You guessed it kids, it's a low budget American horror comedy that desperately wants to be The Evil Dead.
It isn't, but nor is it terrible.
Yes, the dialogue is clunky (and that's being kind), and yes the acting fluctuates between very bad and truly appalling, but if that's why you watch movies you probably won't be reading a review of a movie called Ancient Evil 2 anyway. These kind of movies succeed, not because they could be made, but because they were when perhaps it was too much to ask.
It's the ambition that I love.
Well, we've only got £400 left, and we still need to make our Egyptian Mummy beast. It's this 'we don't give a damn if it looks a bit shit' attitude that really adds charm.
Ultimately then, a genuine Z-grade horror comedy, that you might find surprisingly enjoyable.
