Russell Mulcahy’s Tale of the Mummy
The curse is legend. The terror is real.
Directed by Russell Mulcahy
Produced by 7th Voyage, Centurion
A supernatural horror-adventure built on ancient curse mythology, where greed awakens a bloodthirsty mummy and dooms those who disturb his tomb.
Centuries ago, under the sands of ancient Egypt, a Prince was buried and his tomb eternally cursed so that no man would ever again suffer from his evil ways. But hundreds of years later on a greedy search for treasure, a group of archaeologists break the cursed seal of the tomb. Every man vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only a log book, and a deadly warning of the legend of the bloodthirsty Talos.
