Another diamond in the rough

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2000)

In an age of movies that try to push limits, it is nice to have a movie that just tries to tell a story and pull it off well. While there may not have been enough sex or blood-and-guts for some folk, I feel this is one of the best "scary" movies ever. I prefer to be scared a la "Rear Window" -- what is imagined is better than what is seen. "The Mummy" stirs up emotions while making one feel a part of the action -- or within the whirlwind of action as the Mummy runs amok. Can't wait for the sequel. Who cares if it wins no accolades? As long as it delivers what the first did, I will watch it -- again and again.
