Battledragon I've watched 2 DVD versions of this, first one was Anchor bay UK's version, that I've now lost god knows where (maybe I broke or sold it, can't remember, it was years back now) and the Macady's version, which I think is open matte. Correct if I'm wrong.But get to the point. The movie is quite awful (well, not as awful as many Bruno Mattei stuff, but we're getting pretty close to that. There's some grave-robbers, who violate the sacred tomb of (what-ever the name was) and gets curse upon them. Also there's annoying filming group, pretty much lack of nudity, they didn't offer much to this already crappy movie.However, there's a turning point at the ending of the movie, where the ancient legend became truth, and the ending is full of nice-nice splatter (by no-one else but Maurizio Trani). So, if you can bear all the stupidness of the movie about 70 minutes, the ending is definitely worth to seen. Overall, I'll give this movie just a 3/10, reasons I mentioned above.
tedder_ryan First time I saw this movie poster it was interested me. Cover was really nice , cool and creepy. I tried to check about "Dawn of the mummy" information on internet included IMDb. So. I wondered why rate of this film was really BAD. But I don't care , the poster interested me. Then I found many DVD / VCD shops where had it on sale.Today , I'm feel very happy because I buy it just only 2.99$. I back home and watch it. Opening nice and scenes good. Time past by the film gone wild and worse.Very bad quality. I never expected that the film will awful like this. "B" movie is the worst , zombie , mummy make me confused what are they ? They're Zom-my or Mum-bie wow! really waste my time and my money.But the last 15 minutes very fun (best 15 minutes from this movie). However it still bad for me. I hate this film ! (this is my conclusion!)2 out of 10.
suchenwi Like others have said, this is a horror/zombie B-movie with a number of faults. However, it also has its likable points. I watched it twice in a row, first with standard English soundtrack, then with the director's audio comment - and that was quite an interesting experience. Less commenting on the scene of the moment, he rather explains the production conditions, as well as film-making and a bit of life in Egypt in general. The contrast gets specifically strong when the director explains how Egyptian medical students do part of their training in London, in the same moment that the head of the archaeologist drops from above... Quite a different experience with this audio comment! The film itself is very Egyptian - except for a few NYC street shots, most locations and sets, as well as many actors, and of course the director, were Egyptian.The other thing I really liked were the scenes in the tomb - whenever something gory happened, the camera went to the painted clay statues of goddesses, full face, and those faces seemed to express indignation or sometimes pity for the unseen horrors. I thought that was remarkably subtle, and provided me with lasting images.But in comparison with Karloff's 1932 Mummy, I found this one lacked empathy with the horrible - the mummy here is just evil and dangerous, while the 1932 precedent was at least ambiguous, where one could understand his point of view at least a little bit...
HumanoidOfFlesh Some fashion models and their photographers decide to shoot a fashion spread in Egypt for the fashion magazine.At the same time,three bandits are excavating the burial site of the Mummy, who was introduced during the film's opening.The two groups cross paths and the fashion photographer decides that the Mummy's tomb would make a really great backdrop.Unbeknowst for them the place is cursed and the ten foot Mummy comes back to life,bringing an army of zombies with him.A flesh-eating rampage ensues!But before that occurs,an hour of film passes by and actors act very badly.Frank Agrama's "Dawn of the Mummy" is often regarded as the goriest mummy flick ever made.It is surely loaded with lots of gore and gut munching,especially during its last 30 minutes,so fans of splatter should be pleased.Still the action is rather dull and the film offers nothing fresh or new.However if you are a gore-hound you may give it a try.7 out of 10.
