My quick rating - 5.6/10. Surprisingly effective low-budget sci-fi flick from the mid-80s. The old-time jumpers chasing zombies story. Ok, so it is actually an original idea that was explored here. A brief 76 minutes that fly by since the action is fairly non-stop. Also, I had completely forgotten that a very early Helen Hunt is our heroine in this one, next to Jack Deth, played by Tim Thomerson. For its time, it actually holds up still. Synopsis:
"Angel City trooper Jack Deth is sent back in time from 2247 to 1985 L.A. to inhabit the body of his ancestor. Deth's assignment is to find his archenemy, Whistler, who turns people into zombies, before the fiend is able to kill all the ancestors of the future's governing council."
