Reviews
The Curse of King Tut's Tomb has received predominantly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike, reflected in its modest IMDb rating of 4.8/10. Critics have noted that while the film attempts to blend horror with the mystery of ancient Egypt, it falls short due to its dated special effects and slow pacing. For example, Rotten Tomatoes does not have a dedicated score for the film, but user reviews often comment that the movie feels more like a typical made-for-TV production than an enthralling cinematic experience. Many viewers appreciate Eva Marie Saint's performance, considering her presence a highlight. However, the screenplay and direction have been criticized for lacking depth and failing to build suspense effectively. On Metacritic, the film doesnโt have an official aggregate score either, but in retrospectives, it's described as a campy, somewhat forgettable take on the mummy/curse genre. Despite its flaws, some horror and adventure fans find nostalgic value in the movie, especially for its classic tropes and atmosphere reminiscent of 1980s TV films.
