Somebody, please, for the love of Christ Possessed, give David DeCoteau one of those "Worst Director Ever" awards. Or at least have the world know about this through other means. A moronic idiot should never be allowed to play with a camera and a strobe lightning effect device. I'm not laughing.A bunch of teenagers on a location that looks like a mansion with some dorm rooms. They're supposed to be taking some extra geology or history classes (during summer, is my guess). There's a dried-up mummy stored on a table in the mansion, and some nerd awakens it with some ancient evil plastic scepter thing (or whatever). The mummy looks like some dude with a Halloween mask, wrapped in dusty toilet paper. Some teenagers get killed, and I can't even remember how (I saw this flick a few weeks ago and I don't have Alzheimer, so go figure...). And then this movie ends at some point.The most fascinating thing about this film, is director David DeCoteau's idea of suspense. Building up tension, to him, equals having someone walk around in the house, while the mummy is shuffling through the frame in the background of the shot, like some stoned dude who got lost on his way to the toilet. While that sounds more like comedy to me, it's not even funny.

They've obviously never seen this film.I got this film on a drunken Xmas night out to the petrol station to get some smokes, it was in a box set with Night of the living dead(original), The Plague and Howling IV.Truth is, I wish I'd covered myself in petrol and set light to myself before watching this, The Plague and Howling IV.I guess the £4 this box set cost me was for Night of the living dead! Don't watch this film, in fact, if you see a copy BURN IT! In fact, maybe you should watch this film Then people might realise Uwe Boll isn't the worst director to have graced Hollywood!

This VD is awesome. The extra special behind the scenes featurettes and multiple jump-to "how the scene was shot" footage really adds insight into "in my opinion" one of the best aztec college student mummy flying stork alien documentories ever produced". True..the movie runs a little long...but with over 12 scenes to pick from..One has to ask how it all fit onto one disc? SCREAM OF THE MUMMY!! QUAZTERRRRUGHHUTTTJETL " *Note..the mummy speaks in the actual ancient aztec language **not spoken for thousands of years. One of my favorite scenes is at the very beginning...Did anyone else notice the exotic fade-in of RAPID HEART PRODUCTION while at the exact same time it fades-in ...it get's BIGGER !! The psychotic effect this produces makes one feel as if you're falling..no...being SUCKED right into the TV itself. Amazing.

I've seen better film on a bath tub. The producer/director may have worked in Hollywood for over 20 years and started out with a fright master, but he must have cribbed pages from the Ed Wood Book of Terrible Movie Making! No, that's a spiteful statement, isn't it. Sorry, Ed! At least your movies were fun! Don't waste your time on this movie. The acting is not much better than a junior high production and the cliché mood-setting storm is annoying instead of scary. Stilted dialog, ham reactions, and staid camera work create a boring experience. The mummy in profile looks more like Homer Simpson wrapped in day-old diapers.In fact, the only positive things I can say about this movie is the mummy's makeup is spot on (not his costume!) and the packaging is top quality. Whoever designed the DVD packaging should have written and directed the movie as it appears more time and thought went into the cover instead of the movie.You can't sue to get back the 96 minutes wasted on this "film". You'd get more out of making your own version of Scream of the Mummy, and it would probably be much better than this.This movie proves that you really can't judge a movie by its DVD packaging, and there ought to be a law about delusional and false self-promotion on DVD covers of what amounts to something that is not much better than a frat-boy weekend home-made video.
