Customer Reviews of Doctor Who - The Curse of Fenric (Episode 158)
a great doctor who... Sylvester McCoy is probably my favorite doctor, so i'm a little biased on this one. I believe The Curse of Fenric and Ghostlight to be to of the quintessential doctor who episodes ever. Both of them invite repeated viewings. This dvd version is awesome being 2 discs full of extras and is definitly worth picking up even if you already own the vhs like i did. The Curse of Fenric is high quality all around, but i thought the music especially good. I would recommend the soundtrack to anyone who likes this episode also.
Downright Awful
Alright. I have seen only a few of the Sylvester McCoy era episodes of Doctor Who. A few of them were okay ("Dragonfire", "Silver Nemesus") and others were dowright awful ("Paradise Towers", and whateveer that Bannermen thing was). Anyways, this story falls into the second of these two categories. The story line is slow and pedantic, and extremely uninteresting. I had never seen the original broadcast of this episode, but as I understand, it was far worse. The attempt to create a genuinely macabre atmosphere bears merit, but lacks in subtlety. As a previous reviewer noted, in all the scenes where there is supposed to be this eerie mist surrounding the area, the sky is bright blue and the sun is shining in the background. Now, I know British weather can be weird, but this appears to be more of an effect created by someone with a firhose pointed in the air. The musical score 9incidental music) is terrible as well. In the end, if you're new to Dr. Who, spend your money elsewhere. Try "The Stone of Blood", or "The Talons of Weng Chiang", (two of my all-time favorites), or any other Tom Naker, John Pertwee, or even Peter Davison episode. Yes, the effects are cheeiser, but the music, and the acting is much better.
Hi! I MAKE NO SENSE!!...
That's what this DVD with a SPECIAL EDITION of THE CURSE OF FENRIC should be called...
CHEESY...OVERWRITTEN...BORING...and why is the sound so bad?
ACE is the best thing about the SYLVESTOR MCCOY episodes...cuz he certainly isn't...just DREADFUL and so re-written that the character of DOCTOR WHO becomes CONTRIVED and conventional which was something it never was before. The SYLVESTOR MCCOY years took all the fun out of DOCTOR WHO and turn it into drivel. This episode is TERRIBLE.
It makes no sense...is badly edited and ridiculously over plotted. WHO CARES?!! Even DOCTOR WHO himself would not watch this eyesore!!
