This Mummy/Zombie Mash-Up Mostly Succeeds

A photographer and his bevy of models arrive in Egypt for a photoshoot and run into a treasure hunter who is searching for mummy gold. They all inadvertently revive the bandaged baddie who then proceeds to slaughter everyone, with the help of his equally undead minions.

The production went into the locations, the costumes and the special effects makeup sparing none for the cast, since no one acting in this film was by any means a familiar face. The story builds rather slowly to a climax that is equal parts gory and silly. But still, there is something charming about this movie and I rather enjoyed it. There is some decent and totally gratuitous gore in Dawn of the Mummy. Watch for actor George Peck, who plays the treasure-hunting Rick, as he overacts with extreme prejudice. It's rather hilarious.

If you don't take this too seriously at all, and go into it with an open mind with zero expectations, you may find yourself enjoying this little remembered horror flick from the early 80's.

Curiosidades
The movie is part of the notorious German "SchleFaZ" series (a satirical film series of the German private broadcaster Tele 5. In this series, mainly B-movies, which are characterized by particularly bad workmanship or unintentionally funny ideas, are introduced, commented on and presented by Oliver Kalkofe and Peter Rütten). Thus, the censored version was aired August 2020 on German TV station Tele5. ("SchleFaZ" is a German abbreviation of "the worst films ever". In that Series 2 hosts present the whole flick - and make fun of it throughout the movie.)

Versiones alternativas
The UK cinema version was cut by 27 secs by the BBFC and the same print was released on the Videospace label before the introduction of the VRA (Video Recordings Act). When the film was officially released on video in 1987 it received 1 min 43 secs of censor cuts with edits to all flesh eating scenes, an eye gouging, the stabbing of a man's head with a meat cleaver, and a woman being bitten in the neck and dragged under the sand. The cuts were waived in 2003 and the film was released unedited on the Anchor Bay label.
