Description

Something very strange has happened to the life of Jackie Granville - while driving in her car she suddenly finds herself transported forty years into the past! Glenn Miller tunes and wartime news bulletins drift from her radio. In total confusion she strays into a nearby field and witnesses a murder... In a state of shock she runs to her car, which on starting, mysteriously transports her back into the 1980's. On reporting the murder, investigations by the police find no trace of a body, but they do uncover records of a murder committed 40 years previously. The police dismiss Jackie's report as pure imagination.

After seeing this one on the shelf in the video store's horror section in the late 80's, I was at first impressed that this one got released on DVD and decided to give it a try. But this exercise in boredom deserved to stay buried in video obscurity; I would think even the most diehard horror fan alive would have a hard time staying awake during this one.

For what it's worth, the story: a girl goes driving in the Australian countryside and her car breaks down. Inexplicably, time starts moving backwards and she ends up in the 1940's, where she witnesses a goreless decapitation. She gets chased by the murderer, manages to start her car again, and zaps back to the present. Of course, no one will believe her story, so she begins a long, drawn-out process of investigating to prove it.

This is more of a lame mystery than a horror movie. There's no gore and no real scares. The killer (the Frenchman) is pretty sinister-looking when he does appear, but he has limited minutes here. Many scenes are too dark to make out details, which seems to be a combination of poor lighting when shooting, and the fact that no real remastering of the movie seems to have been done. I would think owning this on video (if you had to) would result in the same picture quality. The extras on the DVD's are weak as well.

So save your money. If you want cheesy 80's horror that's at least entertaining, try Pieces, Humanoids from the Deep, Mother's Day, My Bloody Valentine...jeez, pick a movie at random and it's bound to be better than Frenchman's Farm.
