Day of the Mummy (2014)
Welcome to Egypt, land of the Pharaohs. A place steeped in history and legend; Gods and spiritual guides; untold wealth – and the bone-cracking, blood-spilling guardians of its riches. Jack Wells has arrived in Egypt in search of the famous diamond known as The Codex Stone. His journey leads him to the tomb of the cursed King Neferu, cursed not by name but by nature. With his centuries-old slumber disturbed by timeless human greed, the King rises from the dead with a blood-lust that cannot be quenched and a raging fury that will shred flesh from bone, bringing terrible and tormented death to all who dare witness the Day of the Mummy.

Absolutely Brilliant!
A Disappointing Continuation
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Well, we all know it is a low budget movie. But still this one had it all, the lines, the suspense... the gore(almost real gore). It was not colossal like Arnold Vosloo movies, but it had the adventure thing, true dungeon feel. Danny Glover always gets the job done, even with low budget. Not the fancy all effects movies, but it was not boring. Also, there was good camera work, and if you want to have different movie, this one is good...
Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 1/5 starsYet another one of those horror movies, where nothing happens for three-fourths of the film, and the eventual payoff is utterly disappointing. Director, Johnny Tabor, is so disillusioned, that he inexplicably chooses to conceal his main protagonist's visage for most of the film. And the unnecessary shaky-cam detracts from most of the proceedings. Screenwriter, Garry Charles, follows closely on the heels of his Director by penning a script that's not only dreary and lackluster, but also lacks a semblance of decent scares.Couldn't believe that Danny Glover was in this. His recent filmography is seriously threatening to obliterate the fairly respectable legacy he had built through the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. He needs to get his act together and realize soon that he isn't yet old enough for this kind of steaming pile of crap.
Watch the trailer, the movie is worse than the trailer, which is frankly appalling. I'd prefer root canal therapy without anesthetic to sitting through this rubbish. Shabby POV footage, tired storyline. The screenplay appears to have been written by a particularly slow witted 10 year old boy with a mummy fetish. I'd recommend watching damned near anything else besides this film. There is a plethora of better films about mummies that you could watch, pick any of them and you'll be well served avoiding this rancid POS. If you're the product of incest then this may be the film for you. Otherwise I advise avoiding this at all costs.
if it wasn't for Glover being in it i would never have watched it. even the mummy which you don't see till near the end just looks like a bloke quickly wrapped up pretty sure anyone could recreate this with a cheap camera. no idea why i watched it to the end, nothing really happens in the hole film. have no idea how much profit these low budget movies make, only assuming just enough to make there next.Danny Glover is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between November 2013 and November 2014, a nearly $60 million lead over his closest competition.maybe this film was a bigger hit then i realize???with the amount he was in this film im sure he spent the morning in the studio and then on to the next movie. making 22 movies in 2 years im sure that's a pretty busy scheduled. funny how some actors say yes to everything and some cherry pick the better ones, but then i guess hes doing something right.hoping the other 21 movies are better then day of the mummy
