random_avenger A totally off-the-wall low-budget Brazilian horror-comedy about a mad scientist (Wilson Grey) who revives an ancient mummy Runamb (Anselmo Vasconcelos) who starts immediately killing men and kidnapping women. Further adding to the character gallery are the professor's frustrated blonde wife Gilda (Clarice Piovesan), his deranged assistant Igor (Felipe Falcao), a horny maid named Regina (Regina Casé) and two journalists investigating the crime spree.I'm not sure if the craziness is intentional stylization or just ineptitude, maybe both? Technically it's hardly high quality: the film keeps alternating between colour and B&W, always staying very faded and grainy throughout. The story keeps jumping to and fro using various techniques from colourful flashbacks to old newsreel footage of a totally unrelated beauty contest, the pacing is seemingly random, the plentiful nudity is exploitative and the acting is laughable. Still, the movie is funny as hell! Bizarre, psychedelic, trashy... Perfect midnight movie experience!

m67165 This is delirious! I hear it attracted big crowds when it first came out. The masses are right, folks: this is fun! Movie buffs will recognize the director likes movies of all kinds, from popular to post-modern. Fans of Trashy Horror Comedies will laugh out loud.

Jens-28 Unlike most of American horror comedies of the 80's this Brazilian gem delivers. "Secret Of The Mummy" will also threaten your sanity: yes, there IS a mummy but also a mad scientist sidekick, Igor, who's absolutely deranged (and horny)! Like Mexican horrorfilms Brazil also believes in overkill, this flick includes stockfootage of an old Miss Brazil contest, cannibalism + nudity and sex galore. Cardoso was a assistant director to Jose Mojica Marins (Coffin Joe) which explains the creative resourcefulness to the material. If you're unfamiliar with South American Trash Cinema this one will blow your mind! And it's funny, too!!
