Rating:  - WARNING- absolutely dire
I usually refrain from leaving an all-out pan of a review, BUT, consider this a warning- I strongly suggest curious horror fans refrain from spending hard-earned money on a dvd of this dreadful bomb. I consider myself pretty open-minded when it comes to low-budget horror films. Often, the limited budget can lend a film a certain gritty, unrehearsed, documentary style, which can work in its favor and help create a believable atmosphere. Sadly, that is nowhere near the case with DAWN OF THE MUMMY. ... Read More
Rating:  - Mumbies On The Loose!
An attempt to merge mummy movies and living dead zombies. The acting is just awful, with hardly a shred of unchewed scenery by the end. For instance, one of the leading ladies finds a severed head in the desert, and begins to screetch and whoop while running in a circle around the head (as opposed to running away from it) until she finally launches herself at one of the guys and slides down his body like a cheap party dress in the back of a shag-carpeted van. In fact, both the story and effects ... Read More
Rating: - There's a reason why this is a 'rarely seen' film...
Well, it's been awhile since I've seen something as bad as Dawn of the Mummy (1981)...and as one of my esteemed colleague mentions `It's not the best, it's not the worst'...to which I would agree, with a clarification...it's a lot closer to `the worst' rather than the `the best'. I certainly don't mind cheaply made exploitation films as long as there's heart involved, but I didn't get a sense of that here. All I got from this film was a sense of someone trying to cash in on the popular genre of the ... Read More
Rating: - George A. Romero influenced gore cheapie...
First saw this film on VHS in the mid-eighties when it was released by either Vestron video or Thorn/EMI, and due to a combination of my young, impressionable age and the over the top violence of this gore classic it left a huge mark or should I say scar on me.
Is the film any good? I would venture yes, in a 'so bad it's entertaining, Lucio Fulci (Zombie, Gates of Hell) or Joe D'Amato (Beyond The Darkness, Anthropophagus)' sort of way. Frank Agrama, the man responsible for this travesty is ... Read More
Rating: - Now this is how you make a crappy movie.
Now this movie has a brilliant concept: A zombie movie, but with mummies instead. The execution of it all is, um, flawed, but it's good campy fun anyway.
Lots of people out there who are horror fans are unable to take horror movies seriously- they just like them as camp or whatever. I am not one of these people, and while I certainly can enjoy good-bad movies, I prefer them to be genuinely good. Sadly, 'Dawn of the Mummy' cannot be taken seriously, at all. It's just way, way too amateurish ... Read More
