Trashy and boring

Rating: 2/10 (19 July 1999)

Very disappointed with this film. The story line was so predictable, the effects unconvincing (although the beetle burrowing its way under the skin towards the brain was good), and the scenery very cardboard looking, obviously studio and not real.
I did enjoy the line "Wait there and I shall go for help"; and also the glint of gold out of the camel's saddlebag as, at long last (and not before time), they rode off into the final sunset.
I have awarded the film 2 points, but am being slightly generous.
