The Mummy is a rousing, suspenseful and horrifying epic about an expedition of treasure-seeking explorers in the Sahara Desert in 1925. Stumbling upon an ancient tomb, the hunters unwittingly set loose a 3,000-year-old legacy of terror, which is embodied in the vengeful reincarnation of an Egyptian priest who had been sentenced to an eternity as one of the living dead.

Far more ambitious than its predecessors but a notch or two below the unique event-movie experience it might have been.

Written and directed by Stephen Sommers, The Mummy would like to make you shudder, but it tries to do so without ever letting go of its jocular inconsequentiality.
