A poor retread
5 May 2023
My review was written in January 1990 after watching the movie on RCA/Columbia video cassette.

Title is an unfortunate excuse to recycle stock footage from earlier Roger Corman films, using inadequate special effects to integrate new characters and scenes.

Randy Josselyn plays the title character, who picks up a dangerous video at his local store to while away the time babysitting for young sister Jessica Puscas.

An evil Lord Chroma (played by Chuck Kovacic) magically kidnaps Sis though the tv set to steal her "color" for his world. Josselyn pursues and through ultimatte effects is integrated into scenes from Corman's 1983 Vince Edwards-starrer "Space Raiders" (which itself was a recycling of stock footage from "Battle Beyond the Stars").

Bo Svenson makes a pointless guest appearance as Kor the Conqueror. Other characters are a waste of time and include a furry Glitch (Don Sparks who leads Josselyn through an unattractive landscape of static. Stretched-out end credits attempt to pad the program to feature length.
