What a silly movie! An archaeologist excavates a tomb in Egypt and accidentally unleashes evil, which then follows him and his family all the way back to Manhattan.
The biggest letdown of this movie is the absolutely incoherent script, with a story that just meanders along. The jump scares didn't age well, and some of the special effects are really silly (like, creatures hanging from the ceiling where you can see the wires). There's some Fulci staples, like lots of shots of eyes, and some nice gore, and there's a really cool shot from the perspective of a snake. It has some Lucio Fulci staples (lots of shots of eyes, some nice gore), but it's overall a really bad movie, with no coherent script, and jump scares that didn't age well. Also, the score doesn't hold up to other Fulci and Giallo movies... there's cheesy saxophone tunes and less funk in the music.
All in all, a big disappointment.
