Pretty Good

Masterful Movie

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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.

American Mummy is a low budget indie horror film about a bunch of archaeologist students who discover an Aztec mummy residing inside a cave system in the desert. However, said mummy is possessed by the 'lord of the dead', a demonic entity that begins to possess each of the students in turn. After the initial set up it soon transpires that this is a straight forward EVIL DEAD copy featuring scenes of gruesome murder and dismemberment and demon-possessed victims hungry for living prey. It's a grisly story indeed, shockingly so in places, and fast paced with it. Despite the multiple shortcomings, this is much better than I was expecting it to be.

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.

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.
