In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Mummy (1932)
An American horror directed by Karl Freund, starring Boris Karloff.
Some archaeologists dig up a mummy that was buried alive and a magic scroll that was buried with him. The scroll brings the mummy back to life and he tries to reclaim his reincarnated girlfriend. Unfortunately for him, she already has a boyfriend.
This film was created to raise The Munny. It's widely well known, so lots of people have seen it and it only lasts an hour and 10 minutes. It was a success for the filmmakers, but not the viewers. The plot and characters barely have time to develop, but at least it doesn't waste tons of time. I'm rating it poor.
