American Mummy

My mom and I like to watch cheesy horror movies together. American Mummy passes cheesy and goes into bizarrely bad. Every choice made is bad, the mummy never shows up, and the acting is awful. As a side note, I'd say this is more of a zombie movie than a mummy movie, but at this par of movies does it really even matter?

If you enjoy the technical aspects of movie-making, watch it with friends and have a fun afternoon tearing apart a movie that is truly an accomplishment in poor film making.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. I dosed off 4 times within the first 30 minutes. Everything sucked in this movie, the acting, the story-line, the direction, the editing and even the 3D sucked.

1) Story-line = terrible 0/5 (very difficult to follow the story, continued to jump around not leading into the next screen)

2) Acting = terrible 0/5 (a Russian professor with the worst Russian accent ever just to name one)

3) Video = extremely bad (many of the shots were not considered for 3D presentation

4) 3D = sub-par (lots of ghosting over an high-send Sony active 3D display)

5) Audio = 1/5 (nothing to write home to mom about)

6) Flow of events = 0/5 (worst ever)

7) Editing = 0/5 (wonder if the editor graduated from high school)

8) Direction = 0/5 (director should be banished from the studio lots and forbidden to make any further movies, including documentaries.

Do yourself a favorite. Won't waste your valuable time on this crud.

Want a mummy movie with literally nothing to do with the mummy, then this is the movie for you! the film moves at a tediously slow pace and the video and sound quality feel like a documentary, one that happened to be filmed on a budget of next to nothing. The acting is terrible, the script is terrible and the sound effects are laughably bad and at time I had to wonder if this was a horror comedy.

The one saving grace is that the special effects involving the gore and zombie violence (Yes, there is more things to do with zombies than mummies)is pretty good.

This film begins with a man by the name of "Philip" (Jack Grimmett) and two women "Carmen" (Esther Canata) and "Becca" (Jennifer June Ross) looking for an Aztec burial site in the desert of New Mexico. By chance, Philip sees an opening on the side of a hill and upon further investigation is brutally killed in the process. Hearing his screams, Becca runs to the cave and sees Philip's body lying next to what appears to be an ancient Aztec sarcophagus. The scene then shifts to 12 weeks later with both Carmen and Becca being joined by a research team led by "Professor Jensen" (Suziey Block) from Monroe University to study this mysterious object. What Professor Jensen doesn't realize, however, is that Carmen has advanced knowledge of what lies within the sarcophagus and is intent upon resurrecting it regardless of the price it will later demand. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film started off reasonably well but after the first 20 minutes or so the lack of resources began to show and things went downhill rather quickly after that. Some scenes-especially those featuring "Jose" (Rudy Marquez) dancing around in cheap Aztec garb-were extremely amateurish. Likewise, the ending was equally ridiculous as well. That being said, I don't consider this to be a good movie by any means and I have rated it accordingly.

Even fast forwarding at 4x, this moving is really bad and I have seen a lot of crappy horror movies. The acting is terrible, there isn't enough naked to distract you and there is no script to speak of. The only saving grace is characters get killed fairly quickly so you don't have to suffer through their bad acting all that long.
