The Mummy (1959)
Directed by Terence
Fisher this film stars Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Yvonne
Furneaux and George Pastell. 1895, in Egypt a team of British
archaeologists uncover the tomb of a lost princess but are warned
against disturbing it due to an ancient curse.
Being fairly well made
this is another average monster horror from the Hammer Horror studio
and you can see it's influence on the more recent 1999 film of the
same name. Where the film falls down slightly is that there are long
flash back exposition sequences that could probably have been handled
better. Generally the film is well made for it's low budget and does
a good job of capturing the Egyptian locations.
3/5
