This was the final Hammer film that was shot at Bray Studios which ended a 16 year association.
In the 1920's an expedition finds the tomb of a child prince and bring it back to London, or should I say they attempt to. Before they can leave Egypt they discover that a mummy is killing members of the party one by one. It seems that by reading the words on the burial shroud, a mummy who protects the child prince come to life and kills the desecraters.
watching the Mummy open it's long dead eyes with the dirt falling off of the eyelids is a classic scene, and the mummy is a scary looking thing that kills in many ghastly ways.
Andre Morell is the leader of the expedition who dies first, and the rest of the cast is top notch as well and includes John Phillips, David Buck, Michael Ripper, Elizabeth Sellars, Maggie Kimberly and Dickie Own as the Mummy named Prem.
This is a fun film an very good for cold Saturday morning viewings. Recommended!
