| User ReviewJames CIn the Los Angeles of the future, the criminal mastermind Whistler controls weak minded people with the power of his mind, and only one man can stop him, Jack Deth. This SF movie by low-budget genius Charles Band is an absolute retro classic. The story has all the cliches you would expect (wisecracking hero, comedy side-kick, over-the-top villain, attractive love interest and a unbelievable storyline), but everything fits together perfectly. The result, though not a masterpiece by any means, is a fun romp that still stands up well 25 years after it was made. A cult hero was born when Tim Thomerson first entered the screen as Jack Deth! For all of you out there that want to see a great movie from the golden days of direct to video releases, you can't go far wrong in picking 'Trancers'. |
| User ReviewBenjamin GWHAT A CLASSIC SCIFI/ZOMBIE MOVIE EXCELLENT STUFF VERY CHEESY THOUGH |
| User ReviewGabriel Arthur PThis IS a classic. This film did not necessarily tread new territory in B-grade films, however, it DID set a new standard -- or "throw down the gauntlet" as it's said. You'd be missing out on film history if you chose not to watch it. It's genuinely one of those B-grade films that deserves an A-grade status. Do yourself a favor -- go back in time and watch this film. 5/5 |
| User ReviewMarcus MTerrific 80's low-budget sci-fi cult gem! |
| User ReviewMacDara CPure 80s sci-fi low budget cheese. This played daily on HBO when i was a kid. Co-starring an incredibly adorable pre oscar winning Helen Hunt. A highly recommended guilty pleasure of mine. |
| User ReviewJason DBest Sci-fi movie! This should be made for remake! It is time! |
| User ReviewDylan CThis film is amazingly good bad. I remember thinking how amazing Trooper Deth was when I was a kid. And to see him and Helen Hunt kill zombies was awesome! Now, it's just hysterical! Great kick-off to one of the weirdest sci-fi series of all time. |
| User ReviewBarry LDone on a budget of ten pence by the look of it. It is wonderful sci-fantasy escapism at its most mediocre but I adore it. |
| User ReviewSimon KDry hair IS for squids. and you can take that to the bank! |
| User ReviewRobert ROne of the coolest, easily interesting, sci-fi movies ever made. See it. |
