Needless to say that I had actually never heard about this 2022 horror movie from writer and director Steve Lawson titled "The Mummy: Resurrection" prior to getting to sit down here in 2023 to watch it.
I found the movie's cover interesting and since it was a movie that I had never seen or heard of before, and it being a horror movie at that, of course I opted to watch "The Mummy: Resurrection".
And I did manage to sit through the entire movie, but I was not even adequately entertained. The storyline in the movie did have some promise to it, but writer Steve Lawson just never really put any real force behind the drive, which made for a somewhat monotonous and dull movie experience. There were elements to the storyline that was interesting, for sure, but the overall impression of "The Mummy: Resurrection" was a less than mediocre movie experience.
The acting performances in "The Mummy: Resurrection" were fair enough. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, and while you're not in for a stellar top notch performance, then I will say that the cast did put on a fair enough performance. It was a rather small cast ensemble, and they were restricted by a subpar script.
Visually then "The Mummy: Resurrection" was okay. I mean, it is not an over-the-top special effects movie, and whatever little effects were there seemed to do their job well enough. It was, however, really difficult to take the mummy seriously, especially since it was a rather well-preserved, plump and pristine body for something that was supposed to have been dead for more than 4000 years.
As for "The Mummy: Resurrection" being a horror movie, no. This wasn't a horror movie, it was a supernatural drama at best, not even close to being a thriller.
My rating of "The Mummy: Resurrection" lands on a very generous four out of ten stars. The narrative in the movie was just simply too slow paced and uneventful.
