Sands of Oblivion

Iraq military logistics veteran Mark Tevis joins disabled grandfather George, who finally pursues his lifelong dream: digging up in a Californian desert, the film set for legendary epic films Director Cecil B. DeMille's Biblical The Ten Commandments (1923), which he saw as the young son of the location scout. They find a box containing George's childhood treasure, including an amulet. This unleashes a curse from early Phanaonic times, liberating the monster henchman of the evil god Seth, who starts by ripping off George's arm, a fatal wound. Expedition leader Alice hires Mark to speed up the emergency dig, but the entire crew is terrorized by the curse. Her nearly divorced husband Jesse Carter deciphers the atypical hieroglyphs, but is possessed himself.
