The Mummy Reviews

While not quite in the same league as the Frankenstein films and Dracula, having a few scenes that drag and one or two of the dialogue-heavy scenes feeling repetitive, The Mummy is still creepy and very effective even now. The sets are still wonderfully extravagant as are the costumes and the cinematography is stunning. James Dietrich's score is very haunting, the script in general is poetic and the story complete with a superb beginning and ending and of one where Imhotep permits his love to relive her past is interesting. The acting is fine, Edward Van Sloan gives one of his better performances here, while Zita Johann is beautiful and in a unique and stunning way. Stealing the film, in a very powerful and magnetic performance is Boris Karloff. All in all, a very good film, not quite a masterpiece but it is the best Mummy film by far. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Boris Karloff was fresh off of Frankenstein and was ready to do the Mummy he was probably the first actor to play to off the most imitated monsters in cinema but don't be fooled this mummy doesn't stay in it bandages all the time and it doesn't kills people mindlessly most of the time he's unwrapped and doesn't kill a lot of people as expected is an unusual type of horror some say it's a love story that last a thousand years the Mummy is trying to resurrect his dead princess from her tomb the cool scene where you see how the mummy is being wrapped because he broke into the princess the cool thing is this Mummy movie does not have any sequels unless you count The Mummy's Hands The Mummy Tomb The Mummy Curse and The Mummy Ghosts but it follow a different Mummy name Kharis who does mindlessly kill people!
