A fun and gruesome little mockumentary
Like a lot of found footage movies, this is 2/3 slow buildup and 1/3 insane payoff. The chit-chat drags a bit, but this is a very short film and the extended setup ultimately pays off in dividends when you get to the last 20 minutes. The final scene in particular is one of the most outlandish and surprising I've seen in some time. For me, this is why I watch indie horror. The budgets are tiny, but these films are willing to go places that mainstream horror simply would never even contemplate. The poor ratings on this one suggest this film has been a victim of mismarketing. No, this is not really a "mummy" movie exactly, but actually something much more disturbing and (darkly) funny. Recommended for those with adventurous tastes.
