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.

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.

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.

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.

Right, well when I sat down to watch "American Mummy", I wasn't really expecting much given the title of the movie. But come on, at least give the audience a proper mummy.

This movie was bad, and the mummy was a mere backdrop around which this train wreck of a movie circled. Sure, the mummy was there, but it was hardly a real part of the story, much less was it the antagonist of the movie. It was simply just there.

I managed to endure through "American Mummy", but believe you me when I tell you that I wasn't particularly entertained by what transpired on the screen. So why finish watching it to the end? Well, because I was hoping that the movie would eventually pick up pace and become interesting. I just never happened.

The characters in the movie were mundane, and it should be said that the actors and actresses in the movie had very little to work with, and it reflected poorly on their performances.

"American Mummy" was a massive disappointment, especially because I was expecting something in the likes of a good old fashioned reanimated mummy coming to life type of movie. That was just not the case in "American Mummy".

Do yourself a favor, and stay well clear of this 2014 movie, because it quite frankly isn't worth the time, money or effort.
