Popular college jock Reggie Skulnick (Anothony Michael Hall in fine and engaging form) enlists the assistance of nerdy student Stella Bishop (winningly played with considerable geeky'n'gawky charm by the cute Nina Siemaszko) to help him pass a crucial final exam for an Egyptology class that's taught by the pompous Professor Finley (a spot-on smarmy portrayal by Jeffrey Jones). However, Finley has other much more sinister plans in mind for Stella. Writer/director Jeffrey Boam relates the enjoyable story at a snappy pace, maintains a serious tone throughout, and tosses in a few bits of nasty gore for good measure. Moreover, the cast act with real aplomb, with Hall in particular a definite slimy stand-out as one extremely sneaky and conniving little weasel. The lanky Ivan E. Roth makes for a cool'n'creepy monster as a lethal shambling mummy. Rick Bota's slick cinematography provides a pleasing glossy look while Jay Ferguson's exotic score gives everything an extra flavorsome kick. A worthwhile show.
