My Review:

The Mummy's Hand was overall pretty good for being a B horror movie with the over use of the comic relief characters, a stupid MacGuffin, plot device, and a some noticeable plot elements that seem no reason to be there being the only real issues with the movie. The comic relief characters are not bad in this film but are over used they can make some scenes drag on longer than it needed to be but overall I found them to be entertaining and not too annoying. As for the MacGuffin, the vial and leaves of immorality are only really there for to push the mummy scenes along and give the mummy a reason to kill people and it's a little confusing how the immortality works. Also the movie seems to bring up plot elements that either do not get resolved or just come up from no were for no reason. With the issues I brought up I still found this movie enjoyable to watch. The plot for the most part was good and the acting is good for a b-movie. I would recommend this movie to any b-movie fan, if your looking for a movie with serious plot watch something else this movie is not it.
