Review of The Mummy (1959) by Will B — 06 Oct 2009
Ive never been that big on The Mummy. But when you get Terence Fisher, Christoper Lee and Peter Cushing together its pretty safe to assume that what your going to watch is going to be no less than great. And great this one is. The sets, the lighting is all pure Hammer atmosphere. I have to say, Lee is by far the most menacing looking Mummy to date. As he smashes through windows, doors and even barred mental institue windows. The atmosphere is thick, lots of green lit swamps of gothic England, red and blue lit tombs of Egypt.
Fuck Brandon Fraiser and his ass bag Mummy series, this is what a Mummy film is supposed to be! A definate essential to anyones Hammer Library!
