Time Walker Trailers

From deep within the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, Professor Douglas McCadden ships the coffin of Ankh-Vanharis to the California Institute of Sciences where X-rays reveal five diamond-like crystals hidden within the coffin. Technician Peter Sharpe steals the crystals but doesn't notice that the powerful X-ray has revived a green fungus. When the coffin is opened at a university press conference, the reporters uncover more than they bargained for. The mummy has disappeared... and the Time Walker is alive again!

What a turkey if you see when it was made, in the middle of the slasher era and this has really nothing to offer, the effects used when people touches the fungus is ridiculous and the mummy itself didn't look scary at all, and towards the end when the mummy shows it's real face you will laugh again. Nevertheless, it got some names in it that were famous back then, Ben Murphy (Prof. Douglas McCadden) came from the series Alias Smith and Jones (1971-1973) and went further to Gemini Man (1976). Nina Axelrod (Susie Fuller) is more common towards horror buffs due her role in Critters 3 (1991) and the blockbuster Cobra (1986). Kevin Brophy (Peter Sharpe) can be seen in Hell Night (1981) one year earlier than this flick together with Linda Blair.But it fails due the script itself. The mummy do attacks but really in a stupid way. And the editing itself is roughly done with full of mistakes. When a girl is running in corridors you see the POV from the mummy running behind her but when they shoot before the girls you can't see any mummy running behind her. And there is even a microphone to spot. There is one shot with a small nudity and the shower scene also looked laughable. But the movie never moves further and due some really bad acting it becomes a turkey. Easy to see that it was a low budget B-flick. Maybe for some it's a collectible due the cheesy situations but many will find it a waist of time. Gore 1/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

I've probably seen more of this from the Best Brains' treatment than of the film in its own,un-touched product,but what I saw of it un-touched,I can honestly say that it's the kind of movie that would ELICIT a wise-ass,ripping reaction from any viewer.A multi-millenia aged Mummy is un-earthed and finds its way onto an un-specific college campus,where it proceeds to terrorize the denizens searching for jewels that have been stolen from it. Of course,there are ulterior reasons for the Mummy's quest and,as per any show of this ilk,there are "experts" and at least one attractive young lady who are in on(or in the way of)the pursuit.Featuring a fading Ben Murphy("Alias Smith and JOnes" and the short-lived '80s big idea show "Lottery!"),veteran character actors Kevin Brophy and Nina Aexlrod and a then-unknown model-actress named Shari Belafonte,not to mention a slough of cheap special effects(even for 1982),this movie probably doesn't need any "extra" stuff,but you might want it anyway.

I would like to say that this film was quite a good movie however i am somewhat disappointed with the fact that in ended saying to be continued but a sequel was never made i mean i know the film was old and probably done on a low budget but i think it is still worthy of show in what happens next and I'm sure their are some people out their that would agree with me and probably a lot that wont but like i say each to their own i do respect other peoples opinions on the film as i hope people will respect what i have written reguarding this sci-fi movie. i would also recommend watching the movie within the rock and even though its an old one its good for gore fans so try and see it.

A professor gets ready to unveil a mummy to the media, only to have it not be in the sarcophagus when they open it. It appears the mummy is on the move because a X-ray tech zapped the thing with too big a large a dose. Plus, said tech stole some transmitter crystals hidden in a secret compartment of the mummy's coffin and he wants those back because it turns out this ain't no mummy! It is actually an alien life form that landed in Egypt 3,000 years ago, spread its deadly mold to Tutankhamen and then promptly died. Also, they have a fun cast including Ben Murphy as the Prof, Darwin Joston as a cop, Austin Stoker as a doctor and James Karen as the sneaky head of the school. Apparently this movie got the MST3K treatment at some point but I actually enjoyed it as a stand alone b-movie. It ain't gonna change the world but I was never bored. Quite possibly the only film to feature a mummified alien peeping tom. Jason (FLESH GORDON) Williams co-produced, provided the story and has a small cameo.
