Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Want a mummy movie with literally nothing to do with the mummy, then this is the movie for you! the film moves at a tediously slow pace and the video and sound quality feel like a documentary, one that happened to be filmed on a budget of next to nothing. The acting is terrible, the script is terrible and the sound effects are laughably bad and at time I had to wonder if this was a horror comedy.The one saving grace is that the special effects involving the gore and zombie violence (Yes, there is more things to do with zombies than mummies)is pretty good.
American Mummy is a low budget indie horror film about a bunch of archaeologist students who discover an Aztec mummy residing inside a cave system in the desert. However, said mummy is possessed by the 'lord of the dead', a demonic entity that begins to possess each of the students in turn. After the initial set up it soon transpires that this is a straight forward EVIL DEAD copy featuring scenes of gruesome murder and dismemberment and demon-possessed victims hungry for living prey. It's a grisly story indeed, shockingly so in places, and fast paced with it. Despite the multiple shortcomings, this is much better than I was expecting it to be.
This is the worst movie I have ever seen. I dosed off 4 times within the first 30 minutes. Everything sucked in this movie, the acting, the story-line, the direction, the editing and even the 3D sucked.1) Story-line = terrible 0/5 (very difficult to follow the story, continued to jump around not leading into the next screen) 2) Acting = terrible 0/5 (a Russian professor with the worst Russian accent ever just to name one) 3) Video = extremely bad (many of the shots were not considered for 3D presentation 4) 3D = sub-par (lots of ghosting over an high-send Sony active 3D display) 5) Audio = 1/5 (nothing to write home to mom about) 6) Flow of events = 0/5 (worst ever) 7) Editing = 0/5 (wonder if the editor graduated from high school) 8) Direction = 0/5 (director should be banished from the studio lots and forbidden to make any further movies, including documentaries. Do yourself a favorite. Won't waste your valuable time on this crud.
Even fast forwarding at 4x, this moving is really bad and I have seen a lot of crappy horror movies. The acting is terrible, there isn't enough naked to distract you and there is no script to speak of. The only saving grace is characters get killed fairly quickly so you don't have to suffer through their bad acting all that long.
