In 1920 an archaeological expedition discovers the tomb of an ancient Egyptian child prince, but when they return home with their discovery, the expedition members soon find themselves being killed off by a mummy, which can be revived by reading the words off the prince's burial shroud. What did everyone think of this one?

Pretty much a carbon copy of the previous one, with the exact same faults and problematic areas almost verbatim. Again, it's mostly a series of warnings and threats issued against the offending party-members, the mummy being inactive until needed and being off-screen and not starting his rampage until quite late in the film and again saved by a finale far too good to belong to such a film, only this one has some more definitive positives beforehand so it manages to become a little more enjoyable effort. A solid 3.

Really enjoyed this. A perfect flick for a rainy morning,wonderful performances,moves along at a great pace( honestly felt like it went for about 10 mins). Actually I think I may have preferred it over the Cushing/Lee movie.
4 stars

I wouldn't quite go that far with it, TWD (as I have that one as the best of the 3 versions with that title) but it is enjoyable enough like you say. Just too familiar for me to go higher than I did.
