7/10
Lost In The Dark Dimension!
8 November 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Chased by Sandmen, Logan - with Rem's help - penetrates a force-field surrounding a bunker-like structure set into a hill. Logan deactivates the minefield beyond, making it safe for them to enter. They find an underground complex, in which lives the beautiful Lisa, with two comical-looking robots - Friend and Nanny - for company. While Francis fumes outside, Lisa falls for Logan, and comes to see Jessica as a threat to her happiness. Lisa has been imprisoned because she was perceived as a threat to Mankind - she has phenomenal psychic powers...

A variant on 'Forbidden Planet'. Lisa Eilbacher plays the naive young woman; first seen in Shirley Temple pigtails, she then dresses provocatively to attract Logan's eye. Hard to tell but for a moment I thought she had the hots for Jessica too. Were this to be made now, the limitless erotic possibilities could certainly be exploited. 'Friend' looks like one of the Cylons from the original 'Battlestar Galactica', then a year away. Not bad, but ending's a letdown, though.
