Review of The Mummy's Ghost (1944) by Ryan V — 15 Jan 2017
An Egyptian cult is looking to reclaim the remains of an ancient princess who was stolen by American archaeologists and relocated to a museum in New England. They command the powers of an undead mummy (Lon Chaney Jr.
), but their mission is complicated once it's discovered that the princess has reincarnated into a nubile college student (Ramsay Ames). The Mummy's Ghost was released in a time where Universal was churning out its horror movies with cookie cutter scripts, tiny budgets, and no trace of the exertion that James Whale or Tod Browning brought to this sort of material in the 1930's.
While some of these films can be good for a lark, The Mummy's Ghost finds the cast and crew recycling the tropes of previous Mummy movies without any enthusiasm. One can skip The Mummy's Ghost without missing out on much.
