Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Rainey Dawn I was hoping this was going to be one of those so bad but so much fun to watch film but it isn't. Nice Egyptian sets and only a couple of scenes that are interesting and that's it. The movie is drab, the story is below average. The mummy isn't your bandage wrapped mummy instead it's old age of one of the characters (one of the curses).There are many older mummy movies that are actually very fun to watch - and I can easily recommend most any of them but not this film Pharaoh's Curse of Boredom. I still recommended one to watch the older Universal Mummy movies and the Hammer Mummy films - those are actually enjoyable, fun to watch movies with more mummy action going on, plus the stories are not so dull.3.5/10

MartinHafer Logically, you'd think that a horror movie would have lots of tension and excitement. Well, think of "Pharaoh's Curse" as a film that defies logic! It's excruciatingly dull from start to finish and I can't see any reason to recommend it. It's not even fun like a bad movie--it's just dreadfully uninteresting.The film begins at a British outpost in Egypt. An officer is ordered to track down an unauthorized archaeological expedition and force them to return to Cairo. On the way, this tiny group of British soldiers meets up with a loopy Egyptian lady who promises bad things will occur if they don't stop the expedition...and soon. Unfortunately, they arrive too late. The archaeologists not only discovered the Pharaoh's tomb but they've opened it and unleashed bad stuff. Specifically, a member of the group is turned into a dessicated mummy-like guy who kills and apparently cannot be killed.All this sounds pretty exciting...but it isn't. Nothing happens until very late in the film and as a result, I was half asleep when the action (such as it is) began. It also didn't help that the acting and script were also poor. Not terrible...just nothing to make it of any interest to anyone but someone trying to get rid of their insomnia! Dull, dull, dull in every way. And the ending....very, very unsatisfying.By the way, I liked watching the guy sucking out the scorpion venom from its victim. What a dodo and about as effective as pouring sauerkraut on her head to treat the wound!

nova-63 First up, the only reason I am writing this review is I fear the low rating the movie has will drive some viewers away. A 4.2 rating implies junk and that is not the case at all.The opening sequence showing the civil unrest in Egypt is well done and gives a nice back drop to the ensuing story. I won't repeat the synopsis which many have covered, except to say it is a little different, which is welcomed. The leads, particularly Mark Dana were quite good and earnest in their performances. The film manages to build suspense nicely and the short run time is probably a help.The negatives are it doesn't have the glitz of a Hammer flick and there is zero gore that modern horror fans require. Also the Mummy is not in the film at all during the first half of the picture. This is no masterpiece by any means, but it is a well made low budget monster movie from the 1950's. If you love old B movies from the 1950's then this is a nice way to spend 75 minutes.

jc1b7 I saw this movie last weekend and it is silly and mindless. An ancient curse turns a man into a mummy in his pajamas? The victims are scared senseless and can not run from a slow moving old man. They drop their torches and shiver instead of attempting to ward him off or,duh, burn him. Quentin alias Mr. Fabersham of the Honeymooners is married to Diane Brewster alias Miss Canfield of Leave it to Beaver fame, who is unhappy in marriage. Wow, love plot. The rest of the cast just follows each other in the tombs and wait for screams to react and run to their aid. The Egyptian girl is not bad looking but does not lend much to the film. Where is the mummy? Really just a curse unleashed. This does not hold a torch to Universal Mummy films in the least.Watch this movie if you need sleep, because you will dose off.
