One of the worst movies I've ever seen
... View MoreIt was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
... View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
... View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
... View MoreAnother "well it had potential" type of films. It's not all that watchable despite the big names, familiar faces that appear in it. I love the idea behind the film: A mummy, the Egyptian goddess Bastet and cats getting revenge. But the way it was written and filmed really sucked more than any vampire. I'm sorry but the film is barely watchable.Meredith Baxter and John Carradine are the real reasons to watch out side of the cats, some Egyptian looking art and briefly a mummy. It's a film I should like but I don't - and I love a lot of "B" to "Z" grade films.Not a recommended horror film from me. But if you happen to catch it on one night and there's nothing else to watch then I would tell you well it's better than nothing if you're a horror fan.3.5/10
... View MoreI haven't seen this movie since I was a kid in 1973,and have looked for it for years. Recently found it on You Tube. I remember being impressed with the eeriness film and the scary visuals of the ending, even though you know who the priestess is. However, what lessens the films enjoyment for me seeing it again is the appearance of abuse of cats, with an unnecessary plot device of alley cats surrounding and eventually attacking the priestess. It appears the cats were starved to congregate around the victims and thrown onto the victims, a lot like what was done with rats in Willard. I am glad we live in more animal conscience times. 2.5 out of 4 stars
... View MoreThis was a silly story to begin with, which is bad considering all the big name stars involved.It is horror for chicks, the ultimate chick flick horror film, because all the gorgeous young women are killed, and only old ladies live, and all the older guys are killed, and none of the young guys.In other words, it's the fantasy for women, and the ultimate turn off film for heterosexual guys.There really isn't any more this film is about. Hedison is a well meaning hero, who stumbles upon an evil beautiful woman.Most of the roles aside from Whitman and Hedison are little more than cameos. There isn't anything developed. It puts new meaning to the word "lame".
... View MoreThis was another ABC television movie. Great modern take on the old Egyptian mummy curse idea. When the movie opens, the appraiser is going through the late millionaire's collection of Egyptian artefacts, some of which might have been smuggled. We are left to assume that the collector simply died from natural causes. We don't see the collector in the movie at all. We're given a quick overview of why the appraiser is there and that's it.The murders don't start until a thief steals the heavy gold amulet from around the mummy's neck, if you remember. Said mummy was a priestess from the cult of Bast, the cat goddess, and the amulet was meant to imprison the spirit of the priestess.Elements of the old detective story are blended with the supernatural in this tale. We are kept guessing until the very end as to the identity of the mysterious killer.Great special effects in the scene when David Hedison finally has the showdown with the cat creature!
