Review of The Mummy's Curse (1944) by Ken S — 09 Nov 2014
The Mummy movies have now entered a weird timeline. Each movie ends up taking place decades after the last. Tomb was 30 years after Hand, Ghost was 4 years after Tomb....now we enter the final Classic Mummy film.
..which takes place 25 years after the events of Ghost. The world hasn't progressed much in nearly 60 years...in fact it's still the mid-40s! Beyond the strange time jumps the writers took with the series.
..they didn't do a whole lot new in any of the films (unless you count an inexplicable change of location to Louisiana). Lon Chaney, Jr. returns to the role of Kharis for one last time...and it is pretty much more of the same.
The Mummies (due to the events of the last film there is a female mummy this...so there is that) returns from the swamp to lumber around town for a bit before being ultimately done in. The Mummy films remained more predictable than most of the other films in Universal Monster series.
