Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

AKA "Terror From the Year 5000", shown on "Chiller Theater" back in the early 1970s... As kids, we called this the "Chicken Lady" movie because we thought the mutant Future Womans shrieks sounded like some kind of chicken (?)... Hey, but the name stuck...for us, anyway...Almost 35 years later and I still recall it as the single scariest *bleeping* movie I ever saw! I Picked up a DVD copy online to watch with my kids... of course now this thing is one giant wheel of CHEESE compared with modern day CGI gorefests and bloodbath flicks. And it is no longer "scary" to me at all; my kids laughed uncontrollably every time the Future Woman jumped out and fried someone with those radioactive Lee Press-On Nails! BUT...For my $$$ still rather see 100 movies like this than drek like "The Hills Have Eyes","The Devils Rejects" or "Saw"...Rather odd to notice now - as an adult - that Salome Jens, aka Future Woman, was ONE HOT BABE without that mutant makeup job!Hellllllllllooooooooooo Nurse Salome!

Scientests living in rural Florida build a teleportation device that brings out a freaky woman from the year 5000 A.D.Admittedly Terror from the Year 5000 is a completely hokey low-budgeter, but it's one of those old drive-in flicks that has an unintentionally funny edge that makes it a riot of a watch. The effects are all very low budget, after all our villain is a weird screeching woman in a sequined suit! The cast is OK, but everything else is a bit silly!Still those that enjoy old schlock flicks will find it a decent laugh.** out of ****

The movies title is a bit misleading in that there isn't much terror in this movie. In fact, there isn't much of anything going on till the last maybe 20 minutes of this flick. A museum curator gets a mysterious statue and is asked to test it for its age. Somehow he finds out it comes from the future. I don't know if I am right on this point, but I don't believe you can tell if something comes from the future...only how old something is. Well, he also finds out it is highly radioactive so he goes to this professor's house where the statue came from. There the professor and his extremely stupid assistant are doing, of course, time travel experiments. Since the statue was radioactive the professor wants to stop the experiments for the time being, but the stupid assistant wants to keep going. His fiancé eventually goes with the curator and the assistant summons a mutant from the year 5000, which kills people for no reason and then convinces the assistant to go with her to the year 5000 and help out their people. She steals a nurse's face before this and uses it as a mask as she is a bit mutated. All in all a pretty lousy sci-fi flick that has so many inaccuracies it is pathetic.

This movie try's to frighten you and spook you and OH MY GOD..LOOK OUT FOR THOSE NAILS!! She hypnotizes her victims with her shiny new press on nails...WHAT?? It's just plain pretty bad, but I'd have to say again that it's so bad that it's...GOOD. There is one scene that brings a little chill when the psycho killer from the future is marching(?) through time and spewing this bizarre shriek that's..actually.. kind of spooky. But this is a short scene and soon you're back to some serious cheapness. It's the kind of 50's sci-fi cheapness that makes this film pass over the border from "just a bad movie" to "so bad it's good/funny/culty". If you want to know how I can say this see my review on "The Amazing Colossal Man".
