This is one of the most obscure movies that I’ve seen and there is a reason for that. This is a cheap and nasty version of the “Mummy” and it is far worse than “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor”.

In this version, some guy named Trelawny is found severely injured and unconscious. Then the movie pretty much turns into a detective show for a bit before this whole idea of the Mummy did it comes about. Then some really stupid stuff happens and I honestly lost all interest as all I remember from the third act was that the Mummy had several fingers.

The cast in this movie was unbelievably horrible to say the absolute and utter least. The Mummy though is where my big gripe is. I didn’t expect much from the people in a low budget horror film in the 90s but the monster should look alright. Never have I seen such a stupid looking Mummy. Even the Mummy in the Lon Chaney Jr. movies looks a hundred times better. Also we don’t really get to see enough of the Mummy; he should really be in quite a lot of it and I understand that maybe they were trying to wait a while before showing it like they do with the shark in “Jaws” but for such a disappointing outcome it makes the suspense worthless.

I wasn’t necessarily expecting a good movie but I was expecting a movie where the Mummy went around killing people like he does in some of the earlier movies such as “The Mummy’s Hand”. Instead we get a mixture of a ghost movie and a murder mystery movie with the Mummy character just chucked in without much thought. I can imagine this being direct-to-DVD or even a television special but I can’t believe this actually got a theatrical release.
