Dull mummy movie

While the movie has some moments, it overall is a dull movie. The story is pretty typical for a mummy movie with the characters disturbing a tomb and the mummy raised from the dead. It takes a while for the mummy to awaken and it has two plotlines going on. First are three characters who are looking for treasure inside the tomb and the other are models who are doing fashion shoots. Both of them aren't that interesting to learn about and most of the time nothing happened during it. The movie does somewhat have a b-movie vibe with its bad acting with some of them are entertaining to watch. When the mummy awakens, that is when things pick up. While it acts more like a slasher villain and doesn't do anything outstanding. The climax is the highlight of the movie and is the only entertaining part of the movie.I don't remember any of the characters in this movie because most of them are extremely bland. None of them are that interesting to remember about and some of them are easily forgotten. As I mentioned before, the acting is pretty bad. That is a mixed bag on whether it's entertaining or not.The budget of the movie is about $500,000 and it shows. The mummy himself looks alright for the most part, but isn't that impressive at all. It looks simple for a mummy due to the low-budget. I also want to mention that some parts of the movie are too dark and could use better lighting in it.Dawn of the Mummy is one of those movies that you watch once because it's a dull movie that has some moments, but isn't that good.

Despite the title, this is no Romero clone and the fashion models show disappointingly little flesh.

Cheap, badly acted, poorly made Mummy/Zombie film, that plays like the soft version of a porn film - no plot drive or narrative, inconsistent editing and a dire script with non-actors delivering the lines.The story has American fashion models in Egypt for a fashion shoot - the location promises flimsy see-through dresses but their is little on show for the dirty mac brigade.Climax of the film introduces the zombie theme, with the Mummy's dead followers wrecking havoc on a nearby town in revenge for the desecration of their master's tomb. These scenes manage to be reasonably effective, but overall the film is flawed and seems to have been thrown together in unequal proportions.
