Excellent but underrated film

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

To give everything away... Eric Roberts doesn't appear in the film, just his unconvincing voice as a 600 year old Native American shaman. On an island in the Pacific northwest (Nackpanna?), a construction crew has discovered old burials. A class of students come in to do an evaluation for relocating. The class is missing Brundle who was harassed by the class in black and white bad camera angle flashbacks. He is descendant from the shaman and uses a newly discovered buried scroll in remarkable condition to raise the shaman mummy from the dead and kill those who once locked him in an attic. The mummy had his own music, one that would have been more fitting for a Miami Vice feature. The film consists of students jogging around the island with the mummy staring at them through the woods. Occasionally one succumbs to an ancient Native America steel scythe.The film didn't have much dialogue. And when it did, it was bad and not delivered well. This could be a "so bad it is good" film that was clearly influenced by the likes of Rene Perez and perhaps even 1960's Italian horror.Guide: No sex or nudity. No swearing. One use of "effing" Okay, I am not totally clear on the swearing I started the intermittent FF after an hour, disqualifying myself for a hacker punch.

A kind of horror involving college students who travel to an island to excavate a burial ground. As soon as they arrive on the island they are picked off by a sickle packing mummy (an obvious Halloween costume).All I can say is David Decoteau did this one so you know what to expect. He is consistent at churning out really bad ones. You probably notice Eric Roberts name slapped on the cover so you figure he's in it. Wrong. He is in it, but in voice only as he reads a narrative at the beginning and at the end.Each student shows up on the island alone and at different times which makes the mummy's job a little easier. There is no violence or even swearing which usually makes for a lame movie. You could probably write a book on what's wrong with this flick but it's easier just to avoid this one.

If you look at some of the "actor's" credits you'll see this movie is their only credit and maybe their last. Really really bad acting, no suspense, thrills or shock value. It fails not only as a horror movie but a movie in general. Just a bunch of guys running around in the woods with their shirts off and the only woman in the "movie" looking bored as hell. A native American mummy with gauze bandages around its head and white pants and shirt designed to look like bandages killing everyone with a metal hand scythe that looks like they picked it up at the Home Depot and wrapped some feathers around it to give it that native feel. I can't imagine it took more than an afternoon to make this "film" and cost more than a few cases of beer.
