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.

This movie. I have no words. Its very amateur. The camera angles are bad. The obvious use of green screen EVERYWHERE is obvious. And where it was used, it was poorly done. The story line made zero sense. Nothing was explained. Many times the music and effects over powered the voices of the actors. The acting was less than spectacular. It was very over done and the script was poorly written. Half the things the dude said didn't make any sense to me or my mother whatsoever. All in all, it was a very unappealing movie. I mean, If you like watching bad movies and pointing all the bad things out, by all means, have at it. But to me, it was excruciatingly painful. And i love pointing things out. SO yeah. Avoid this movie at all costs. You have been warned.

Clockmaker. More like Crapmaker.This is TRULY awful. I'm all for undemanding fun for kids and adults alike but please, this would insult the intelligence of a two year old.Low production budgets, fine. Brain dead script not fine.There is so much wrong with this film that it's impossible to point out individual flaws.But if I have to then why if computers were invented years early does everything look so bloody awful, they obviously didn't have any CAD programs.Also a computer manual doesn't tell you how to make micro chips or capacitors etc etc.Give a chimp a pocket watch and he won't go on to invent an i-pod. Complete crap.Do not spend anytime watching this dreck.You have been warned...

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.
