Wild Eye Releasing, with sales and distribution support
provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has selected May 9 as the debut date for
DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack editions of director Charles Pinion’s American
Mummy.
The timing for this release is spot-on as the Tom Cruise/Sofia
Boutella mega-budget film release of, The Mummy, will arrive in theatres
on June 9.
Professor Jenson (Suziey Block — Wonder Valley, Meaning of
Violence, etc.) leads her students on what should be a routine “dig” in
the New Mexico desert, but it soon becomes anything but that. Of course genre fans will recognize this
assembly of “students” as the victim pool … and sure enough victims they are.
At this particular dig they’ve found a mummy, which is
decked out with a death mask (Aztec in origin) made of a human skull. It shouldn’t be where they’ve found it, so
instead of returning to campus, Jenson and some eager volunteers decide to stick
around for an extra few days to see what they can turn up at this very peculiar
dig. Why here?
Among their group is Carmen (Esther Canata), a graduate
student specializing in Aztec rituals. And
sure enough, before you can say “hocus pocus” she tries one out and Shazam! — The
spirit of Tezcalipoca is set loose upon Jenson and her students!
As to bonus goodies, the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack edition
includes both 3D and 2D presentations of American Mummy, plus there are
outtakes and a behind-the-scenes production featurette.
