- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who appreciates a well-choreographed fight and anyone who enjoys a good scare. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 27 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
When Santo accompanies a troupe of archaeologists in the search for Aztec artifacts, they find the Mummy of an Aztec who leaves a warning to those who tamper with his resting place. The adventurers ignore the warning, and before long, the Mummy starts bumping them off one-by-one with his bow & arrow.
