Abducted by the Daloids (2005)

aka Abducted by the Daleks

How bad is it? 7
How unintentionally bad is it? 5
How enjoyably bad is it? 6


Soft-core porn science fiction was sort of my jam in the 1970's, when I was too young to watch it legally; it had not improved any in the 30 years before this was made. The film is only known because the BBC sued them for copyright infringement (hence the name change on the copy I found) and that has made it quite hard to find. After a party, a car full of women hit someone/something on the road and end up investigating - in the woods in high heels, and where a serial killer's been known to hunt, no less - before being abducted by aliens straight out of "Dr. Who." It's a clever idea, really, to do a low budget spoof of something low budget to begin with, but there's no Doctor character and even the daleks themselves range from rather passable to quite poor; other than having each made from what was available and by different people, it's hard to know how unintentional the shoddiness is. The daleks insist on interrogating their captives in the nude, for reasons not adequately explored and it's said that their plan is to impregnate them, though how isn't clear and the closest they get is plunger-arm to breast. Less than an hour long, it runs out of steam quickly.
