The mansion of famed Egyptologist Abel Trelawney is adorned by hundreds of ancient treasures stolen from the tombs of the great monarchs of Egypt. His prized possession is the almost perfectly preserved mummy of Queen Tera. When his daughter, Margaret, find her father near death with her arm savagely torn in seven places, she is about to enter the most frightening night of her life, as lying silently near to where Abel has fallen is the mummified corpse of Queen Tera. She is immersed further into the mysteries of the Trelawney Mansion, when amongst the artifacts Margaret discovers explicit instructions from her father stating "if I am mysteriously stricken, I must not be moved from this house and my body must never be alone." What past deeds of Trelawney has reached out to the ancient spirits and unleashed the curse of centuries?

This has to be the most amateurish 'budgeted' film I have ever seen. It has no plot worthy of the name, some of the most crass dialogue I have ever heard and the worst acting this side of Ed Wood....For those who don't know this is the third film to be based on the Bram Stoker story 'The Jewel of Seven Stars', and it is a timely reminder of actually just how good those other two films are. This one lumbers dismally on, in search of a plot and a ending worthy of the name. When our hero first meets the maid with the crap English accent she starts fantasising about sex - what the hell is that about?
The film builds slowly and with little excitement or direction to a dismal climax that shows how little idea the perpetrators of this rubbish of drama and tension. The end is as dismal and disappointing as the rest of this sorry mess. Don't get me wrong, as a lover of the genre I'm glad I bought it, but it is total crap. Give me Valerie Leon and Blood from the Mummy's Tomb anytime!
Avoid this unless you really can't help yourself!

This is defintitely a "Made For TV" movie, with the low budget actors, and even lower budget script. Imagine a B-movie with slightly better camera work, and you get the picture. There is a slight twist at the end, but unfortunately you will have worked it out before it occurs.

Ok it's not the Brendon Fraser movie packed with expensive CGI fx--but even that was just an Indiana Jones rip off. This Mummy stars direct-to-video king Louis Gossett Jr and has drop-dead gorgeous Amy Locane as the eye candy (so who cares if she can't act?). No great fx here, but it's passably entertaining when you're in the mood for something silly.

Do you know what this feels like? It feels like someone made a very decent little chiller with a good tv cast led by a strong film presence in Gosset Jr. It feels like they actually managed to put together a rather ok little film, if we allow for some slow starting performences (Amy Locane is wooden enough to give your screen splinters to start off with but warms up well) and the utter rubbishness of the handprops. And then someone came in and hacked the bejabers out of it, destroying plotlines, ruining suspenses and dropping two utterly pointless nudie scenes into it. It's butchered competence, and all the more annoying for it. This film could have been good. Not brilliant but good. As it stands it's a tv movie jazzed up incompetently by an amateur, the result made incoherent and silly. Like a horror Caligula. Shame.

I don't expect a cinematic masterpiece from a movie like "Legend of the Mummy", but I do expect to be entertained. This movie failed to deliver. Marketed as a horror movie, it's mostly a mystery with horror elements, and its main problem is the script. The plot is a barely coherent mess and there's absolutely no suspense or anything even remotely interesting going on in the movie. It's just boring. Not recommended.

If Mystery Science Theatre 3000 ever makes a come-back this will be the first movie they use. The Director must have been taking the ****!

This is a fantastic film. Great Script. Written buy pure genious. The way the film is shot gives the viewer a creepy kind of feeling down thier spine. This film is historically acurate also. I think a great deal of effort went into producing this. Just goes to show that small budgets can make great films!
