With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at vampire fans and fans of a well-timed joke. Vampire lore, given its own spin. Shelve it next to Trick 'r Treat.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 25 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Saturnino, a young archaeologist, bourgeois and wealthy, lives in a luxurious mansion. He receives a visit from his old teacher, Don Felipe, accompanied by his daughter and a monumental mummy he has just discovered in one of his excavations in the Upper Nile. The Mummy, was in his time a princess and has on his bandages a curse, that when it breaks ... it will be dedicated to chasing and raping all the men it finds in its path.
