Review of Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971) by Michael K — 11 Feb 2008

Entertaining adaption of more Bram Stoker from Hammer. This time the tale concerns the reanimation of a perfectly preserved female evil mummy and the possesion so to speak of the daughter of the man who discovers her, daughter being born as he uncovers the tomb! Valerie Leon is excellent in the role of the daughter and has the assests to lie there as the mummy. Pretty atmospheric in places. While it appears to be a contempory 1970's setting also could be 100 years earlier in many ways and this adds to a bizarre dislocation from the setting.

Not the strongest Hammer has to offer but entertaining all the same.
