Overview

Centuries ago, under the sands of ancient Egypt, a Prince was buried and his tomb eternally cursed so that no man would ever again suffer from his evil ways. But hundreds of years later on a greedy search for treasure, a group of archaeologists break the cursed seal of the tomb. Every man vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only a log book, and a deadly warning of the legend of the bloodthirsty Talos.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A pulpy adventure-horror hybrid where treasure hunters face supernatural consequences for disturbing an ancient evil. It trades scares for action-movie thrills and the guilty pleasure of watching hubris punished.
