The Mummy Theme Park

The Mummy Theme Park is a 2000 horror adventure film from Italy, made in English, and was directed, produced, and co-written by Alvaro Passeri. It tells the story of an underground amusement park in Egypt constructed over a pharaoh’s tomb, where a curse causes the park’s animatronic mummies to come alive and cause destruction.

Nekhebet, a descendant of Cleopatra named for an Egyptian goddess, wants to restore ancient Egyptian culture, religion, and monarchy. She prays to Osiris and Ra, triggering an earthquake that opens a crack in the desert and reveals an underground necropolis containing the tomb of a pharaoh who once ruled all of Egypt. Greedy businessman Sheik El Sahid orders the tomb opened, despite warnings from his associate Professor Mason about hieroglyphics that describe a curse. El Sahid turns the site into a subterranean theme park called the Mummy Theme Park and invites American photographer Daniel Flynn and his assistant Julie to promote it.

At El Sahid’s palace, Nekhebet shows them to their rooms, though she rejects El Sahid’s advances. Angered by Julie’s ignorance of Egyptian culture, Nekhebet asks Osiris to punish Julie and Daniel. Daniel later finds a souvenir wrapped in papyrus thrown through his window. The next day, El Sahid gives Daniel and Julie a behind-the-scenes tour, showing how ancient mummies are fitted with animatronic parts and microchips controlled from a monitoring room. They also take an educational train ride about ancient Egyptian life. When a guard discovers Nekhebet’s plan to sabotage the park, she prays to Osiris, and the guard turns into a snake.

Daniel brings the papyrus to Professor Mason, who translates it as a warning about the curse, stating the park offends the pharaohs’ memory. Nekhebet activates a robot-enhanced mummy, which kills several guards with a sword before vanishing through a portal. Daniel and Julie photograph scenes on the ride, including one where riders meet the pharaoh. Daniel’s camera flash malfunctions the pharaoh-mummy’s microchip, and it chases them. Cornered, the pharaoh is distracted by Julie’s breasts, allowing Daniel to pour acid on it, dissolving its wraps and skin. The skeleton continues chasing them until Daniel crushes it with a rock. Guards find them and bring them to El Sahid, who apologizes.

The next day, El Sahid stages a photoshoot with the pharaoh-mummy and Professor Mason,
