Review of The Bubble

The Bubble (1966)
Very Slow But Okay Twilight Zone-ish Film
9 May 2022
A young couple (the guy is Michael Cole) find themselves in a mysterious town.

I am guessing many retro sci-fi fans don't even know this film exists for the simple reason that the title - The Bubble - does not give any hint as to what genre of movie this is.

Hit and miss best describes this flick. Cole does some great acting, the backlot town looks creepy enough, the moody musical score fits in well and there are some very well done moments that Under The Dome (2013) may have pinched.

But this is a long movie that really needed to be a 25 minute or 50 minute TV episode of The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits. The ending is a bit average. Also, the 3D tricks (actors pointing things at the camera) are not welcome.

I would suggest a late night viewing when you are not feeling very demanding.
