Storyline

Six archeology students are spending the summer at an isolated rural compound with their college professor, working on an exciting discovery: an ancient mummy, found in the ruins of a temple. Little do they realize that the mummy was the servant of the Rain God, and that one of them has the ability to bring it back to life to exact its master's deadly revenge. Trapped inside of the compound with the murderous, unstoppable creature, they must join forces to destroy the monster, or allow it to carry out its plans to annihilate all mankind.

What the hell is this?

Who thought of this one? Granted, this direct to video movie does have a cool looking mummy but other than that, this movie is really BAD! The script is laughable to say the least. The acting is atrocious and there are maybe 6 people in the whole entire film, including extras (this is on a college campus?). There is no good gore or violence at all even though the body count is high it is all aftermath. Not even some T and A to tide us over. Just a poorly made movie with lots of idiotic 20 year old's swearing and overacting. Rent the Boris Karloff version
