This is kind of like a cheap-o version of From Dusk Til Dawn, you get the criminals and their hostage who end up in a bar in the desert full of sexy women. The women and a bunch of other patrons turn out to be vampires, so they end up fighting for their lives to escape. What makes Seven mummies unique (and also quite confusing) is that the bar is actually the saloon in some kind of magical ghost town full of people dressed like cowboys. As our anti-heroes escape from the bar, the sheriff and his deputies come after them while non of the vampires do. Strangely enough, the sheriff and his men opt for using fire-arms rather than sucking their blood so I guess they are not vampires. Well what about the mummies of the title then? They do show up, more than an hour into the film, and it turns out they are martial art, Christian monk mummies. The criminals manage to run away from the karate monk undead, only to bump into the sheriff - who seems to also be the priest considering his monologues - and have to escape from him. It's just a big mess.Other than that, the pacing isn't the best and there is a general amateurish feel to the whole thing. I think, with a more clear story line, less vampires and ninja mummies, it could have been OK, but the confusion breaks your concentration and you end up being rather bored.

Having seen a lot of B movies, I can tell you that the idea of criminals on the run with a hostage encountering supernatural horror is not an original idea. But I wouldn't have minded seeing it again had this effort been well executed - which it isn't. It's a slow-moving story, and despite the slow pace the movie doesn't try to expand on the characters very much. In fact, I don't think you even learn the names of the prisoners! Movie also suffers from setting most of the movie in near-total darkness, which makes it hard to determine at times just what is going on. The rap and thrash metal songs on the soundtrack also seem out of place.Oh, and if you are thinking of seeing this movie because you are either (or both) a fan of Danny Trejo or Billy Drago, be warned - Trejo just has basically one brief scene, and Drago's role isn't that much bigger.

This wasn't a bad movie, but the end was ridiculous! The end scene with what I assume was the sheriff was unnecessary, and repetitive.That said this wasn't a bad movie. I am a fan of B horror, and I have certainly seen worse, much worse. But there were a number of inconsistencies, that could have easily been cleared up without adding any extra time to the film; though at one hour and twenty minutes another 15 or 20 minutes to give us some backstory certainly wouldn't have made this film overly long.MY biggest complaint is what were Billy Wirth and Matt Schulze doing in this film! Both are good actors that weren't even given the chance to rise above the mediocre script.

Themovie opens with a horribly lame scene - two men in the desert, no town nearby, no horses, no provisions, and dragging a casket. Right! This is the opening to what becomes and even worse attempt at film making. Poor dialogue, poor story, unbelievable circumstance, and mediocre - at best - make up effects make this one big bomb of a stinker. Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE fan of horror and have been since near birth. Love low-budget films since they nearly all contain the raw, gritty edge that Hollywood films almost always lack. But 7 Mummies is not worth anyones time let alone the money they spent to make this. The direction is just plain bad with overly long cut scenes and poor angles that do no justice to the forced story line. Just a big bunch of YUCK!
