a shame this be so bad really and because i like bad horror movie and actually rather like the basic premise represent back when the spanish be be generally unpleasant to native in america and they enslave the local populace and get them to mine all the gold out of the mountain and basically end up with a wet dream worth of gold . oversee the operation be seven jesuit priest that vow to protect to gold until the spanish force return for it . they never do . over the year they die and be mummify and bury with the gold by the remnant of the native population . fast forward a few hundred year and a bus load of convict be transfer escape with one of the guard a hostage ( the only good thing about the film and the delectable cerina vincent ) . they bimble across the desert look for the mexican border and find en route a mummify body bury in a dry river bed with a gold medallion on it while when they later find a mysterious indian ( the always reliable and although poorly cast in this case danny trejo ) who spot the medallion and he tell them the legend . naturally and have just crawl out of the desert and barely survive and they decide to go back and try to find the gold and ignore the indian who be now laugh manically at their decision . they find the town and and most of them die . it the vast majority of component that be wrong with this film . the dialogue be too quiet and even the slight incidental music or sound effect totally wash out the dialogue and so you have no idea what be be say most of the time . the music be atrocious and very very loud and a mixture of gangsta rap and ultra heavy thrash metal and totally inappropriate and make the dialogue situation even bad . it be shoot predominantly in total darkness and so most of the time you could not only not hear what be go on and you couldn not see what be go on either and i imagine it would be like watch a group of people be stalk in a windowless warehouse by carcass or napalm death . now when they get to where the gold be bury and there be a wild west style town there and complete with an evil sheriff ( billy drago . yaay . who actually turn out to be the prime antagonist and not the mummy of the title ) and lot of random grizzled 1860 type western folk and the obligatory bar or cathouse populate with extremely buxom young lovely . the gang of convict do not question this one bit and they be not remotely bother by the fact they seem to have slide back in time 150 year or so . the explanation for this be either simply not in the film and or be very briefly cover in sub audible dialogue and but i gather from a review that some wild west era settler arrive there and settle and find the gold and wake the mummy and who subsequently kill the entire town and the inhabitant be now curse . the convict be enjoy the bar when the inhabitant turn into undead ( terrible effect and ghouls look just like normal people and just with some blue eyeliner and right . ) and the prostitute turn out to be vampire ( wtf . ) that dispatch a couple of the convict right there and then . the remain convict run around in the dark and break into board up building for no apparent reason and but they do eventually encounter some mummy and and they turn out to be ninja and high speed kung fu combat mummy with a propensity for crazy jump around to be fair and this be actually a pretty good fight scene ( what you can see of it in the almost pitch black ) . the weird thing be that since thing go belly up in the cat house when the ghoul reveal what they be and the entire population of the town apart from the sheriff have vanish . eh . why . no idea . the convict spend the latter part of the film just be chase by the sheriff and the mummy do not even join the pursuit after their one fight scene . and the end with two bloke and a coffin be completely random and meaningless and it not anything to do with the rest of the movie as far a i can tell . i love crap movie and but please and this be dreadful in every conceivable way and it not often i watch a lousy horror movie and think to myself wish i would do something else and like maybe get some sleep .
