GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
vincentprice-858-50517 ...i just watched this movie after having it staring me in the face every weekend for the past year and i feel i have to vent. I bought this for £2 at Tesco, i thought it'd be quite good seeing as it mentioned Bram Stoker on the cover and i was fully prepared for the "so bad it's good" type horror. That it wasn't.I admit to having watched this all the way through, it isn't anything special or innovative, i don't think it was trying to be. The set is very unbelievable, as others have mentioned it looks like it was filmed in a house, though they didn't even make much effort to make it look like a place of study. All the way through the film there is a "storm", it came across as annoying more than scary. It wasn't very tense although it tried to be, an example is when the professor searched around the museum/school/house type thing, it just dragged on for ages to no avail of a monster and even if that was the point, they made a long, boring point of it.I think it's a stretch to call this a "horror", there was little blood, no scares or jumps and the soundtrack didn't add to the atmosphere either. On the other hand the Mummy itself looked quite impressive, though i didn't understand why it had a beer belly. The characters were textbook stereotypes; the jock, the nerd, the good guy hero, the pretty girl and her virgin room mate.This plot only made a little sense, i don't understand why the Mummy had to kill everyone and then get the sacrifice, cut to the chase! maybe you wouldn't have been killed in the first place if you kept it on the down-low. I also didn't see the point in the nerd boy telling his teacher at the beginning of the movie he was going to kill everyone and wreak his deadly revenge. Wow, now we know the whole plot of the movie and we don't give a damn what happens to these characters, hey lets go waste our time on something else.I'm giving this film a generous 2 because i managed to watch it unlike some stuff i have walked out of in the cinema. Maybe that's just because i don't get too bored easily. If this film had some humour, more blood and wasn't so serious it'd be more entertaining.
MartinHafer This is a really stupid film. And, I normally wouldn't do this, but am going so far as to say that the writers (if there really were any) were also really dim--how else could you explain this dopey film?! The film abounds with obnoxiously unlikable college students who manage to make me root for the murderous mummy--simply so they will shut up! Often, these god-awful characters are much, much more annoying than Screech and the gang from "Saved By The Bell"--and that show was marketed mostly to junior high and some high school kids! In other words, while we might expect the "SBTB" cast to be dumb because they are playing teens, what is the excuse for these people for talking and acting like 12 year-olds?! Can the writing be any more broad and amateurish? Possibly...but it would take a lot of effort. In fact, I assume this was written by a 12 year-old who was trying desperately to seem adult and cool by adding cursing (not even good cursing--just crude language that makes the characters seem to have IQs of about 12) and a bit of sex...yet miserably fails.As for the plot, it involves an Aztec mummy who looks nothing like an Aztec mummy and an idiot idea of an idiot student actually turning out to be an Aztec priest...in 1999! And one-by-one, he has his newly revived mummy off these losers. I say more power to 'em--kill these horrible characters in this stinkeroo film! And, while you are at it, think about taking out the writers as well! Cheap, not particularly entertaining and dumb...it's the trifecta of bad film making.
trigger_cairns before the film even kicks off you know its gonna be awful. i managed to watch through it, and actually laughed myself stupid! but i'm pretty sure thats not what David decoteau was hoping for... where to start... the mummy itself. this is supposed to be an Aztec corpse, thousands of years old. its FAT. and slow. the effects are absolutely abysmal, and no matter how much fake lightning you through behind it, its still not scary. next up is the actors. where they came from, no-one knows. where they've gone, no-one cares. each character that face the mummy turn to the "hands-on-face-scream-lungs-out-but-dont-run" technique! the main character, norm, has the most IRRITATING habit of raising his eyebrows every time he delivers 2 words of his dialogue. the hero Dom is just soooo boring (and gets a limp for no reason in the big climax finale), the female lead Stacey seems determined to make sure her friends know shes a virgin (nt surprising when you see her!) the dialogue is also HILARIOUSLY bad. such ones that tickled me are "i'll just slip into something a little more... naked." "big spiders, wherever you are... stay there", "they need a virgin... Stacey's a virgin............. STACEY!!!!!!!" and the best of all "all our friends are dead..... but i wanna get on with my life". watch it, for comedy value. PS. large consumption of alcohol before viewing strongly recommended!
The_Movie_Goddess Whe we bought this movie, he had thought we were going to see a decent mummy movie. True, from the pictures on the package, and the misspelling on the back summary, maybe a low-budget movie, but still something fairly entertaining.How wrong we were...This is one of the worst movies I have ever had the misfortune of seeing. The setting looked like someone's house, not a museum or a college campus. Many of the actors looked like it was very possible they were related, and the dialog was some of the corniest lines I have ever heard. The entire script was like some of the world's oldest and most predictable clichés had been thrown at a skeleton of a plot.Also, there were so many things wrong technically with this movie. The way the mummy was handled, the lack of care the professor put into the 'priceless artifacts' in the museum was absolutely astounding.The one good thing I will say about Ancient Evil is that it did make me laugh, harder than most comedies. So, if you're in the mood for a mind-numbing B-movie, I would recommend this movie.
