The three, young, beautiful daughters of the pharaoh (Hanna Harper, Nikki Love, and Violet Blueâas Ada Mae Johnson) are murdered and the killer is mummified. In modern times, they are all awakened, and the girls become dancers at a strip club. Unwrapped, they are the only ones who can stop the still bandaged mummy.
If your goal as a filmmaker is to film some beautiful girls naked, and youâve decided to toss in a mummy, couldnât you come up with a better reason for them to be in the buff than being strippers? Hey, strippers are great. Strip clubs are wonderful places and Iâm thrilled to be living at a time in history when they are plentiful. But they donât need to be in every âsoftcoreâ film.
Not that the reason for nudity is the biggest problem with Attack of the Virgin Mummies, or even the seventh biggest, but it is a good illustration of the lack of imagination at work. More damning is the lack of skill and talent, the cinematography that has much in common with a home movie, the insufficient lighting, the shoddy sets, and the complete lack of even sub par acting. But I can chalk those up to a producer and a pair of directors being clueless on how to make a film. Most people are clueless on how to make a film. But any fourteen-year-old boy, fantasizing at night, can come up with a better concept then âthe pretty girls become strippers.â
Itâs no surprise that there is no horror element to this feature, nor is there any suspense. There is an out-of-shape guy in some hastily piled on strips of cloth who walks in a jerky fashion, if that is what youâre looking for. By now, anyone interested in a monster movie should have decided to skip this one. For softcore fans, there isnât much here either. Sure, the girls are pretty, and naked, but any Playboy video can give you that along with a crew that has a vague idea on what to do with the camera. No matter what you like and what you are looking for, you wonât find it here. Move along.
