the soul of an ancient mummy be transfer to one of his follower so that he might punish everyone involve in the desecration of his tomb . the soul transference make the young man age at a tremendous pace until he himself resemble a mummy . one by one and the blood be drain from those involve in the dig . to be as brief a possible and pharaoh curse be quite the lackluster affair . while the movie do present a few good and original idea ( blood suck mummy and soul transference and interesting make up effect and the arm ripping scene and etc . ) and a few atmospheric moment and the direction and pace be the very definition of plod . to make matter even bad and the first 15 of the film relatively short 66 minute runtime consist of nothing much more than pad . i usually go for these slow moving mummy movie and but pharaoh curse test even my patient . the cast help very little . with only one exception ( ziva rodann be the lone bright spot wish the movie could have focus more on her mysterious character ) and the cast be as dull a the screenplay . finally and i do not know whose idea it be to put the mummy look servant in what appear to be pajamas and but it a laughable and ridiculous look for a creature that suppose to instill fear in the audience . despite my mostly negative comment on the pharaoh curse and i be go to rate it a 4/10 . not a good rating to be sure and but generous give all the problem i have with the movie .
