EVIL UNLEASHED: THE MUMMY

Evil Unleashed: The Mummy
By Aine

Yet another movie scripted by Eric Spudic, the guy’s just prolific! Anyway, now we’re treated to a mummy tale, only this time, the mummy is a semi-sexy lady. As with many low budget films, and I mean LOW budget, this looks like it was shot with an old VHS camcorder in someone’s back yard and that they cast all their friends instead of actors. This is pretty much what I expected, so I’m not surprised in any way. I did see some familiar faces from the film Maniacal.

Basically you’ve got a flat chested Egyptian chick who decided that even though she has someone who loves her, she’s all hot for some evil God named Aman. So she dances around in a provocative manner, shows some boobies, then kills a few people and offs herself with some special gold knife.

Cut to the present day, of course, and an archeology dig that is supposedly in Egypt, but still looks like wherever the rest of the film is shot, and we find the tomb of our mummy mama. The body, along with all of her artifacts, is shipped to a college where, conveniently, all the students are enrolled in some sort of Egyptian history class with a whacked out professor. He convinces the students to call out the ancient incantation with him and yep, you guessed it, there’s one angry mummy-mama unleashed. Hence the title, Evil Unleashed: The Mummy.

The mummy kills her victims, which are sacrifices for Aman, by stripping for them and giving them a lap dance, then ripping out their hearts. I don’t know about you, but even as a girl, if I have to see the same pair of gazongas over and over again in a film, I’d like them to be nicer ones, oh well.

Anyway again, mummy chick needs to be stopped, and this can be accomplished by lighting her up with flames galore. Of course none of this can go down until the spirits of the ancient Egyptians are invoked and they all have some sort of strange kung-fu battle. I don’t know when Egyptians started doing Kung Fu, but I was amused.

As you well know, the evil is thwarted, and boobzilla, our heroine (I guess) lives, the end. Sorry for the spoiler, but like you didn’t see it coming.

This DVD boasts no special features, but it does have the option of viewing it in super cheesy 3-D. I tried to do this with my 3-D glasses and everything just looked blurry and weird, but I guess if you can get it to work right then some of the heart ripping scenes would look pretty cool.
