What a little B-movie gem from the mid-80’s. This was a blast. I had no idea it even existed until recently and super glad I finally got to see it. The plot revolves involves cops who travel through time to try and catch a bad guy, zombies, a sunken Los Angeles due to a giant earth quake, and a Santa’s helper girl who helps our hero defeat the bad guys. If this sounds amazing then… you’re exactly right.
The script is surprisingly clever, the dialogue punchy and quotable, the low budget used as an asset, and actors who know just how to play it tongue in cheek. The music is particularly impressive in this. Love all the deep synth tones and some catchy melodies. This is like a sped-up version of something John Carpenter would have done from the era. Great stuff.
