Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

AllNewSux Pretty damn good and without question the best of the Aztec Mummy series. Like all monster movies, you wish there was more of the namesake mummy. If the translations presented here are accurate (I speak some Spanish, but I'm not fluent) then the dialogue in this film comes across as more intellectual than the average low budget horror movie. The story of the Bat stealing the Aztec treasure is carried throughout all three films. The scenes with the Aztec ceremony and the hypnosis would definitely be considered "padding" within this plot line. That's the main problem with many horror films of the era is that they occasionally commit the cardinal sin of boredom. Regardless, overall the score is excellent and the mummy looks great so I would consider this an above average film.

mikelmike77 This so called horror film was cut many times to make other so called horror films that were brought to the U.S. by K.Gordon Murray , who translated a few low budget Mexican horror films , like some of the El Santo films and then sold them to the drive- in circuit in the 60s .The ''Angel'' who is the hero of this film , gets his arse kicked throughout the film . He never wins a fight and the mummy saves them all in the end , but its a real bad/good gem in my book .Between the bad dubbing , the bad acting and the bad make-up , there are more than a few laughs to make it a somewhat pleasurable waste of time , so give it a try if you've some time to kill , there are worse ways to waste time !!

Woodyanders Nice guy hypnotist Dr. Eduardo Almada (a solid and likable performance by Roman Guy) discovers that his fiancé Flora (a charming portrayal by the fetching Rosa Arenas) is the reincarnation of an ancient Aztec maiden who was put to death for loving Aztec warrior Popoca. Almada incurs the wrath of the Aztec mummy Popoca (brawny behemoth Angel Di Stefani) after he desecrates Popca's tomb by removing valuable jewelry from it. Director Rafael Portillo, working from a colorful and imaginative script by Alfredo Salazar and Guillermo Calderon, relates the engrossing story at a steady pace, creates and sustains a good deal of spooky atmosphere (a lengthy flashback ritual sequence is especially creepy and effective), and blends both horror and film noir crime thriller elements into an entertaining whole. This film further benefits from sound acting by an enthusiastic cast: Guy and Arenas are appealing leads, Luis Aceves Castaneda makes for a suitably dastardly villain as nefarious criminal mastermind the Bat (who of course wants to get his grubby hands on the mummy's treasure), and Crox Alvarado provides amusing comic relief as Almada's bumbling cowardly assistant Pinacate. The hulking, roaring, shambling mummy doesn't pop up until the last third of the movie, but he still makes a strong impression as a genuinely frightening and dangerous monster just the same. Enrique Wallace's stark black and white cinematography makes nifty use of fades and dissolves. Antonio Diaz Conde's moody and dramatic score likewise does the shivery trick. The moldy old ruins and fog-shrouded pyramid sets add considerably to the overall eerie tone. A fun fright flick.

newportbosco This is the find of the year (2006), a film that was on EVERYBODY'S lost list. One story even had Jerry Warren hacking up the original negative for one of his edit bay epics. Now you can buy it for bargain prices. THE AZTEC MUMMY looks really great on the new three disc set THE AZTEC MUMMY COLLECTION (BCI),and the remastering is nearly perfect. The exterior parts with the mummy are done on real Mexican ruins and look sensational. You get a feel for the SIZE of the buildings, their age. The flashbacks star a native dance troupe, and the way that THEY recreated their heritage as of the 50's. Some of them are so proud to be in a REAL MOVIE that they grin right into the camera. I like that.Tastes have moved on since then, and what they regarded as totally authentic seem dated now, but don't be too fast to throw it over. The group worked long and hard to get the routines down, and are on par with a lot of the dance troupes that you see on Ed Sullivan reruns. This is also how Mexicans saw their own culture, and as such should not be taken too lightly. And the background instrumental grows on you in a world music sort of way. The plot has something to do with returning a beautiful lady (Rosita Arenas) by hypnosis to her past to locate an Aztec breastplate proving the existence of previous lives. There's a masked super villain who wants the breastplate for his own nefarious ends, a cowardly second banana, car chases, gun battles, you know: something for the whole family. You also get the essential plot of Apocalypto stripped down to less then one reel and without the blood and guts that would give the kiddies nightmares..and APOCALYPTO doesn't have an evil masked doctor in it, or policemen with machine guns. When the Aztec Mummy finally decides to get up and get moving, the scenes are on par with anything Universal came up with in later Mummy movies. Very effective. A lost movie saved from the ashes
