Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

AaronCapenBanner Lon Chaney Jr. returned for the last time as Kharis the living mummy, who is unearthed(along with his beloved Princess Ananka) from their swampy grave by builders excavating the area for re-development. Once again, a high priest(played by Peter Coe) and his native assistant(played by Martin Koslek) are after them as well, and want to return them to their native Egypt, but local Scripps Museum representatives have other ideas, leading to a final climax to the "saga"... Bizarre film is set 25 years after "Ghost", placing this in the year 1995!(Or so)Huh? It still looks like the 1940's to me! Even worse, the previous two pictures were set in Mapleton Massachusetts, now they are located in Louisiana! Huh? It makes no sense, and poor continuity only makes this tired, dated and redundant film worse.

JoeB131 This was a sequel to the Mummy's Ghost, which didn't even try to be accurate in the continuity area.Mummy's Ghost and Mummy's Tomb took place in Massachusetts, but inexplicably, we are now in Louisiana. Unless the Mummy got tired of chowder and wanted some gumbo, this doesn't make sense. Can you make Gumbo with Tana leaves?Nor would the Scripp Museum's interest in the Princess's mummy. That was destroyed. The only think in this swamp should be the corpse of the poor girl who died in "Mummy's Ghost", who was played by a totally different actress. (they couldn't get the sameactress again? The movies were only made a few months apart.) So this is 25 years after the Mummy's Ghost, even though technology hasn't changed much. While draining the swamp, they uncover the mummies, which the cult of Arkham is looking for, too.You just can't watch these things without feeling pity for Lon Chaney, Jr., who saw himself as a dramatic leading actor, and got typecast into this kind of horror schock.You know, I'm noticing a pattern in these movies is that all the middle eastern characters are not only portrayed as bad guys but almost always as potential rapists.

bkoganbing With The Mummy's Curse Universal Pictures finally put an end to the Kharis the Mummy films which had gotten sillier with each sequel. With this futuristic Mummy film they reached what they thought was the bottom.When we last left Lon Chaney, Jr., as Kharis in The Mummy's Ghost he was taking his reincarnated Princess Ananka into the swamps where he was sinking into the bog as the film ended. Twenty five years later which would put it in 1969 the swamp which was in Massachusetts, but now in Louisiana is being drained.For a film that was set in the future, Universal did absolutely no speculation about what 1969 would look like. People dress the same, have the same rides and television which people knew was on the horizon is not accounted for at all.Anyway the Kharis/Ananka cult hears about the swamp drain in Egypt and once again a pair of handlers is now sent to get Kharis and Ananka back to Egypt. The handlers are Peter Coe and Martin Kosleck. And the usual chaos and mayhem is created by Chaney killing everyone between him and Ananka. The bulldozers draining the swamp have also unearthed Ananka and she's played by Virginia Christine and she's alive, part in the 20th century, part in ancient Egypt. The reunion doesn't quite go as planned for the two lovebirds to say the least.This was the end of the 'serious' Mummy films for Universal. The Mummy would have one more go, but it would be eleven years later and only as a foil for Abbott&Costello which is what happened to all the Universal Gothic horror pantheon. The Mummy's Curse mercifully ended the saga on a low note, but I will say the film had a few good if unintentioned laughs.

sol1218 ***SPOILERS*** Long awaited squeal to the film "The Mummy's Ghost" that was released some six months later has the Mummy Prince Kharis, Lon Chaney Jr, back from the dead looking for his love the beautiful Princess Ananka, Virginia Christine, who he's been estranged from for some 3,000 years! Now with the help of modern Egyptian high priest, masquerading around town as an archaeologist, Dr. Llzor Zandaad, Peter Coe, and his loyal henchman Reheb, Martin Kosleck, Kharis is brought back to life with the fluid of the ancient Egyptian Tana Leaves so he can be reunited with Princess Ananka and finally become Mr & Mrs Mummy.It's been some 20 years since Kharis and the Princess were swallowed up by the Louisiana swamps as they were chased by any angry mob of local Cajuns who just had about enough of them and, on Kharis's part, their murderous antics. Now brought back to life Kharis is, with Dr. Llzor's help, more then ever determined to get his Princess back and together with her get on the first boat back to Cairo Egypt even if it kills him, and anyone who dares to stands in his way, to do it!Incredibly slow moving with his body bandaged up from head to toe it's amazing that Kharis could catch anyone in the movie even if they were just standing still! In fact Kharis' first victim Michael, William Farnm, the self-appointed caretaker of the monastery that Kharis, with the help of Dr. Llzor & Reheb, made his home just stood there with him not as much as moving a muscle until Kharis got his hands on him! As Kharis was soon to find out that as much as he wanted Princess Ananka she seemed totally uninterested in him. Having like Khris come back from the dead the Princess got the hang of modern living, with all its conveniences, and had no interest of going back to jolly old Egypt to spent the rest of eternity with Kharis sealed up in an air-tight ancient Egyptian burial chamber!***SPOILER*** It was the sneaky and sex crazed Reheb in him wanting to get it on with Dr. James Halsey's, Dennis Moore, pretty assistant Betty Walsh (Kay Harding), who both discovered the amnesic Princess Anana in the Louisiana swamps, that in the end spoiled everything! Not being able to control his overactive libido Reheb made a mess of everything in defiling, by his uncontrollable lust, the laws of Amon-Ra the ancient Egyptian God and was made to pay the consequences for doing that. But not until Reheb finished off his "Master" Dr. Llzor and destroyed the Tana Leaves that kept Khris alive. Mad as hell and not going to take it anymore in Rebeb making a monkey out of him Khrais went totally berserk not only doing Rebeb in but himself as well!P.S In the flashbacks in the movie Khris is played by the legendary Boris Karloff in clips from Karloff's original 1932 Mummy classic aptly titled "The Mummy".
