4.0 out of 5 starsGorgeous & Creepy Hammer Horror Winner.
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 6 Mar. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Hammer Film Productions rework some of the classic Universal Studios mummy material to great effect. Directed by Terence Fisher, this is not a remake of the seminal 1932 movie of the same name. Starring Peter Cushing (John Banning), Christopher Lee (Kharis/The Mummy), Raymond Huntley (Joseph Whemple) and Yvonne Furneaux (Isobel Banning/Princess Ananka), the film is written by Jimmy Sangster and was filmed at Bray & Shepperton Studios in England. Tho listed as being filmed in Technicolor, it was actually shot in Eastman Color using the Technicolor process. I mention the latter because Eastman Color has a different hue to it, something that makes this movie all the more affecting as a horror piece.

The plot sees three archaeologists (Stephen & John Banning & Joseph Whemple) desecrate the tomb of Egyptian Princess Ananka. This awakens Kharis, Ananka's blasphemous lover who was buried alive for his unlawful deeds. Taken from the tomb to London by Egyptian priest Mehemet Bey (George Pastell), the three archaeologists find they are being hunted down by the vengeful Kharis. The only salvation may come in the form of Isobel Banning who bears a striking resemblance to Princess Ananka.

This Mummy is adroitly directed by Fisher, his choreography for the action scenes is stunning. Lee's incarnation as the mouldy bandaged one is swifter than most, thus Fisher has him stalking around Victorian England one minute, then the next he's crashing thru doors or windows with brute strength. With murder his (its) only goal. It's a top performance from Lee as he really throws himself into the role, with his dead eyes ominously peering out from gauze swathed sockets sending those little shivers running down the spine.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the best mummy movies ever
By Mr. C. D. Roberts on 2 Jun. 2005
Format: DVD
This is one of the best of the Hammer Horror mummy movies which stars Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee in the title role. Lee gives one of his best fine screen performances as Kharis the mummy who is trying to revive his lost love the Princess Ananka with the scroll of life.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Daddy of Mummy Movies
By Jeremy W. Newbould on 6 Jun. 2010
Format: DVD
A vengeful Egyptian mummy called Kharis is brought back to life with a special ancient scroll and soon sets about his task of destroying all those who disturbed and desecrated the sacred burial place of his beloved Queen Ananka.

If you've only ever seen the old 1932 version of "The Mummy", starring Boris Karloff, or the big-budget, special effects-laden 1999 version, starring Brendan Fraser, then you really ought to track down and check out this 1959 version made by Hammer Studios. Why? Well, for a start, it stars Hammer's two most high-profile actors and horror film icons, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Secondly, it was directed by Hammer's greatest director (and arguably the greatest horror film director of all time), the brilliant Terence Fisher.

As for its other merits, it just happens to be one of Hammer's most visually beautiful films with its superb sets and lavish production design, particularly in the flashback scenes set in ancient Egypt, and there is a fabulous music score by Franz Reizenstein. This film also contains some splendid set-pieces and memorable imagery. I especially liked the scene where the mummy rises out of the swamp - a scene that is so simple yet so chillingly effective. There's another wonderful scene where the mummy is repeatedly blasted with a shotgun and then run through with an arrow but he still keeps advancing towards his intended victim.

The supporting cast also includes Yvonne Furneaux (whose character is a dead ringer for Queen Ananka and therefore has a certain power over the mummy), Raymond Huntley (an actor, like Lee and Cushing, who has played Dracula), and, of course, the regular Hammer actor, Michael Ripper.

For me, this is the daddy of all mummy movies (closely followed by Don Coscarelli's "Bubba Ho-Tep") and it's also one of Hammer's most impressive films.

4.0 out of 5 starsHighly recommended - classic Brit horror!
By A Customer on 20 Jan. 2005
Format: DVD
Put simply this is a true British horror gem.
'The Mummy' formed part of a classic monster 'trilogy' along with 'The Curse of Frankenstein' (utterly recommended...GO BUY!) and 'Dracula' - all of which featured the archetypal pairing of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Here Christopher Lee plays Kharis - an Egyptian priest who, through his wrongdoings, becomes mummified and is resurrected to kill those who have despoiled the ancient resting place of the Princess Ananka. The film moves along at a leisurely place and doesn't contain any ambiguity as such - it's just not-so-clean and not-so-wholesome horror-fun. Granted - it has aged in many ways yet the special effects of the Lee's 'Mummy' itself are still impressive. It's great to see him burst through doors and windows in a menacing fashion! In some ways it looks like the film was made some time after 1959.
To summarise: a classic score; tension-filled ending; impressive atmosphere; Cushing and Lee certainly on top form and that true 'British' feel about it. All I can say is that it's a shame that more special features weren't included. A trailer is a bit thin in my view. Apart from that...top stuff!

5.0 out of 5 starsAn Oustanding Restoration
By Matt on 18 Oct. 2013
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
My favourite Mummy film of all time and one of my top ten Hammer Horrors I could not be happier with this BluRay.

First of all the picture quality is stunning. I doubt the film has ever looked so good. The colours are sharp and vibrant unlike the old Warner DVD which seemed to be filmed through a brown piece of glass. The sound is crystal clear and it's packed with extras.

I could go on but don't take my word for it, just buy it. You won't be disappointed.

ps. If you read any negative comments about the quality of this release ANYWHERE, do not believe them. They must be watching through strangely coloured spectacles.
