Aztecs: Ancient Evil: Scream Of The Mummy




Welcome to my two day rant against "Columbus Day."  Today is Dia de la Raza is Mexico--that day of the races....what a joke!  Staring off with a modern "Aztec Mummy" film--you know, the sort of thing you find late night on Chiller Channel.  This whole Aztec Mummy thing is so amusing to me.  I understand the original was part of a "plausible" story of the creation of an accidental mummy; but in Aztec society, basically you were either cremated (the norm) or you were coyote food (in the case of certain types of executions).  The idea of creating a mummy in the New World came from a Mestizo from Costa Rica, not a Mexican.  still, the cheesiness of the whole thing is all in good fun.  These kinds of movies are just a train wreck of bad acting...so bad it's sorta fun (not good, just fun) type of thing.  The pronunciation, or the lack thereof, of the Nahuatl language is worth the price of admission!
