I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
My mom and I like to watch cheesy horror movies together. American Mummy passes cheesy and goes into bizarrely bad. Every choice made is bad, the mummy never shows up, and the acting is awful. As a side note, I'd say this is more of a zombie movie than a mummy movie, but at this par of movies does it really even matter?If you enjoy the technical aspects of movie-making, watch it with friends and have a fun afternoon tearing apart a movie that is truly an accomplishment in poor film making.
Aztec mummy of Lord Tezcalipoca is discovered in the desert by some Monroe University students. One of them gets the idea to revive its spirit which enters people and turns them into ravenous zombie-like people.I was not enjoying the film and then toward the end I started thinking "so bad it is good" and "camp." There were scenes that were simply awful. We had a man perform a ceremony while wearing one white sock, a skirt, and a wife-beater shirt. At another time they are playing sad violin music while a woman is puking up green slime and her severed head is attempting to bite someone. Another man gets his arm cut off below the elbow, we then see him shortly later standing upright, acting normal missing his arm at the shoulder where it is bandaged with duct tape. A sacrifice is cut in the lower abdomen, about where the appendix would be and they pull out his beating heart.I think this film can be enjoyed on the "so bad it is good" level. I just realized it too late.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Erin Condry, Esther Canata + uncredited dancer)
Even fast forwarding at 4x, this moving is really bad and I have seen a lot of crappy horror movies. The acting is terrible, there isn't enough naked to distract you and there is no script to speak of. The only saving grace is characters get killed fairly quickly so you don't have to suffer through their bad acting all that long.
To start with the story-line was weak, no real explanation as to who the Aztec (Not American)Mummy was or maybe it did and i fell asleep for a few minutes. A shawl wrapped around a mannequin wearing a blue mask, with large eyes and teeth does not qualify as a Mummy, getting back to the acting, did they have a script? the actors were unlikable you really didn't care if they lived or died and like most badly done movies it relied on gore, each member of the group seemly getting possessed by the blue mannequin with the big eyes and turning them into cannibalistic ghouls . The music was quit annoying too this is not a good movie in-fact its one of the worse I've seen in a long time, on that point i would not recommend this movie.
