The Time Shifters

The Time Shifters (1999) is a sci-fi thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Reporter Tom Merrick is working on a feature about the worst disasters of the twentieth century when he spots the same face in photographs from three different catastrophes — the Hindenburg, Hurricane Hugo, the Titanic. Casper Van Dien leads the cast, with Martin Sheen in a supporting role.

The trail leads Tom to a group of time tourists from the future, people who buy tickets to watch real disasters unfold as entertainment. Tom gets hold of their schedule. He knows the next event, the date, the location. What he didn't expect: his son will be inside the stadium when it happens. Now the tourists are hunting him.

Director Mario Azzopardi keeps the mechanics straightforward — this is a lean, efficient thriller that doesn't overcomplicate the time travel and delivers on its premise. Good genre entertainment for an 88-minute evening. Stream The Time Shifters (1999) online on iFILM.
