The Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb (1964)

[4]

A mummified prince is discovered and brought to England where someone resurrects it to do their evil bidding. Hammer Films follows up their 1959 remake without stars Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing. Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb treads painfully familiar ground with a dull cast and is slow-moving until the last twenty minutes. Composer Carlo Martelli tries to compensate with a musical score too bombastic for its own good. On the bright side, at least the mummy looks good.
