From 1989 comes THE DEAD PIT directed by Brett Leonard and starring the late Jeremy Slate. An evil insane doctor is conducting cuckoo experiments on the patients of a mental hospital, when the good Dr. Jeremy Slate shoots him dead in order to stop his insanity, then seals him up in his hidden pit with what apears to drywall spackle. Yeah....that'll hold him in there. Fast forward twenty years later, and Jane Doe arrives at the hospital not remembering a thing about her past or who she is. An earthquake strikes and TOTALLY RUINS THE SPACKLE JOB, reopening the crypt of insanity. Can Jane Doe overcome her own murky past and her own proclivity for running through a mental hospital in a t-shirt and bikini panties?
This plot runs as insane as a Stuart Gordon film like From Beyond or Re-Animator. It's fun to watch, if you don't have any hang-ups about stories that make sense. There is a lot of style here from Brett Leonard, the acting is okay-ish, thanks mostly to Jeremy Slate, and there is plenty of gore. True horror fans should have this one on their radar.

A photographer and his bevy of models arrive in Egypt for a photoshoot and run into a treasure hunter who is searching for mummy gold. They all inadvertently revive the bandaged baddie who then proceeds to slaughter everyone, with the help of his equally undead minions.
The production went into the locations, the costumes and the special effects makeup sparing none for the cast, since no one acting in this film was by any means a familiar face. The story builds rather slowly to a climax that is equal parts gory and silly. But still, there is something charming about this movie and I rather enjoyed it. There is some decent and totally gratuitous gore in Dawn of the Mummy. Watch for actor George Peck, who plays the treasure-hunting Rick, as he overacts with extreme prejudice. It's rather hilarious.
If you don't take this too seriously at all, and go into it with an open mind with zero expectations, you may find yourself enjoying this little remembered horror flick from the early 80's.
