Review of The Mummy

The Mummy (1959)
9/10
One of the best Hammer classics ever made. The best of the "Mummys"
2 March 2009
This was the best of all the "Mummy" movies ever made. It was crafted with the finesse so lacking today. Regrettably, it the sort of film most likely to be dismissed, because it wasn't made in the 1930's or recent times.

Lee's Kharis was incredible, and very scary, esp. with his first appearance.

Great movie. All the characters were very well cast and directed. This had the same quality as the previous two Hammer remakes, on Frankenstein, and Dracula.

Unfortunately, what would follow in the years to come would not have the same quality.
