jadflack-22130 Another unimpressive Paul Naschy Spanish horror film, this is pretty much like most other Mummy films, dull and predictable.The Mummy for me , is the least interesting of the Horror " Icons"and easily the best Mummy film is Hammer's 1959version with Christopher Lee playing the creature as it should be, strong, relentless and menacing.The Naschy film has some unconvincing gore effects,has low production values, but to be fair the print i saw was good for what it is.Paul Naschy has the double role of playing the Mummy and a mysterious Egyptian as Karloff did over 40 years before him and more convincingly. Fair.

christopher-underwood I don't really want to be too harsh on this film because it did have its moments, a cast of lovelies and a London location. Also, surely anyone watching a Paul Naschy knows pretty much what to expect. Average acting, wooden sets, predictable storyline... and yet it is likable enough. Far too many short and unnecessary scenes that far from taking the story forward simply slow it down and people like Helga Line, great though she is, could have been so much more profitably employed had she been given more of the action. But then, this is a Paul Naschy film and wouldn't have that distinctive feel to it if it were any other way and he certainly has his fans.

lastliberal Even as they bury Amenhotep (Paul Naschy), his mind is alive and plotting revenge.Professor Stern (Jack Taylor) finds him thousands of years later. Little does he know what is in store for him.Naschy shows up again in current time from Egypt with Rina Ottolina, and they set out to bring Amenhotep and his concubine back to life.There are lots of throat slashings and crushed skulls along the way.Unfortunately, it would not be interesting to anyone who is not a Paul Naschy aficionado. There just wasn't that much excitement to sustain anyone else.

bfan83 Along with THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE DARK and VENGEANCE OF THE ZOMBIES, this is another interesting effort in Paul Naschy's catalog. In the beginning, he plays a homicidal Pharoah during ancient Egypt, who along with his equally sick wife, sacrifice virgins in order to obtain immortality. They are put to death for their heinous crimes. His vows revenge. Several thousand years later, his tomb is disturbed by a husband and wife archaeological team. He is soon revived and convinces his blood relative (also played by Naschy) to kill young virgins in order for his ancestor to return to life, in the flesh. A colleague of Naschy's and his wife soon discover something isn't right and they begin their own investigation, which leads to a pretty neat showdown with the mummy. At times, the violence is very effective, mostly consisting of gruesome throat slashing. The only real "let-downs" are the poorly dubbed growling of the mummy. It sounds like he is in mid-orgasm. Instead of the moments being tense, I found myself laughing at the horrible dubbing. The only other "let-down" is it is quite obvious that all the gore scenes were horribly cut down. Hopefully one day, THE MUMMY'S REVENGE will see an uncut DVD release. This film deserves to be re-discovered. Once again, Paul Naschy turns in a good dual-role performance. He shows that he is quite capable of playing other characters besides Waldemar Daninsky. THE MUMMY'S REVENGE is quite difficult to track down. It's been out-of-print for many years, and seems to have virtually disappeared off the face of the planet. However, horrortheatervideo.com, and sinistercinema.com both carry it in bootleg editions. The quality is far from great, but for any fan of Spanish horror, or any self-respecting fan of Paul Naschy, it's definitely worth the search. Seek it out.
