This movie was apparently an older film spliced with some new footage in an attempt to extend the older films run time. That is at least what it seems as this thing was a complete and utter mess as we get a film with a woman being attacked as her dog watches on, a classroom of students, another film with lots of logging and two dudes going after Bigfoot and then the film with a bunch of kids going on an archaeological trip that constitutes the majority of the film and it never bothers to wrap up the movie by flashing back to the classroom.
The story is all over the place as it starts with a teacher showing his students a horror film and then lecturing them on Bigfoot. He has a guest speaker who then tells the students about his trip that apparently sent two of the students to a mental hospital. Then we see this play out in very slow moving fashion as they find a cave, enter cave and take out mummy who turns out to be a monster!
This is a television film, so I am guessing the new footage was added to increase the movie's length so that it would run in a two hour time slot. They did manage to score one of the original actors from the film this movie gets most of its footage from as he tells the story. Like I said, the movie was most interesting when showing a monster stumble through the woods and attack a woman and that is not saying much.
So, this film has very little going for it. Just a mashup of various things thrown together in an attempt to make a longer feature film as in the 70's films with a running time of under an hour were beginning to go out of style. There is not much of a curse to this one and I just have to wonder, how did the horror they face send two of the students to the mental hospital? Seriously, the only one who was attacked at the end was the sheriff and he didn't die!
