Review of The Mummy (1959) by Eric R — 28 Sep 2013
This Hammer relaunch takes more the 1940's Mummy movies than from Karloff's classic 1932 film...which right off the bat might worry you. I was, however, pleasantly suprised with the finished product.
The Mummy is one monster than looks better in color for sure. And Christopher Lee makes the most out of what is usually a hapless role. What we are left with is probably the best Mummy film I've ever seen which, while not really saying much, is a suprise.
It takes the aspects that worked from the numerous sub-par at best Mummy sequels of the 40's and blends them together for an enjoyable enough film.
