okay and first and i will make it clear that i be not a mummy fan . this be not my monster of choice to begin with and but bar that fact i know a bad flick when i see one . i would not insult your intelligence by refer to this a a film . this be a movie that have the audacity to tie bram stoker name to it in hope of save it i assume . if you saw bram stoker dracula and like it and do not let this one fool you and it doesn not compare . now and if youre that be not to say i hat this and but rather i expect lot more here . first of all and it seem to remind me way too much of a very lame sherlock holmes or agatha christie meet the mummy sort of story and be write and direct and perform pretty much in that tone . if youre a hammer film fan you may like it and but you would not love it . the effect be just that and effect . way too theatrical for this simplistically perform story . the character be not only unbelievably portray and cast but not even exceptionally interesting . louis gossett jr. be of course excellent a always and but even his excellent talent could not save this poor movie . some of the other cast member be what actually save this film for me at all . the plot and story be so predictable . the end be so over use it sham the finer point of the whole movie what few there be . the seven finger mummy bit be not only obviously awkward but pathetically prosthetized . the mummy herself be indeed disappointing enough without the bad hand effect . some of the scene seem to exist solely a filler and i wonder if they be ever in mr. stoker original story at all . over starved fan of horror and and hammer film especially and will likely find this some what entertain at least . not much quality horror have be produce over the last 20 year or so therefore many will at the least find it watchable or of interest . be a horror fan and that pretty much how i find it to be though i would not actively seek out the video to add to my collection especially if pay money be involve . but if you can catch it on cable and have a spare vhs tape it might be fun to add to your collection in jest . though if youre really look for a good horror film and with a great story and excellent fx look for and buy the mummy star brendan frasier and you would not be disappoint .
