Watch Time Walker For Free

Too much of everything

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Another cornball movie nowadays known only because it got riffed on "Mystery Science Theater 3000". "Time Walker" is not atrocious in the vein of "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians", but it's still pretty laughable. A muddled story of a sarcophagus containing a mummy that wasn't even human to begin with. If you ask me, it's best to leave the sarcophagi in the ground; removing them smacks of imperialism. As for MST3K's presentation, it was great to hear Joel, Servo and Crow trashing the movie (the references include the Monkees, "Funny Girl" and "Happy Days").Basically, you'll enjoy the version that gets shown in the Satellite of Love. Don't watch the movie on its own.For the record, Bill Mumy - whose last name rhymes with roomy, not mummy - has a band.

This is in fact one of the dumbest movies ever featured on "Mystery Science Theater 3000". The main problem with this film is that there is no reason in the least for the mummy to be an alien. When you finally see him turn into him (or take off his wraps?) it's a horribly done stereotypical alien costume. The strangest thing is that the alien mummy is said not to want to hurt anyone. It just wants the crystals so it can go back home. We then see the mummy alien brutally kill a guy who posed no threat to him.Why does he get away with that? And more importantly, why does that guy get teleported away with the alien? Everything about this is just plain stupid, even the very end where the guy burns his hand for no reason. None of this builds up to anything. To make things even worse, there are these stupid mummy puns throughout the whole movie. They make the whole mummy/daddy joke. I can't believe this was made in 1982. It looks more like it was made in the 1960's! I guess there always will be a place for modern B-movies. *

A combination of your classic Mummy movie mixed with your typical 80's slasher fare.Throw an alien in to the mix and you get Time walker.The execution wasn't anything new but I thought the genre melding plot was pretty original.Not a bad movie IMO.Above average 80's semi slasher,semi sci-fi movie.Ben Murphy was fine as the lead.The rest of the acting was so so.But if your a fan of 80's horror movies like me,especially slasher movies,then you should have no problem looking past that.I wonder what the planned sequel was.They must have had one in mind since they ended it with that ambiguous to be continued ending.

Boy, I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid. So naturally, I almost remembered nothing of it. Except for the fact that it somehow left a strange impression on me, and a dormant urge to some day revisit it. That urge awakened recently when I found this obscure gem on an old ex-rental tape, so this was my chance to re-watch it. As to be expected, this is by no means a 'good' movie. Far from, probably. But it still remains a curious and strange gem.A mummy gets dug up in King Tut's tomb and transferred to an American University. A student finds 5 diamonds hidden in the sarcophagus and steals them. The next day, the mummy is gone too. I'll just stop describing the story now. But if you want to know how a mummy, ancient diamonds, green dust that turns into flesh-devouring fungus, a blue-skinned alien with big black eyes and a college campus tie in all together, then you might want to consider watching TIME WALKER. But be warned, most people might generally classify this as a bad movie, and I don't even have much arguments to compete with that. The acting is just tolerable and the directing isn't top notch either. What had me chuckling most, were many inserted reaction shots of certain actors, just standing there looking for a second, not saying anything, or just giving a short stupid reply. But here's an interesting contradiction: Not much really happens in this movie, but still there's a lot going on (just remember the previous things I mentioned). Everything ties in together nicely, but it's all very predictable. The mummy prowling the campus provides a couple of nice and creepy shots, but his green-colored POV vision was a bit cheesy. Of course he kills a couple of people (not just randomly, I might add), but the kills themselves aren't much to write home about. On the other hand, the murderous mummy encounters a topless female student on one of his escapades and most of his kills are filmed in shocking slow-motion. The movie builds up towards a nice twist-conclusion too, but sadly when you know the tagline to this movie, or just take a glimpse at the front or back cover art, you already know what's going to happen. Also, the story severely lacks a climax at the end.TIME WALKER tries really hard, remains an offbeat, weird gem, but in the end doesn't succeed in what it sets out to do. There's plenty of interesting elements, but they are rigged together in a below average sci-fi/horror flick with a conclusion that leaves a lot to be desired. Given the nostalgia feelings I treasure for this one, it is with grief I have to flunk this baby. But don't let that discourage you to check it out if you should ever stumble upon it. And then come around some day and blame me for having watched a bad movie.
