“The Mummy: Resurrection” (* out of four) was a lifeless “horror” thriller about a scheming huckster (Chris Bell) who uncovers a cursed Egyptian mummy and then becomes obsessed with unearthing the mummified princess who is buried within it but this eventually leads to all Hell breaking loose. It’s unclear if this is related to or a spin-off of the lucrative “Mummy” series or an insulting cash-in on simply using the title. Probably the latter because the movie has about as much mummy action and scares as your average soap opera on television. This stupefyingly dull entry makes any of the other “Mummy” entries and the Tom Cruise remake look like Oscar fare by comparison.
