movies lovers. The people who made this understand what a cult is and by using tons of great scenes and interviews with great stars and directors (Rob Reiner, Pam Grier, Jeff Bridges, Fran Drescher, Michael McKean, John Waters and many more), you understand why such movies as "Freaks," "The Big Lebowski," and "Pink Flamingos" are such cult classics. There's a lot more in this chock-filled documentary and I can't wait for Parts 2 & 3 because horror is my favorite genre. See more 04/21/2020 A fascinating study of the nature of cult movies with insightful commentary by movie participants and critics, plus clips galore. See more Read all reviews
