The premise
A group of high school students on an archaeological dig discover a centuries old mummified body in a sealed cave. Removing the mummy, it soon comes back to life, revealing itself to be an inhuman beast that terrorizes a small California town.
Horror Vault's take
When a high school archaeology field trip unearths a mummified body sealed deep within a cave, the students unwittingly unleash something far older and far deadlier than any fossil. What shambles out of the darkness is no relic for a museum — it's a living nightmare hungry for the California countryside. Framed partly through flashback and classroom retelling, this low-budget 1970s creature feature leans hard into its shaggy, drive-in charm.
