Welcome to Egypt, land of the Pharaohs. A place steeped in history and legend; Gods and spiritual guides; untold wealth – and the bone-cracking, blood-spilling guardians of its riches. Jack Wells has arrived in Egypt in search of the famous diamond known as The Codex Stone. His journey leads him to the tomb of the cursed King Neferu, cursed not by name but by nature. With his centuries-old slumber disturbed by timeless human greed, the King rises from the dead with a blood-lust that cannot be quenched and a raging fury that will shred flesh from bone, bringing terrible and tormented death to all who dare witness the Day of the Mummy.

Sorry, this movie sucks

Phonearl

Good start, but then it gets ruined

BeSummers

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I don't think I've ever seen a more bored group of actors pretending to be actors. The characters are completely devoid of any sort of personality, charming or otherwise. They have no notable growth as people to make it interesting. Oh sure, the hero is a sleazy, greedy jerk who also believes that people's lives are worth more than money, but that doesn't make him heroic now does it? No, it makes him pretty normal I'd say. I've known more than a few people who behave like degenerates when left to their own devices, but will still go through heck to be there for a friend in need. People are funny like that, but I can't call them heroic.And what's with the strong lady who is hired for "security"? Looks to me like she was hired because she's hot. Not to be rude, but she seriously didn't do anything useful in this movie except drop the tough guy act and crawl into the hero's sleeping bag before the first half hour was through.The storyline is like being fed spoonfuls of dusty Egyptian fairy tales that are obviously garbage. It sounded fake even to me, a guy who knows next to nothing about Egyptian history.Fortunately, special effects were limited in this feature. I'm not a big fan of overdone special effects, but having the camera blink out when anything exciting happens has never been a convincing method of building the tension to me. Especially when there isn't a reason for the camera to be blinking out.But of course the biggest weakness this movie has is the "found footage" style of filming. I don't care how clever the writers think they are. "We thought up YET ANOTHER way to explain having a convenient camera to film everything in our movie! Yay!" It feels more like a ripoff of popular video games like "Metal Gear", with the boss routinely appearing in the corner every few seconds to bark an order, and the hero's voice coming in smoothly crystal clear, like it was recorded in a studio (it was, by the way).Are there any good bits? I feel like I should mention some, but to be honest I'm having trouble thinking of any. The performance was very dry and honestly fairly dispassionate. Sure the actors ACTED angry, sad, in pain and the like, but it just still felt.. distant. Like you didn't have to care. Somewhere along the way the movie just got so cheesy that the viewer feels removed rather than involved. It fails to pull you in.It's not the worst movie I've ever seen, but it really just feels completely unexceptional and easily forgotten. In my mind, this is the greatest failure any movie can have, to be unmemorable. So I'm giving it a 2 to be generous.

For goodness sake, do yourself a favor and close your eyes for 80 minutes instead of watching this, you will be more entertained.After having sat through 80 minutes of the worst movie I have ever seen, I spent the next almost 4 hours with self torture techniques trying to remove any recollection of having watched it.I must admit it was only because Danny Glover was cast I watched it, but never has he acted so poorly. I have been a long time fan of his, but how he was directed to be so bad, I will now question any future movies he is in.The directing was pathetic. I thought this was his first, so willing to cut some slack, but nope, he has done this before. One thing for sure he will never see red carpet in his life.All in all this movie might have been made on a McDonalds meal budget, but directing could have made this acceptable.Johnny Tabor failed. He is now Johnny Ta-boring..........

It's not really a horror film but more of an adventure flick. It's reminiscent of the 80's action/adventure. Think (Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold) and and (King Solomone Mines). I have never been a fan of POV films and must admit this is one of the best ones I have seen because it's not shaky like the others. I would assume they spent all their budget on Danny Glover and in my opinion it would have been better without him. The writing is a tad weak and I did not know William McNamara was still acting but his voice carries along the film nice. The other actors are not too shabby considering this is probably the height of their work so far. The tomb they shot in looks amazing but I think the mummy could have been in it a little longer. The locations Venezuela (Egypt) look great on camera. If you watch it as a fun little flick and don't expect an award winning picture you'll enjoy it.

One of the biggest loads of crap I've ever seen. 1 hour 15 minutes of my life I will never get back. No signs of any mummies till 57 minutes into the film and even then only saw the mummy for about 15 minutes. The acting was awful the story line was very weak. Pathetic ending. There was no excitement in the film whatsoever. Another home video style movie which made it worse. Even Syfy channel movies are better than this one. I've seen more action in a care bears movie. I am surprised Danny Glover was in it. Do I need to continue to say any more about this load of rubbish. Save your money. Leave it on the shelf. It's not worth watching whatsoever.
