Mummy Maniac

I've seen a lot of B-rated flicks in my 20+ years of being a horror fan; some were really good, some weren't that bad, and then there are those that are terrible beyond belief. This film is of the latter category. In fact, giving it 1 star is being too kind to it.

There are two things that are really consistent in this film. The first is extremely bad and over-acted performances. The second is repetitive scenes of really crappy actresses being tortured by the "killer", all set inside the same room where everything is painted gloss black, while his drag-queen looking mother supposedly looks on.

I seriously hope to god that, if this is indeed a true story, that the killer wasn't this boring.

For anyone who hasn't seen this, please don't waste your time or money to watch this. Seriously, there are probably high school drama departments that could put out a better film than this.

I like b-movies. Often they have something that I like, even thou it's just a glimpse of it, it's wort watching the movie just for that short second. But this one is so bad and crappy that I rate it as the worst movie I ever seen. Everything about it is bad. Didn't think it was possible to not find a single something in every movie that gives some kind of mental satisfaction, but I was wrong. Acting, editing, photo, sound and probably directing is made in the worst possible way. A friend asked if it was any nudity and therefore wacthable. Not even the most desperate pervert will bare to see the movie just for a glimpse of a boob. Avoid this movie. At all costs.

...because it's total crap! I can't believe that I watched the whole thing. It's basically the same scene repeated what seems like 100 times. He kidnaps a girl, talks to her like he's half-retarded, wraps her head up in bandages and kills her while his freak-show mother (who looks like Michael Caine in drag) watches. I love B-Horror flicks, but I don't even consider this a real movie. Lionsgate should be ashamed of themselves for releasing this garbage. They're the worst. I bought this at a Hollywood Video going-out-of-business sale for 83 cents, then traded it in at another place for $1 and I still feel like I got ripped off.

I have seen bad movies before but this has to be right down there with Ulli Lommel's "Black Dahlia" There is literally NOTHING of ANY value in this "film" aka "Mummy Maniac"

Scary noises and heavy breathing either mean I'm sick on the floor or at a really crazy "Frat" party. NOT as a means to scare anybody in a movie.

What!, a bunch of girls disappear and their bodies presumably re-appear somewhere,.. but dead!, and there is NO police activity?

The protagonist wanders around New York in his cool "official" New York Police Department's uniform and no one questions his authenticity as a cop?.

There is just an INCREDIBLE lack of anything approaching common sense apparent here.

Note to the "actors" in this bomb remove it from your resumes ASAP!.

I sure wasted three bucks! If I would have noticed the words "Hollywood House of Horror", the company that put out those Ulli Lommel atrocities on the box, I wouldn't have bothered to pick this up.

BEWARE: This movie has no character development or anything resembling a story.

Please do not watch this unless your idea of a good movie is watching a fat tub of lard dressed like a cop, herding girls into the back of a semi truck and taking them to some closet to be screamed at, their face wrapped in gauze, and eventually killed. If that's your idea of entertainment then go ahead and knock yourself out! No really, knock yourself out, preferably with a hammer! (kidding)

Let me give a special shout-out (and middle finger) to Lion's Gate for helping these crooks steal the hard earned cash of unsuspecting viewers everywhere! They couldn't have done it without you!
