Watch That Space

About This Movie

So, 'Watch That Space' is this intriguing piece from 1978, presented by Colin Welland. It’s not your usual film fare, more like a training video, but there’s something oddly captivating about its stark, no-frills approach. The pacing is slow, methodical, which really drives home the seriousness of the subject matter—safety in confined spaces. It’s a slice of life from the late 70s, showcasing practical effects and real-life scenarios that feel raw and unvarnished. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as you can almost feel the claustrophobia creeping in. It’s distinctive, really, because it’s less about entertainment and more about education, making you think about safety in a way that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

Finding 'Watch That Space' on home video is a bit of a challenge; it’s not widely circulated, and many collectors are unaware of its existence. Originally released on VHS, it has since become something of a curiosity, appealing to those interested in safety training materials or educational films from the 70s. The lack of available formats contributes to its scarcity, making it a niche but interesting piece for collectors who appreciate the lesser-known works of that era.
