Cheap, badly acted, poorly made Mummy/Zombie film, that plays like the soft version of a porn film - no plot drive or narrative, inconsistent editing and a dire script with non-actors delivering the lines.
The story has American fashion models in Egypt for a fashion shoot - the location promises flimsy see-through dresses but their is little on show for the dirty mac brigade.
Climax of the film introduces the zombie theme, with the Mummy's dead followers wrecking havoc on a nearby town in revenge for the desecration of their master's tomb. These scenes manage to be reasonably effective, but overall the film is flawed and seems to have been thrown together in unequal proportions.
