Watch Ancient Evil: Scream of the Mummy For Free

Good movie but grossly overrated

Don't listen to the negative reviews

best movie i've ever seen.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

...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.

Rented this on the advice of "You'll love it". This was obviously for the comedy. I've never laughed that much in my life. There is nothing WHATSOEVER frightening about the 'Mummy' (who looks suspiciously like a fat man wrapped in toilet roll) and the acting is terrible. The plot is dull and the sets (well, set, as there is only one) are cardboard-like. I won't even begin on the continuity, just think magically disappearing blood and you have the start of it. Add to this the usual sprinkling of stereotype teenagers, some voodoo magic, dodgy costumes and, voilà! However I would watch this again just to see the slowest, least frightening Mummy in history stalking his victims with a rubber knife. This film is great...if you want to cry with laughter!

1st of all this film is called scream of the mummy, the mummy never screams, just makes a few gurgling noises.The acting is bad, I don't care about any of the people in it, I actually cheered when the annoying professor died.A large part of film seems to revolve around men in boxer shorts chatting."the last surviving priest" who can bring the mummy back looks like a 10 year old computer geek.The acting is the best part of the film.*as a side note this has absolutely nothing to do with the 1st mummy film, and Bram Stoker would probably be p1ssed off if he knew.

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.
