If you loved Doctor Who: Voyage of the Damned, try Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by James Strong, and they both carry the cult, dread, mindfuck, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Mystery / Science Fiction / TV Movie / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Doctor Who: Voyage of the Damned, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead is

London rain on a double-decker’s chrome rail. Lady Christina slips a diamond between two seats. The bus lurches through storm clouds and lands on cracked earth under three suns, its passengers facing a swirling black sky of hornet-winged shadows. A 2009 one-off that still flies too low.
