Bram Stoker's Legend of the Mummy (1997) Review

Lou Gossett Jr. may not be a high-brow actor, but he usually at least picks movies that are entertaining. The 80s-style earring and strange eye coloring in this one, along with the bad script make this one aspire to be entertaining.

The only other marginally recognizable name, Amy Locane, is perhaps left wishing that Melrose Place hadn't been canceled.

Whatever the case, it is Locane's father, an archaeologist obsessed with the tomb of an Egyptian queen, who has suddenly taken ill with some strange markings on his wrist. We are to find out later that these are actually fingernail scratches - seven of them, from the dead queen herself, who had seven fingers on one hand.

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have something directly to do with movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often..
