The Mummy (1932)
Directed by Karl
Freund this classic Universal monster film stars Boris Karloff and
Zita Johann. An ancient Egyptian priest comes to life again thousands
of years after his death and seeks out the reincarnated soul of his
lover.
The plot of this film
is fairly similar to the other Universal monster films of the time
and you can see the foundations the 1999 remake was based on. Not
being based on a classic Gothic novel as the other Universal monster
films were this film does lack some of the depth in comparison but
otherwise is a decent monster film although one that will probably
only scare young children these days. When it comes to the special
effects used in the film they are fairly minor so mostly hold up to a
modern viewing.
3/5
