Dawn of The Mummy (LE) [Blu-ray]

After a damned Egyptian tomb is opened by some treasure hunters with the aid of a group of US models, a vengeful mummy rises and hoards of others kill everyone in their path.A wonderfully bad mummy gore flick. Featuring some hilariously bad acting, sets which look like they were built from chipboard, golden props made out of wood, an almost laughable story and a frankly tedious opening half, will lead you to believe that this is an absolutely awful film, however this is so much better than you'd ever expect. The Shuki Levy soundtrack particularly the closing theme is great, the genuine Egyptian locals are a real bonus (even adding dare I say it some believability to proceedings) & even some of the gore effects aren't that bad, but it's the last 30mins that the film bursts into life, the pace & gore gets ramped up becoming quite exciting at times, with a very good climax in the town centre.A film like this low budget, no brainer really has no right to be as much fun as it becomes in the last 3rd, yes the first 50mins are nothing but a (very) long set up for the finale, but the pay off is great and a lot of over the top fun can be had (some scenes are genuinely funny) just don't go into this looking for a serious mummy movie. This was another film that was placed on the section 3 list, the DPP clearly not seeing any fun in this offering.

This film is a limp cash-in on George Romero's seminal Zombie film. Hence the title. Fans of Lucio Fulci's Zombie Flesh Eater's might like to add this to their collection, as eventually, after much boring dialogue, the viewer is treated to the film's only great squence, as the titular mummy's rise from the desert to go on a gory rampage in a near-by town.How much gore you get for your quid, depends on the BBFC, as this was once on the banned list.

A group of fortune hunters disturb the sacred tomb of a mummy, and a group of models and photographers make the unwise decision to do a fashion shoot inside the tomb. Soon they are all in danger as the mummy rises to seek vengeance along with his faithful army of flesh eating undead slaves.This has a gory, fast moving climax when the mummy and his mates gatecrash a wedding party and start eating the guest list, but in order to watch this the viewer has to sit through long periods of inactivity, some very bad acting(and dubbing) and awful dialogue occasionally livened up by a gory set piece. Unfortunately, the special effects arent up to scratch. A good example of this is when a character gets a meat cleaver in the head. It switches from the real head to a palpably false latex one and back to the real head with absolutely no shame.So whats good about the film. Well the mummy and his cohorts look good, the climax is reasonably fun and the soundtrack is excellent. Very hard to recommend to anybody to buy though, unless your a horror completist. 2 out of 5

First the good points, the idea of having a fashion shoot with "the best models in town (sic)" inside an ancient tomb was interesting, the gore was fine for its day but won't impress most modern viewers the attack on the wedding party is pretty decent though. Local laws meant that the fashion shoot couldn't be as racy as they may have wanted it to be, which is a shame as it needed a good prod at times.It is slow to start, the Ancient Egyptian intro with the riders kidnapping children seems to have no relevance to the next scene where the mummy is buried and on the commentary director Frank Agrama couldn't even remember filming that scene which says a lot about its relevance.I saw this movie when it came out first time and was amazed when it was placed on any banned list, I got this as I could only remember a few scsnes and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Age hasn't been kind to it.Over time it has developed a cult status as the commentary by Agrama and horror expert Del Howison discuss in depth as the film goes on. Not that Agrama will be bothered too much as it was made for around $500,000 and has made that back many times over.For Mummy movie completists only.

A group of tomb raiders enter the resting place of an ancient pharaoh to steal hidden treasure they suspect is there. Meanwhile a photographer and some airhead fashion models stumble upon them and they decide to start a fashion shoot in the tomb! With their resting place disturbed the avenging mummies rise to get some payback."Dawn Of The Mummy" from 1981 has far more in common with "Dawn of The Dead" and "Zombie" than it does with any mummy flick of old, but I'm afraid to say it's a pretty boring film that takes ages to get going. The acting is poor and it gets tedious but the characters do have a certain so bad type charm about them. There's a nice scene when the mummies rise from the desert sand but sadly they then don't seem to do anything for the next 40 minutes. Already at this time the main mummy has risen but there's just constant shots of his eyes as he commits mostly boring off screen killings. Finally in the last 20 minutes or so it gets going and the gore starts to flow. Now we get some cool scenes of mummy/zombie mayhem but by then it's too little too late. 2.5 Stars.This is not a great film but I'm sure die hard zombie fans will want to seek out.

Super Trash Classic . Schnelle Lieferung . Danke

I saw this movie in the drive inn and this dvd version is way better then the older vhs version ,, its full screen and has very slight artifacts,, all the gore is in it and also its the 93 min version...P.S the packaging is identical to the old vhs box cover too which to me is a plus :)

This was a fun, classic, monster movie! When archeologists disturb his tomb, the mummy walks and gets revenge! I watched this for free on Prime Video and I liked it so much I bought the DVD! Dark, murky, and creepy, the perfect scary movie for an October afternoon. Full color, decent quality transfer, no bonus features (unfortunately), if you love Mummy movies like I do, check this one out!

Nice item nie buyer

This is a good movie.
