Terrible and really odd.
- The Mummy Rebirth review by CP Customer
If you are expecting another great mummy franchise film then this is not it. This film has nothing to do with those great films. Just the title.
Appalling that anyone put money into this film. Seems to have been filmed in a cave in Wales. That is only location. This film gets 0% and I’m being generous! No not watch under any circumstances! Had to have a star....god knows why!

Low budget, but lots of heart.
- The Mummy Rebirth review by NP
The people behind ‘The Mummy Rebirth’ have clearly put a lot of time and effort into making a tense, exciting horror-tinged film. That alone, for me, places their production ahead of the juvenile, stereotypical ‘romps’ headed by Bendan Fraser at the turn of the millennium, or the computer generated cartoon starring Tom Cruise in 2017.
However, there’s no getting away from it: ‘The Mummy Rebirth’ isn’t great. While the locations are often nicely claustrophobic, the acting is variable, the dialogue is pure exposition throughout, and many of the effects (mainly CGI) are flawed. Whilst directors (and producers) Khu and Justin Price (Price is also the writer) valiantly try to generate a commendable air of suspense, as does Maui Holcomb‘s bombastic music score, The Mummy is just an actor (Michal Aaron Wiede) in a mask that allows us to see the area around his eyes.
The other characters are over-earnest and played in the style of a daytime soap opera. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing – in a film like this, the audience is more interested in the monsters anyway. But there is clearly not the budget here to make them an exciting distraction.
That said, I still commend the makers for producing this: it is flawed, but at least the intention to make something worthwhile is there, and that gives it a good heart. Ultimately, while I enjoy low budget films, I would say this definitely suffers due to lack of adequate funding. My score is 5 out of 10.

DEFINITELY not an MUMMY FANCHISE movie
- The Mummy Rebirth review by gg
i felt let down watching this poorly made production, its quality was far below the standards i expected.
the 3 previous MUMMY movies are still superior to this film, even though they were all made over 14 years ago.
the special effects were unbelievably poor, camera work was unnecessarily blurred at times? which made the whole experience, unbearable.
if you are hoping for a continuation of the MUMMY franchise, then this is not the film for you.
