The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

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.

Time Walker (1982) * 1/2 (out of 4)King Tut's tomb is open and inside a mummy is discovered. The mummy is taken back to a college campus where Professor McCadden (Ben Murphy) tries to find out more history about it but one student steals six jewels that were located inside the tomb. This here brings the mummy back to life and it sets out for revenge but there's a twist to his story.TIME WALKER isn't a very memorable movie, although there are a few interesting ideas scattered throughout its running time. The film's biggest problem is the fact that it's rather tame and really doesn't fit what a horror film from this era was about. There's a brief bit of nudity and some mild violence but there's certainly nothing overly memorable here. I will say that the mummy looks pretty good, although he certainly needed more action.The performances aren't the greatest either but they're not nearly as bad as they could have been. The best thing going for the film is the fact that the twist involves the mummy actually being an alien. This is a rather interesting idea and it's really too bad that the entire screenplay wasn't built around this idea. The deal with the stolen jewels wasn't all that original but the alien twist is something that works but sadly it happens at the end of the picture.TIME WALKER is of mild interest to fans of mummy movies but others will want to avoid.

My sister and I saw this movie in the theatre, and we and the other half dozen people agreed never to admit we were there or saw each other. As another reviewer said, this movie stinks out loud. I'm really sorry I missed it on MST3K.Others have recapped the plot, so I won't bother. I believe a good writer and cast could have saved it. Unfortunately, it had neither. We spent a good bit of the movie laughing, even though it is not a comedy. I think the best thing that can be said about the acting is that I don't see how these people said their lines with straight faces. Maybe they're better actors than I thought.*SPOILER" (?) A word about the crystals-as the mummy collected them, he put them on a small triangular board, rather like a section of a Chinese checker board. We decided it was an old table game from a Denny's. Also, the phrase "Don't x-ray it!" has become a running joke in our family.

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.
