DVD Review: RAGE OF THE MUMMY (2018)

 

RAGE OF THE MUMMY
Written & Directed by:  Dennis Vincent

 I love a good creature feature, and I have always been enamored with mummies.  I don't really know why, but I assume it's because I love zombies, and mummies are just zombies with some added mystery to them.  How are they walking?  What do they look like under all that cloth?   They always  make for a fun film, and Dennis Vincent's RAGE OF THE MUMMY keeps that streak going!     

Here is a brief plot snynopsis from the Dennis Vincent Films website:

A group of occultist steal 13 sacred relics from the tomb of Prince Horus-Kahn in order to create their own supernatural powers. Now, the three thousand year old mummy prince must hunt down the stolen relics while bringing deadly vengeance upon the grave robbers.

 First off, let me start by saying this is a low budget film.   Don't expect the film quality of the Brendan Fraser Mummy films of the late 90's and early 2000's, or the 2017 Tom Cruise Mummy film.   This is a low budget horror film made by someone that you can tell loves the genre and made the best film they could with the resources they had . That being said, they did a remarkable job at making this film not feel so low budget.    The acting is actually really good in this film, and bad acting is probably the quickest way to kill a low budget film.    The sets and effects are good enough to be believable, and the kills are fun.   

 Most of the kills are off screen, or you see the shadow of the kill, but not much blood and gore is seen.  There is one beheading, but it's pretty tame.  This would actually be a great movie to show kids to if you're trying to get them into horror films.   Its a fun for everyone, but not too scary for the kiddos.   

  My favorite part of this film were the animated sequences throughout the film, almost giving it a Creepshow type fell to the movie.  It made it feel like a comic book coming alive right in front of you on the screen.  

 

  Overall, I would definitely recommend RAGE OF THE MUMMY.  It's a fun film that you can tell was a labor of love to the horror genre!  The DVD is available now and contains the following Special Features:

*  Audio Commentary with Director Dennis Vincent and Associate and Executive Producer Steve Engstrom
