Doctor Who
15x04 Horror of Fang Rock Part Four
Sometimes I watch a Who story and think “this is great ‘n’ all, but it would also make a great standalone movie.” Fang Rock is one of those times — it would have so much potential repurposed as a low-budget, creepy, claustrophobic horror movie. That’s partly why it’s perfect for classic Who too — no futile attempts to punch above its weight (though the new effects do help in that regard); just some nicely-done confined lighthouse sets and a bunch of well-sketched and -performed characters. And a total bloodbath of a finale.
