Ancient Evil: Scream of the Mummy

I watched this movie for free with every intention of getting a good laugh from a really bad movie, and that is exactly what I got. So, in the strictest sense, I was not disappointed. However, if I had paid money expecting to be entertained, or perhaps even frightened, I would be unconsolably livid. This movie is not only bad, it's as though a group of high school kids who knew absolutely nothing about filmmaking got together, scribbled down a script on a desk during class, got a camera and let it run, then shrugged their shoulders as their friends play acted in front of some lights. I am not kidding. My entire analogy is there on the screen, no joke. A friend of mine actually worked for the guy who produced this movie (names withheld) and informed me that this thing was shot in only four days. Sounds about right. But let's just say hypothetically, if you've got 96 hours (i.e. four days) to make a movie, AND you're getting paid for it, then why not at least try?

I'm normally a fan of the cheap and cheesy drive-in genre, but after seeing this flick, I would seriously consider finding the print, setting it on fire, burying the ashes, digging them up a week later, and burning them again. This is now the most recent addition to my list of the Ten Worst Movies Of All Time.

Oh dear, what were they thinking when they wrote this - about something else is my guess, the shopping, what they had for breakfast that morning - pretty much anything except "lets make a good movie".

The acting is atrocious, with stilted dialogue, especially by the guy who plays Morris, you can see him listening for his cues.

The budget was obviously spent entirely on the creature itself but don't let it fool you into thinking this is worth watching - the creature looks like some shambling fat man who has been hit by the ugly stick a few times. The creature fails to be scary as it rarely gets above the pace of an athritic snail.

As I said the creature was where the majority of the budget went, it did not seem to stretch to location or extras. This film is meant to be set upon a school campus and I think you see a total of 9 people, including the creature throughout. Also the "Dorms" look distinctly like a normal house, probably the directors. I even began to suspect that the constant cliche of walking around darkened rooms was probably an effort to save on the lighting bills.

There is no character build up - so little in fact that I can only remember the Morris guys name (because he was so awful) and I have only just watched the damn movie. You do not care about a single one of them.

On my box the film is called "Bram Stoker's The Mummy 2". What the hell as this film got to do with Bram Stoker?

Do not ever ever ever ever ever watch this movie - do not be fooled into thinking "oh, it may be so bad it's funny" - it isn't it's just plain bad.

where should i start ? the thing is, this movie killed totally my fantasy, and no matter how much i was willing to give it a chance, the boredom was unbearable, i've read other comments about fat-mummy, poor acting, suspenses.....cant agree more than i do, tried to stick the focus on it but found the time to have two phone calls during the "show", thing that, on a normal movie, never happen, suggestions ? let's not be rude, there is always a first time for everything (or almost), i gave my first "dry" 1 to this flick yawn.....hope in the future to see again something even close to indiana jones 1 and 3, those are the adventures movies worth watching

Really lame horror flick. No gore or nudity,(R rating must be for the teenage profanity), bad acting, dumb dialog. You know you are talking low budget when the dead characters wounds are just a splash of fake blood here and there. I would give this one minus 4 stars.In other words people should be paid to watch this.
