This cheaply made Mexican horror film, poorly dubbed into tinny English, is a joke from start to finish, a dreadful bore that looks like it's made from styrofoam blocks and kindergarten student paste, covered in cupboard paper. I had a feeling that I had seen this film before, and it does turned out that some of the footage was used in a 1964 Mexican horror film, "Curse of the Werewolf". It was made before that film, but much of the footage here was recycled from an earlier Aztec mummy film by the same director. What is fresh would still cause simonella.
The mummy here (later recycled into the Mexican werewolf) has a mask on that looks like it came from a five-and-dime store, and the villains are far too cliched and one dimensional to even be campy. Of course it starts with a flashback from ancient times that look cheaper than the styrofoam and kindergarten school glue. The pacing is painfully slow and the dialog idiotic beyond belief, more narration than plot moving conversation. The Orson Welles lookalike villain is twice Orson's size with 99% less acting talent (hammier than Miss Piggy,) and the robot looks like a prehistoric washing machine, complete with human face stuck inside the rinse cycle. Instantly forgettable and easy to avoid.
