To make a movie, a budget has to be raised from investors. I bet all investors of this movie must be gnawing their fingernails in frustration for this loss. This movie was so bad that I do not know where to begin my review.
For starters, as someone who speaks and reads Arabic, I immediately saw red flags in the second scene when the girls are meeting each other. The signs behind them are an assembly of Arabic letters with no meaning; like writing "skejdifjglv fdkdpsa" and pretending that it is English, French or another Latin based language.
Normally, a daughter who meets her father for the first time in 20 years is a little awkward and reserved because they do not yet know each other. Here, they both hug and embrace like long lost friends. This is so fake.
Except for the last couple of scenes, throughout the whole movie, the daughter had a constant annoying big grin on her face no matter what the situation was, like "our friend just died" "Oh, that's OK". If she is only 20 years old, how can she read hieroglyphics and appears to be an expert in archeology and egyptology. These need a lot of experience and research and a 20-year old with a bunch of girl friends, all interested in archeology is a little stretch of the imagination.
The special effects were fake, like the forward moving bandages can easily be seen as playing in reverse bandages being pulled.
Strange ending: the mummy which was in the coffin has, all of a sudden, a decent looking woman's face; yet, she just lies there. Even though the daughter stabs her friend and her blood flows into the coffin, supposedly to resurrect the mummy, it still doesn't move. Again, even though, the mummy finally has a human face without bandages, the mummy killing the girls still has the original bandaged face. Was that a coordination blooper? As a movie buff, I give all movies a chance. I watch them before looking at reviews or ratings. I watched the whole movie hoping that somewhere along the story, a real thrilling adventure would take place. I was let down and extremely frustrated that someone could actually have the gall to call this video a movie with the caption "Evil has awakened". Please, go back to sleep. You don't scare anyone.
I gave a 1-star rating for casting pretty girls, although they really need acting lessons.
