Prof. Erling and his financial backer Victor build a prototype time machine to snatch objects from the past. Latest find, a statuette, radiometrically dates to 5200 AD! When this draws colleague Richard Hedges to the island lab, Erling reveals that 20th-century objects put in the machine seem to be "traded" for analogous future objects by intelligent life.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

If you look past all the plot holes and things that just don't make sense,you still have a terrible movie here. A guy has invented a machine that can send things to the future and apparently future people have these machines and they send stuff back. One guy decides to send his phi beta kappa key into the future(because they are very unimportant) and the future sends back a coin asking for help.When a woman from the future comes through the machine she makes it clear that she can read Greek yet she has no clue what a phi beta kappa key is.The only good thing is that people in the future can rip off a persons face and use it as their own,brilliant.

****SPOILERS**** It's not just the mutant human beings of the year 5200 AD that need to be saved but those of us watching this turkey that takes the cake in being one of the worst horror or anything else movie ever released. I have to say that Salome Jens in her motion film debut is as hot as Kryptonite as the woman from the future when she takes on the appearance of the nurse that's sent to the off shore Florida island to care for the stricken from radiation Victor, John Stratton, whom she in fact infected with that deadly illness. It's Victor who played fast and loose with his girlfriend Claire, Joyce Holden, father Prof. Howard Lering's, Frederic Down's, time machine that brought this deadly calamity upon himself.As for Salome or the woman from the future her task was to bring the at first young and viral Victor back to the future to do, in finding no other word to call it, stud duty to replenish the by then dying off human race.You see after thousands of years of nuclear testing the radiation of those atomic teats has mutated the human DNA causing mutations that got to the point where one out of five babies being born were seriously defected and mutated. Now Solome or future women in her being brought back to the year 1958, the year that the film was released, was or is going to change all that.****SPOILERS*** Miss. Jens, a gem of a woman, was seen throughout the entire movie, not counting her impersonation of a nurse, in a tight fitting and sexy looking jumpsuit covered with what looked like dozens of shiny rhinestones who's reflection of whatever light was available made it difficult to see her. In fact Solome was so obviously strange and sinister looking that it was unusual that no one in the cast realized what she was really up to until, for Victor, it was too late. One of Salome's victims was the island handy man Angelo, Fred Harrick, who in what seemed like him trying to pick her up and make conversation with her ended up being radiated to death instead. The final scenes had Victor finally realized that he's being used by Solome, who hypnotized him, to do her not his bidding and caused him to revolt against her and finally put an end to all this back and forth to the future hysterics.

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.
