The discovery of a strange coffin in the Egyptian desert leads to a mysterious rash of murders when the recovery party arrives in London, and it's eventually found to be the work of an ancient spell that reanimated the body of the pharaoh within searching for the reincarnation of his beloved from the past, leading them on a race to stop the creature's rampage. What did everyone think of this one?

Not really all that great, this one here is mostly just dull without a whole lot going on. Most of it is consumed with the handler going around making accusations against the guilty party without really letting the mummy get any kind of screen-time, mostly just propped up in his display case. Also, it commits a rather egregious sin in that the mummy is never active full-time once he's been awakened, rather going back into his catatonic resting state and remaining there until called upon, but the film does resolve itself nicely with a finale far too good to have been attached to a plodding film it came before. I'll say a very high 2, not quite a 3.
