Another black & white cinematic masterpiece of horror, Terror From the Year 5000 was released January 18, 1958. It's more like A Big Annoyance from the Year 5000 but I wasn't asked. Mike and the bots from Mystery Science Theatre 3000 were also underwhelmed.
A scientist has managed to invent a machine that can capture objects from the future. Of course, things don't go as planned and a mysterious woman comes through the machine with deadly consequences.
They try to build up suspense but it takes almost an hour into the movie before something exciting actually happens.
Lead actor Ward Costello appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation as Admiral Quinn. The evil woman shapeshifter was played by Salome Jens, who also starred as a shapeshifter in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
It was released as a double bill with The Screaming Skull, another horror movie classic! If you enjoy these low-budget C or D movies, you can't miss this one.
