Audience Member Pretty damn good and without question the best of the Aztec Mummy series. Like all monster movies, you wish there was more of the namesake mummy. If the translations presented here are accurate (I speak some Spanish, but I'm not fluent) then the dialogue in this film comes across as more intellectual than the average low budget horror movie. The story of the Bat stealing the Aztec treasure is carried throughout all three films. The scenes with the Aztec ceremony and the hypnosis would definitely be considered "padding" within this plotline, but in the end, the score is excellent and the mummy looks great. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Old Mexican Horror, And yes we have a masked actor,( ahh the things that make a Mexican movie) called the Bat, as he follows the DR that is trying to prove reincarnation exist. Of course we have the Dr's daughter who was a reincarnated Aztec queen. And we have the short appearance of a rather plastic raw rotting face of the mummy. My copy came from the Aztec Mummy Trilogy, its in Spanish with English subtitles, and I have to admit I had a very hard time staying awake, I am being nice with 1 1/2 stars. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member i have on tape one of this Aztec mummy movies. I don't know original title. Plot is : there is a scientific experiment to prove the theory of reincarnation. A god Doc and daughter Flora they are successful (Flora she's a reincarnation of a aztec princess, dead as sacrifice) and our heroes make an expedition to find the aztec tomb. In the same time a masked madman follow their steps! Arghh a demented movie indeed. Horror side of movie it's destroyed from idiotic presence of criminals (the masked asshole is a Doc too, a competitor of good Doc) The mummy is lame, a poor loser. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member One of three of Portillo's mummy efforts. With a tub of guacamole, a barrel of tortilla chips and a lid of Michoacan it's sufferable. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member OO Dios! serie B mexicano y malisimo jejej bueno esta pelicula es una vil copia mal hecha por cierto del cine de terror de Hollywood, lo mejor de la pelicula cuando repeleen a la momia con uncrucifijo sin duda alguna jajaj Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
