Review – Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb

It’s like The Mummy’s Curse and The Mummy’s Tomb all rolled into one! Actually, this is a Hammer production unrelated to either previous movie except via the loose connection of theme. Here the mummy is revived to seek vengeance on those who desecrated his tomb (what a surprise). Actually, this is sort of a charming old movie in a 1960s vintage Hammer sort of way. However, you know you’re in trouble when the most sensible, most likable character is the ruthless American capitalist who wants to exploit the treasured Egyptian relics as a sideshow attraction. And you’re in even deeper trouble when the American is the first in a long line of the mummy’s victims. Mildly amusing
