Doctor Who: Paradise Towers

1987 · 98 min

A garish, creaky dystopian tower block where colour-coded gangs and murderous cleaners make for knowingly silly, oddly sinister fun.

Overview: The Doctor and Mel visit Paradise Towers, a residential complex that promises a peaceful life to its residents. However, the establishment is far from what its name suggests: A conflict persists among the Kangs, humanesque multicolour beings who gather in opposing gangs based on which colour of the rainbow they bear; killer cleaning robots prowl the halls, and a secret in the complex's basement poses the greatest threat of all.
How it feels: Campy, satirical, eerie and absurd. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Class, survival, violence, corruption
Content: Mild violence and gore. No sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
