Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Steve Myers Having sat through Legend of the Mummy 1, I thought this couldn't be any worse and I was right. It's equally terrible, though for different reasons. Once again we have a mummy on the loose, this time pursuing a group of archaeology students, and I hope they really are archaeology students, because they're certainly not actors, judging by the number of over the top and under the top performances given here. The mummy itself is marginally more horrific than in LOTM 1, though all the budget seems to have been spent on a scary face. It walks like it's advertising adult diapers and his is full. Does the story make sense? No. Some mumbo-jumbo about rain gods and bullying. Are the characters likable? No. Most are interchangeable cyphers, typical of most stalk and slash horror but not as well written. Plus points: one guy looks good in his tighty whities and the final heroine is not your typical busty blonde. But the horror (apart from the script) is generally off-screen. The mummy has a very large curved knife that is put to good use on wiping out the general population, but never gets a bloodstain on it. You hear a lot, but don't see much - perhaps something more visceral would have helped to take your mind off the tedium. A truly dreadful attempt at film-making.
Phil Thompson A colleague of mine got this for free with his DVD player. Even at that price, this movie represents a shockingly bad deal.It features tremendous acting skills - especially on the part of the female professor character, who seems to believe acting involves twitching your eyebrows in a deranged manner and nothing more.It also boasts outstanding sets. Actually it has just the one set, which I suspect is the producer's house, but is supposed to be a university. The room in which they put the mummy on display has a fireplace and a sofa in it, for crap's sake! I won't even go into the lacklustre special effects, because awful as they may be, they outshine every other aspect of the production.I cannot believe that this excrescence has lost its place in the Bottom 100. Get voting "1", people!
ianrthompson Don't bother with this film. I did and wish I didn't. I couldn't wait for it to end. It's unbelievable and just one of the worst films ever.I thought it would be at least entertaining but there was so much that could have been explored but was glossed over. The special effects were dire and the acting was wooden.This movie must have been made on a budget of less than $100. I can't see how the filmmakers could have spent any more on this.If your ambition is to see every mummy film ever made, then you'll probably watch it. If you want something scary for a night in, rent something else.
Big Squirrel 1st of all this film is called scream of the mummy, the mummy never screams, just makes a few gurgling noises.The acting is bad, I don't care about any of the people in it, I actually cheered when the annoying professor died.A large part of film seems to revolve around men in boxer shorts chatting."the last surviving priest" who can bring the mummy back looks like a 10 year old computer geek.The acting is the best part of the film.*as a side note this has absolutely nothing to do with the 1st mummy film, and Bram Stoker would probably be p1ssed off if he knew.
