I've seen a lot of B-rated flicks in my 20+ years of being a horror fan; some were really good, some weren't that bad, and then there are those that are terrible beyond belief. This film is of the latter category. In fact, giving it 1 star is being too kind to it.

There are two things that are really consistent in this film. The first is extremely bad and over-acted performances. The second is repetitive scenes of really crappy actresses being tortured by the "killer", all set inside the same room where everything is painted gloss black, while his drag-queen looking mother supposedly looks on.

I seriously hope to god that, if this is indeed a true story, that the killer wasn't this boring.

For anyone who hasn't seen this, please don't waste your time or money to watch this. Seriously, there are probably high school drama departments that could put out a better film than this.

I have seen bad movies before but this has to be right down there with Ulli Lommel's "Black Dahlia" There is literally NOTHING of ANY value in this "film" aka "Mummy Maniac"

Scary noises and heavy breathing either mean I'm sick on the floor or at a really crazy "Frat" party. NOT as a means to scare anybody in a movie.

What!, a bunch of girls disappear and their bodies presumably re-appear somewhere,.. but dead!, and there is NO police activity?

The protagonist wanders around New York in his cool "official" New York Police Department's uniform and no one questions his authenticity as a cop?.

There is just an INCREDIBLE lack of anything approaching common sense apparent here.

Note to the "actors" in this bomb remove it from your resumes ASAP!.

I'm not a person who worries too much about production values, or even plot or acting when it comes to low budget films. I mean, Uwe Boll can be pretty good now and then. I loved Bloodrayne one and two and looking forward to Postal.

This is a whole other thing entirely. My absolute number one worst movie I've ever seen. This honour was previously held by Snapped http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0432354/ which in retrospect while unbearably overlong, tedious pretentious and silly had one or two moments where I almost laughed when I cringed. The lesbian "beating up" the guy who owed her money was almost worth more than utter disbelief. Still not worth watching the film for, so don't subject yourself to that either.

I love a good no-budget film, like Ankle Biters, Splatter Beach or The Janitor. This though is so below any other standard as to deserve it's own genre. It's almost un-watchably excruciating. No redeeming features AT ALL! I could not believe what I was watching.

...because it's total crap! I can't believe that I watched the whole thing. It's basically the same scene repeated what seems like 100 times. He kidnaps a girl, talks to her like he's half-retarded, wraps her head up in bandages and kills her while his freak-show mother (who looks like Michael Caine in drag) watches. I love B-Horror flicks, but I don't even consider this a real movie. Lionsgate should be ashamed of themselves for releasing this garbage. They're the worst. I bought this at a Hollywood Video going-out-of-business sale for 83 cents, then traded it in at another place for $1 and I still feel like I got ripped off.

I can't believe how awful is this movie, who wrote the script? there's no script at all not an original plot, no acting just nothing, oh yes there is: Are you afraid of my gun? I'll kill you, snap snap snap! and all becomes the same once and once again, this is awful and repetitive, the acting is a piece of garbage, this looks like something I could film with my cell phone with a bunch of drunk girlfriends and my mum, I still can't believe it... I think the director was just joking and he made this movie just for fun, I hope he can do some career after this, if you don't trust me , OK watch the film, I warned you... -10/10 or well... 1/10 I wanna be a mummy before watch this film? again

I sure wasted three bucks! If I would have noticed the words "Hollywood House of Horror", the company that put out those Ulli Lommel atrocities on the box, I wouldn't have bothered to pick this up.

BEWARE: This movie has no character development or anything resembling a story.

Please do not watch this unless your idea of a good movie is watching a fat tub of lard dressed like a cop, herding girls into the back of a semi truck and taking them to some closet to be screamed at, their face wrapped in gauze, and eventually killed. If that's your idea of entertainment then go ahead and knock yourself out! No really, knock yourself out, preferably with a hammer! (kidding)

Let me give a special shout-out (and middle finger) to Lion's Gate for helping these crooks steal the hard earned cash of unsuspecting viewers everywhere! They couldn't have done it without you!

Ulli Lommel!??- avoid anything to do with this talentless man - calling himself a producer/director??!! ha Ha- everything he touch turns to excrement!! he makes Uwe Boll look like Spielberg!!! Seriously, avoid this dreadful boring film. I wish i had- his name wasn't attached to the DVD - (uncredited) - probably as it would indicate how bad it was going to be!

They also have the 'From the Director of The Boogeyman' on the cover- yes- the below average 80's horror film. (his only half decent work) NOT the Stephen Kay directed horror film and Sam Raimi produced film - which they are clearly hoping people will misconstrue it for and buy. They should be ashamed- it's tragic and sad that they have to resort to such thing. Pathetic people indeed.

Plot: Not sure there is one. This is one of Ulli Lommel's serial killer movies, this time about a killer who wrapped his victims up like a mummy before killing them. Apparently this killer is named Michael Savage, whom nobody has ever heard of, unless killing is the hobby of that ranting radio host.

This film does not even deserve a real review, because it is just more trash from Ulli Lommel. Although he got someone else (his friend Max Nikoff) to put their name on it as director, the taint of Lommel is evident from the first frame.

If you like amateur productions that jump around a lot, are rather incoherent, and offer nothing to their audience, this is for you. If you have any sense whatsoever, you ought to skip this.

I like b-movies. Often they have something that I like, even thou it's just a glimpse of it, it's wort watching the movie just for that short second. But this one is so bad and crappy that I rate it as the worst movie I ever seen. Everything about it is bad. Didn't think it was possible to not find a single something in every movie that gives some kind of mental satisfaction, but I was wrong. Acting, editing, photo, sound and probably directing is made in the worst possible way. A friend asked if it was any nudity and therefore wacthable. Not even the most desperate pervert will bare to see the movie just for a glimpse of a boob. Avoid this movie. At all costs.

Considering it's limited dialogue and location and actors I think it was pretty cool. You had to take the journey with the writer on this one. Seems they have a pretty good handle on psychology. I liked the set-ups and the implications. The sets were nicely done for the budget.The gimmicks were cool, the mothers face etc and random death scenes. They made it for like $350 or some low amount.BTW Lionsgate bought it and distributes it so how's that for success! I liked the music too. It's worth watching I think and I've seen higher budgets that suck and are boring, much worse than this offering. The editing was pretty tight too and everything worked in my opinion. The weakest point was it had no real story, you made it up as you went along.

This movie gets a lot of negative reviews. However, nobody is taking into account that the star of this movie, Ben Stewart, has stepped out of his classic genre which is comedy. It was low budget, give it a break! Honestly, I believe there was a problem mainly on the production end. Plus, the actresses were sub-par. It was probably difficult for Stewart to work with such amateurs. Afterall, Stewart is a member of Mensa, and was a triple major in Physics, English and Theater in college. His intellectual and artistic ability could not be appreciated with such minimal script and lack of opportunity to show his unparalleled talent. However, if given the proper role in a comedy, he would surely win an Oscar.

(2007) Mummy Maniac HORROR

Written and directed by Max Nikoff directing a straight to rental serial killer film supposed to be based on fact that happened around the LA or the Chicago area, an overweight guy whose pretending to do his duties as a law enforcer Michael Savage (Ben Stewart) but is really a serial killer, who gets his victims arrested first He then secludes each one of them to an unknown cellar before wrapping them up like mummies with a bandage before bashing their head with a sledge hammer. Low budget at it's best with some nude scenes obvious stunt doubles! The poster unfortunately does not make it look low budget. Bomb.
