Quick Take: An ancient mummy is awakened by some treasure hunters and an unsuspecting archaelogist. They`re then forced to kill it for good, lest they be killed themselves. Good acting and special effects keep the shallow story from sinking the film completely.

Review: An ancient mummy is awakened by a some treasure hunters and an unsuspecting archaelogist. The finders are then forced to kill the mummy for good, lest they be killed themselves. Good acting and special effects keep the hokey story from sinking the film completely.
In fact, one of the most notable aspects of this movie are the fact the actors do such a fine job of keeping a straight face while reciting some of the corny lines in a shallow plot one would likely find during a late-night television rerun.
Still, with the Genre of the film in mind, the good acting, and nice special effects, the movie is worth seeing and provides a decent escape from reality.
