Review of The Mummy (1999) by Jonas C — 14 Feb 2012
The Mummy takes place in Egypt, where more than 3,000 years ago, the high priest Imhotep was given the very important task of preparing the recently dead for their journey to the beyond. However, Imhotep made one terrible mistake - he became smitten with Anck-Su-Namun, mistress of the Pharaoh himself.
Crazed with jealousy and love, Imhotep murdered the Pharaoh, and his punishment was to be buried alive and suffer the torment of an eternal life in his wretched tomb. In 1925, a group of adventurers in search of fame and fortune - led by Rick O'Connell, an American expatriate who joined the Foreign Legion, and Evelyn Carnahan, an amateur archeologist - find a previously unknown burial site in Egypt.
The team starts to dig, hoping to find lost riches, but rather than disturb the tomb of Imhotep, and soon the cursed priest rises from his grave to destroy revenge against humanity.
