Audience Member mu buena la pelicula Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Made for TV films are usually a bad idea, and this film is proof of that. This horror thriller film is a poorly written, directed and acted. This is also a boring film, one that has nothing going for it, and it's a shame because if this wouldn't have been made for TV, maybe the film would have had a chance. As it is, it's a poorly written story that is pointless, and not exciting. The film also has some poor special effects, which are laughable, and it just makes this film looks even worse. This is the type of film that is made with no care in trying to make something truly entertaining and watchable. Directed by Highlander director Russell Mulcahy, this made for TV action horror thriller just doesn't grab your attention due to poor performances, lack of any good storyline and awful looking special effects. Don't watch this film because you are simply wasting your time, as the film is just a long, none entertaining bore. Watching paint dry is more exciting than this film. The cast stars Casper Van Dien, who since starring in big budget films like Starship Troopers and Sleepy Hollow is now a B movie, schlock film actor, and it's no secret why. He simply can't act. I think however that it's a shame that Mulcahy would direct this trash because he has made some good films in the past, notably Highlander and Razorback. With this film however, he just wastes his talents on such a poorly thought film, and it shows in the finished film. This film is a ridiculous attempt at horror, one that doesn't succeed and it's a film that fails to really grab your attention. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member This film was just ok. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A family movie aimed at the Children though the adults may find it entertaining. Script is loose and simple as is the story though the CGI is of a reasonable quality to keep one entertained. The action is of sufficient fun to enjoy a laugh and hope that the heroes make it. Nibbles: Calamari Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review adam b Enjoyable for the cheese factor and also because it's actually kind of well done. But, still be cautious of this one Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Aventures and fantasy in the ancient Egypt with cheesy FX,......if you're in the mood for some light entertainment watch this....
