Day of the Mummy
Welcome to Egypt, land of the Pharaohs. A place steeped in history and legend; Gods and spiritual guides; untold wealth – and the bone-cracking, blood-spilling guardians of its riches. Jack Wells has arrived in Egypt in search of the famous diamond known as The Codex Stone. His journey leads him to the tomb of the cursed King Neferu, cursed not by name but by nature. With his centuries-old slumber disturbed by timeless human greed, the King rises from the dead with a blood-lust that cannot be quenched and a raging fury that will shred flesh from bone, bringing terrible and tormented death to all who dare witness the Day of the Mummy.
A shambling, blood-soaked throwback to classic mummy curses that leans hard into practical gore and relentless undead fury.
- Practical effects and splatter-heavy kills deliver a grisly, tactile punch missing from many modern mummy flicks.
- Feels like an unofficial sequel to ’80s and ’90s low-budget Egyptian horror, a niche corner of the genre worth revisiting.
- For fans of creature-driven horror who don’t need polish but crave body horror and brutal set pieces.
- The pacing can be uneven and the story thin, but the relentless mummy menace carries the film through its flaws.
