5/10
Decent Capulina movie, uninteresting mummy flick.
20 May 2023
Kind of in the upper ranking of the Capulina movies due to the bigger and more elaborate production values but somewhat underwhelming if you are looking for a straight monster movie even if its quick pace and the performance by the main actor make it entertaining. It's really more of a commercial for Guatemala.

The mummies themselves have very sporadic appearances but the filmmakers realize the gold mine they are sitting in by the end of the film and the climax actually features some neat comedic monster action, otherwise, we are left with a routinary and witless vehicle for Capulina. Not as consistent with its jokes as the Viruta/Gómez Bolaños era was and it's not as action driven as the typical mexican B-movie featuring monsters, so it just pales in comparison to some other flicks of its kind, although, it is a rather watchable outing with a few memorable sequences that redeem it. About as well done as a Capulina movie can be.

Overall, mostly stale and carried by its few mummy scenes. Recommended for mexican horror movie completists or if you wanna see a very peculiar version of this type of creature.
