This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Another brain dead selection from the production company Asylum. LEGION OF THE DEAD attempts to mix mummy movie with sexploitation flick. The result, hardly a first, looks like an inferior remake of the much-maligned LIFEFORCE. This time, instead of a naked space-vampire chick that sucks the lifeforce out of entranced males, we get a naked mummy-vampire chick that sucks the lifeforce out of entranced males.Calling this movie a rip-off would be a compliment, however. It would ignore how really bad this film is. Unconvinced? Think about this: the best feature of the movie is the bad acting.So what are we left with? There's laughable CGI. A "legion of the dead" that amounts to a few badly made up mummies. An Egyptian tomb set that appears to have been made of cardboard (but perhaps that's how California's ancient Eyptians once constructed them). I kid you not, people. This tomb was discovered in the woods of Southern California. And don't make me start on the script. Please. I don't want to think about it in any kind of detail.Worst of all, I saw this damn thing on the Sci-Fi Channel, so the main reason for its existence (the nudity) was edited/blurred out.

The movie itself was pretty dull, and most the acting was a little cheesy. I did think that the girl who played the lead character, Molly, was great! She gave this movie the only real depth it carried. I hope she will continue to pursue her career, and that others will see what an incredible talent she really is. As for the plot, you could drive a semi through the wholes in this movie. It was so completely unbelievable that it was hard to watch. None of the characters were written with any depth and only a truly talented actor could bring any believability to it. I think that the majority of people in this film should give up hope of ever doing anything besides cheesy C rated movies or maybe porn. Everyone except the lead actress whom I mentioned before.

I watched this movie yesterday and was quite entertained. The Mummy chick was very spooky and very sexy. I believe it was the combination of the Mummy chick's bath in the swimming pool and Carter's performance in the movie that helped me forget about low budget the movie actually was. Carter saving the "Lisa Loeb-like" chick from the spear shot from the tomb really set the tone for who was gonna be the main male character in the movie. Gremlinboy and Mr. Boxcutter may be so-so headliners but I believe Mr. Collins deserves top billing. If I had any disappointments about this movie it would be that there wasn't enough depth to the characters. Carter would benefit greatly if something more was done to expand his character. I believe this actor (Collins) has shown potential to become a household name and face in Hollywood. Congrats. CanjoBornBlazin

I really do not like being harsh but this movie is awful! I mean sometimes I find at least one good thing to say about a movie but there nothing good to be said about this one. There is a a lot of senseless action in the movie that has no flow, people die needlessly and repeatedly, there is scary music when there is no need for it, importance is placed on certain roles and then they are removed from the movie by being killed off, and the action scenes involving the lead actress is like watching a Barbie doll trying to defend herself. Especially at the end when she plants the ankh in the neck of the woman! It really looks like she does not have the strength to hold the ankh let alone drive it through someone's neck. Also let's not forget how she evades the mummies at the motel. She can play an intellect in front of a camera but someone put this actress in a class that teaches how to act out action scenes. I usually keep a copy of all my movies but not of this one. I am deleting this one just like I deleted Gargoyles by Jim Wynorski.
