Leofwine_draca My second made-for-kids shot-in-Romania slice of junk following on from LITTLE GHOST. This one's another straight-to-video effort about a couple of kids who get involved with a weird old man who just so happens to have a time machine in his apartment. What unfolds is an adventure in which the kids run around a lot while the viewer suffers the effects that only a very poor and dated production can bring.Nothing screams dated like a film made in the late 1990s and indeed CLOCKMAKERS is a very dated film. The cheesy CGI effects probably date it the worst, but the mannered acting and exaggerated performances really hurt it too. At least LITTLE GHOST was fun in a cheesy, CASPER rip-off kind of way, whereas CLOCKMAKERS is just inane. Attempts to bring to life the 19th century are quite woeful and overall this is on par with a cheap TV episode of a long forgotten kid's show. I notice once again a link to Full Moon Entertainment with writer Neal Marshall Stevens (here hiding under a pseudonym) contributing the script.

tismelynellarj I just rented this from Redbox. I love it when they find obscure moves from 10 or more years ago to add to the bunch.Noooo, this is not a great movie. But considering the budget, it's acceptable. One of those Afterschool Specials.It teaches good lessons for KIDS and kids may not be the ones reviewing it. I am over 50, but can see the wisdom over substance.Don't be so nosy, don't touch stuff that is not yours, keep your wits about you and use your noggin to get out of the mess you caused.Just make sure you watch it with your Dr. Who glasses on. LMAO.Have fun!

jaxxfox Let's get this one on the bottom 100 list as a tribute to its badness. It has everything, cheap special effects, a flimsy plot (That's actually very believable if you happen to be 12 years old) and WAY over-the-top acting. Yep, this movie has it all. The only thing missing is a bad dub for Chinese.Wow, 10 line minimum comment line? OK.. Here goes. The child actors actually do a good job with what they've been given for an excuse for a script, however it's actually the adults in the screenplay that camp it up to the point of stinkdom on the level of a nursing home after a cabbage dinner. ....*Flicks cigar* Build me a computer!

rduchmann Three slum kids snoop in apartment of eccentric clockmaker neighbor and manage to screw up the space-time continuum, so they have to go back in time to 19th century and set things right. Basic premise, that a computer manual accidentally lost in 1880 would lead to a premature electronic revolution and the triumph of fascism, seems more than slightly far-fetched. (If you lost a pocket calculator among a group of Neandertals, would they invent double-entry bookkeeping?) Filmed in Bucharest, with North American leads. Heroine Katie Johnston looks about 15 but quite mature to be hanging around with the two 12-ish boys, but will certainly give younger male SF fans something to check out. Written by frequent Full Moon scripter Benjamin Carr.
