MOVIHERO RATINGWHAT IT'S ABOUT
Dashing legionnaire Rick O'Connell stumbles upon the hidden ruins of Hamunaptra while in the midst of a battle to claim the area in 1920s Egypt. It has been over three thousand years since former High Priest Imhotep suffered a fate worse than death as a punishment for a forbidden love—along with a curse that guarantees eternal doom upon the world if he is ever awoken.

Viewer reaction
“It's not horror you know - it's just real good family fun.”
Viewer reaction
“Trying to cram action, adventure, fantasy, romance, comedy and horror into a single should not have worked, especially not in a Universal Monsters reboot, but…”
Viewer reaction
“Indiana Jones Horror Story If you think "The Mummy" (1999) is a remake of the glacial, ultra-serious classic of the same name, think again.”
