About
You might enjoy this if you like old-school monster movies, cursed tomb stories, and scrappy horror in the vein of Graveyard Shift or Virus; Not for you if you want polished scares or a tightly explained plot.
Pros: creepy opening; original mummy idea; pulpy monster fun | Cons: uneven pacing; weak effects; confusing story
