American Mummy

It's cheesy bad. Everyone once in a while my friends and I get together for a night of marathon cheesy bad movies and this one made the cut. Do not expect a great script or even decent acting. However, there is plenty of gore and it's a classic for perpetual bad decisions. If you are looking for something that'll make you jump when you least expect it, this one can deliver at a couple of spots. There are some attempts at comedy. I found myself wondering if they had fun making this movie or did they expect it to become a cult classic that would eventually launch them into convention fame? I doubt if we'll watch it again at a later date. This has the feel of a one-time viewing experience.

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.

Oh, my! Where do I start? This movie reminded me of a bunch of middle schoolers trying to make a movie. The acting was horrible. There was so much unnecessary nudity, but not enough to make up for the poor visual effects, lack of talented actors, or ridiculous plotline. It was a total waste of time.

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.
