Mummy Maniac (2007)

This movie gets a lot of negative reviews. However, nobody is taking into account that the star of this movie, Ben Stewart, has stepped out of his classic genre which is comedy. It was low budget, give it a break! Honestly, I believe there was a problem mainly on the production end. Plus, the actresses were sub-par. It was probably difficult for Stewart to work with such amateurs. Afterall, Stewart is a member of Mensa, and was a triple major in Physics, English and Theater in college. His intellectual and artistic ability could not be appreciated with such minimal script and lack of opportunity to show his unparalleled talent. However, if given the proper role in a comedy, he would surely win an Oscar.

I can just say that no man or women would ever be even close to satisfied with the time wasted by looking at this piece of junk. ~80 minutes of absolutely nothing more then you can fit into a 3 minute long trailer. I can't believe that it wasn't ending with something else and I just waited and watched all the ~80 minutes to try and get a clue however they figured this movie would be worth producing/releasing. That question remain unanswered. The acting didn't have anything to offer and a few pictures of a naked girls breasts every now and then. And the "music" for this movie was just awful. The blood effects was even worse and there was really anything horror-like in this movie. I would more like to pronounce this genre as parody.

Considering it's limited dialogue and location and actors I think it was pretty cool. You had to take the journey with the writer on this one. Seems they have a pretty good handle on psychology. I liked the set-ups and the implications. The sets were nicely done for the budget.The gimmicks were cool, the mothers face etc and random death scenes. They made it for like $350 or some low amount.BTW Lionsgate bought it and distributes it so how's that for success! I liked the music too. It's worth watching I think and I've seen higher budgets that suck and are boring, much worse than this offering. The editing was pretty tight too and everything worked in my opinion. The weakest point was it had no real story, you made it up as you went along.

I have seen bad movies before but this has to be right down there with Ulli Lommel's "Black Dahlia" There is literally NOTHING of ANY value in this "film" aka "Mummy Maniac"Scary noises and heavy breathing either mean I'm sick on the floor or at a really crazy "Frat" party. NOT as a means to scare anybody in a movie.What!, a bunch of girls disappear and their bodies presumably re-appear somewhere,.. but dead!, and there is NO police activity?The protagonist wanders around New York in his cool "official" New York Police Department's uniform and no one questions his authenticity as a cop?.There is just an INCREDIBLE lack of anything approaching common sense apparent here.Note to the "actors" in this bomb remove it from your resumes ASAP!.
