| Dawn of the Mummy is very deceiving by its title. It does not follow the classic mummy horror film formula, but is reminiscent of the classic gory type zombie film.
It all begins in 3000 B.C. Seferaman is being put to rest and a curse is set upon his tomb and his riches. We are then sent to the present day with three men who blow open his tomb with dynamite. Meanwhile, several bimbo models arrive in Egypt for a fashion shoot.
The main man in charge, Bill, decides to use Seferaman's tomb soon enough for their scenery. Rick and his pals object, but they let them anyway. Well of course this leads to Seferaman and his army of the dead to return and kill everyone they can get their hands upon. He succeeds this with several deaths for his victims.
I was very surprised when I first watched this film a while back. I was expecting a basic mummy film but I got back a bad movie, zombie mini epic. The only bad part of the movie is the fashion models, they become so annoying you almost want the mummies to lunge at them and tear them to shreds. Personally I don't blame them.

|
 | Bodies can be pretty well preserved under sand for a few thousand years.
| | Mummies leak hot oil if they are exposed to light.
| | Mummies actually have their own 70's music when they appear.
| | Models are compulsive about toenails.
| | Decapitated heads are often found lying in the Egyptian sands.
| | Mummies love fashion models as snacks.

I have this movie, and StatCat did a good job with the review. Fans of zombie movies will love it. If you can find it in your local video rental store, take a look. The Thorn EMI release is a little dark,but the movie is still well worth seeing.

This movie sounds good. Another film, with a simular plot, was Face of the Screaming Werewolf.

The director, Farouk ("Frank") Agrama, also gave us "Queen Kong", a feminist version of King Kong telling the tale of a female giant gorilla who kidnaps an actor called "Ray Fay"...
