Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - not just another mummy movie
Being a Chareston Heston ..I loved this movie!! When are they going to put it on dvd?



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Eerie

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - 'Mummy' Film Directed by Mike Newell! Now That's Something
And starring Charlton Heston! 'The Awakening' (1980) has so many potentially good elements -- look, beside Susanna York, the supports include Miriam Margolyes and Ian McDiarmid, and the camera is by veteran Jack Cardiff. Plus, the film acknowledges the cooperations from the Government of Egypt, where part of the scenes are shot. And the results are ... nothing but boring mess.

Heston's character is Matthew Corbeck, Egyptologist obssessed with the idea of the ancient Queen. As he ... Read More
