In 1948, Egypt, an archeological dig led by Richard Turkel reaches a tomb identified as belonging to Talos, apparently cursed.

Despite this, they open the chamber's door only to be blasted with a cloud of dust, causing the archeologists to crumble apart as if made of fragile stone.

Sam, Brad, Burke, and another member of the team break into Talos' burial chamber and see sarcophagus suspended from the ceiling.

Neighbouring countries ordered the Pharaoh to kill Talos, as all who opposed him were struck with disease or tortured into believing his theology.

Brad believes Sam is Nefriama's reincarnation and killing her is the only way to stop Talos, who plans to be reborn when the planets align.

Meanwhile, bound with rags, Sam frees herself and stumbles upon a room where a huge nest made of gauze forms a "cocoon" with dead bodies of Talos' victims lying around.

Riley and his group arrive at the construction site with eighteen minutes remaining before the planets align, and Talos regains his physical immortality.

[2] Nicholas Sylvain of DVD Verdict derided the film, saying that while it had an interesting premise, some effects were "merely bad, while others border on the ludicrous", and that the story made no sense.

[3] Martin Liebman of Blu-ray.com gave it a 2.5/5 rating, conceding that the film is technically well-done, but calling the plotting unoriginal and characters bland.

[4] Writing for ScreenAnarchy, Sebastian Zavala argued the film "might not work as a serious horror picture —it’s much too cheesy and lacking in suspense for that— or as a lighthearted adventure —it’s too self-serious—, but it’s certainly entertaining.
