Average entertainment

Rating: 7/10 (19 December 1999)

The Karl Freund classic has been remade as a movie that is more Indiana Jones than horror. A distinctly juvenile approach definitely ruins this for fans of horror movies. What is left is just an average adventure film. Excellent Jerry Goldsmith score, though. The state-of-the-art sound mix and special effects make it enjoyable for Dolby Surround addicts and sfx fans.
