3.0 out of 5 stars the only mummy gore fest, 2 April 2003
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Should Have Been Kept Under Wraps, 25 April 2003
I cannot believe that this pile of utter tat has finally made it into DVD, with a host of extras as well!
Back in the early eighties, it very quickly became difficult to get hold of certain films in their uncut form and this was one of them. The only reason that the original VHS of the dreadful Bobbee Bresee starrer ‘Mausoleum’ was so popular was because at the end of it you could watch the trailer for ‘Dawn of the Mummy’, which featured quite a few of the gory scenes not deemed fit for British eyes at that time. Unfortunately, when those of us so inclined managed to get hold of the entire film we were in for a big disappointment.
It’s not just that ‘Dawn of the Mummy’ is bad, but that it ruins such potential. Take a great title (with all the inherent possibilities of a George A Romero rip-off), a great premise (when the mummy awakens, so do all the servants who were buried with him, only they come back as kick-ass zombies), a great make-up artist (Maurizio Trani, who assisted Gianetto de Rossi on Lucio Fulci classics amongst others), and some great locations (the pyramids, for God’s sake!) and then bury all the things you have going for it in a vapid, poorly-acted, tedious exercise in exploitation film-making with some of the most dislikeable characters ever committed to celluloid. The bit where the zombies rise from their desert grave is superb, but it’s a case of too little far too late. This is exactly the sort of picture that gives horror movies a bad name.
What about the extras? Well, if I had to compile a list of movies that I thought would never get a commentary this must have been in the top five, and yet here we have Frank Agrama chatting merrily away about the technical aspects of putting together his magnum horrendous. The ‘film notes’ have been written by someone who couldn’t even be bothered to watch the film and who instead gives us a potted history of mummy movies in general. Oh, and there’s the trailer, which is still quite good. In fact it’s a triumph of the trailer-maker’s art as it still makes you want to watch the picture even though you know it’s utter garbage. It’s hard to believe anyone could make films worse than Andrea Bianchi. In fact I think I’d rather watch Burial Ground (The Zombie Dead in the UK) again that have to sit through this. Excruciating.
