the only mummy gore fest,
This review is from: Dawn Of The Mummy [1982] [DVD] (DVD)
This film is a limp cash-in on George Romero's seminal Zombie film. Hence the title. Fans of Lucio Fulci's Zombie Flesh Eater's might like to add this to their collection, as eventually, after much boring dialogue, the viewer is treated to the film's only great squence, as the titular mummy's rise from the desert to go on a gory rampage in a near-by town.How much gore you get for your quid, depends on the BBFC, as this was once on the banned list.

You will die on the Dawn of the Mummy,

This review is from: Dawn Of The Mummy [1982] [DVD] (DVD)
First the good points, the idea of having a fashion shoot with "the best models in town (sic)" inside an ancient tomb was interesting, the gore was fine for its day but won't impress most modern viewers the attack on the wedding party is pretty decent though. Local laws meant that the fashion shoot couldn't be as racy as they may have wanted it to be, which is a shame as it needed a good prod at times.
It is slow to start, the Ancient Egyptian intro with the riders kidnapping children seems to have no relevance to the next scene where the mummy is buried and on the commentary director Frank Agrama couldn't even remember filming that scene which says a lot about its relevance. I saw this movie when it came out first time and was amazed when it was placed on any banned list, I got this as I could only remember a few scsnes and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Age hasn't been kind to it. Over time it has developed a cult status as the commentary by Agrama and horror expert Del Howison discuss in depth as the film goes on. Not that Agrama will be bothered too much as it was made for around $500,000 and has made that back many times over. For Mummy movie completists only.

Yawn Of The Mummy,
By Mr. Jonathon T. Beckett "vampire lover" (Dracula's Crypt) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Dawn Of The Mummy [1982] [DVD] (DVD)
A group of fortune hunters disturb the sacred tomb of a mummy, and a group of models and photographers make the unwise decision to do a fashion shoot inside the tomb. Soon they are all in danger as the mummy rises to seek vengeance along with his faithful army of flesh eating undead slaves.
This has a gory, fast moving climax when the mummy and his mates gatecrash a wedding party and start eating the guest list, but in order to watch this the viewer has to sit through long periods of inactivity, some very bad acting(and dubbing) and awful dialogue occasionally livened up by a gory set piece. Unfortunately, the special effects arent up to scratch. A good example of this is when a character gets a meat cleaver in the head. It switches from the real head to a palpably false latex one and back to the real head with absolutely no shame. So whats good about the film. Well the mummy and his cohorts look good, the climax is reasonably fun and the soundtrack is excellent. Very hard to recommend to anybody to buy though, unless your a horror completist. 2 out of 5
