Although Zygon is a low budget B film, I actually enjoyed the film quite a bit. What was lacking in effects was made up for in acting and writing, which was especially good for a direct to DVD film.

I like to think of this as an even more sexual Torchwood, with explicit nudity right from the start, and much more gory.

While I appreciate the film as a Doctor Who die hard, this film would also be well enjoyed by any fans of sci if or B films, given that not a lot of background knowledge on the Zygons is needed to view the film (although I would recommend viewing Cyberon beforehand for background on Lauren Anderson).

What was a little disappointing as a Doctor Who fan was the very brief sight of Torlakhl (one of the Zygons) in his true form. I did however prefer the device in which the Zygons made it possible to convert themselves over the original pods in Terror of the Zygons.

Another issue was getting past some of the sex, but the way that it was used I believe to be practical. It helped to show how far into the human persona Michael Kirkwood adopted was, given that it is unlikely that a Zygon would have intercourse with another species otherwise. It was also amusing to see Lauren in the body of a man sleeping with a woman, trying not to blow her cover.

And for a B film, the gore was much more convincing than one would expect. From sloth throats to brains splattered on the wall, the blood wasn't over used and seemed convincing enough (it honestly caught me off guard after seeing Doctor Who spinoffs such as War Time, where the blood was ridiculously fake).

Overall, the film is a great addition to the Doctor Who universe, and an above average B film which can be loved by anyone (except for children, dear lord never allow a child to see this).
