Another overlooked horror from a period when horror was a not done. it's a strange flick because it was the director Tom Daley his first and last attempt to make a flick. On the other hand it doesn't contain big names it's even so that most of the actors only appeared in The Lamp. Only James Huston went further but not to mention as an actor and Red Mitchell who we can see in JFK (1991) sadly he died at the age of 33 in 1994 in a train/car collision.
Was it bad, not really, it do has some good parts like a bath scene with snakes or a body been torn in two pieces in a swimming pool. The idea is okay with the Jinn and the mummy coming alive but it's the effect used that makes it out dated. It has the so typical cheap eighties effects that it sometimes is a bit ridiculous. But it also has a bit of nudity even some gratuitous by the first girl being killed running around with bouncing boobs. But I have also to say that I sometimes was a bit bored, the Jinn wasn't scary at all. It looked fine but when you work a Jinn and a magic lamp it becomes a bit Disney.
Still, it has a proper release but is sold a bit pricey, still it's available on VHS. And don't be confused by it's second title The Outing which was also another flick from 1981 known as Scream. And not the Scream from Wes Craven. So watch out to hunt this that you have the correct flick.
