3.0 out of 5 starsStoker's story given a Hammer makeover.
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 11 April 2011
Format: DVD
Blood from the Mummy's Tomb is out of Hammer Film Productions and is directed by Seth Holt. It's adapted for the screen by Christopher Wickling from the novel The Jewel of Seven Stars written by Bram Stoker. It stars Valerie Leon, Andrew Keir, Mark Edwards, James Villiers, Hugh Burden and Aubrey Morris. Music is by Tristram Cary and photography by Arthur Grant. Plot sees Egyptologist's unearth the tomb of evil Queen Tera and quickly find themselves up to their necks in death and reincarnation nastiness.

Released as the support feature to Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde, Blood from the Mummy's Tomb became notable for its troubled production. Peter Cushing was cast as Julian Fuchs but after only one day's filming had to leave the production to be with his gravely ill wife. The part was filled by Andrew Keir. Tragedy struck the production with only one week of filming left, when director Seth Holt died on set of a heart attack, he was 48 years old. Michael Carreras (The Curse of Frankenstein/The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb) came in and took control for the last week of filming. Budgeted at just £200,000 the film was not made at the usual Hammer Studio in Bray, but at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire.

In spite of its production problems and wee budget, this fourth Mummy offering from Hammer is surprisingly good fun. It doesn't boast the great sets that the others had, and no star wattage in the cast to grab the attention of the passer by, but it's nicely polished, well acted and has a good source story to work from. The horror elements are a little tame, yet this is offset by tight atmospherics and a dream like sense of dread that pervades the unfolding story. Nothing wrong with the acting either.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsYummy Mummy
By Jeremy W. Newbould on 29 May 2010
Format: DVD
Voluptuous Valerie Leon stars in this 1971 film which was Hammer's fourth and final mummy movie (to date, anyway). The film is based on the Bram Stoker story "The Jewel Of The Seven Stars" and is basically about the daughter of an archaeologist called Professor Fuchs (I'd better make sure I've spelt that name properly) who becomes possessed by the spirit of an ancient Egyptian queen called Tera.

This is probably the weakest of all of Hammer's mummy movies but it is still worth a look. Valerie Leon is pretty good in the dual roles of Margaret Fuchs and Tera and looks gorgeous even though she had to wear a wig which she hated. Valerie also appeared in Carry On films and Bond movies and is also fondly remembered (by me, at least) as the "Hai Karate" girl. "Blood From The Mummy's Tomb" must be her most high-profile film part though.

This particular film is probably most famous for the bad luck that was attached to it. The original director, Seth Holt, died from a heart attack before the film was completed and had to be replaced by Michael Carreras. The part of Professor Fuchs was originally meant to be played by Peter Cushing but he had to pull out following the death of his wife. His part then went to another great Hammer film actor, Andrew Keir.

Despite all of these things happening the end result is not too bad at all and the film is quite entertaining on the whole. Horror film buffs may wish to note that one of the characters in this film is called Tod Browning, presumably after the director of old horror classics such as "Dracula" (the 1931 version with Bela Lugosi), "Freaks" and "Mark Of The Vampire".

It's also worth noting that "Blood From The Mummy's Tomb" was remade in 1980 as "The Awakening", a film so incredibly dull that sitting through it was akin to being mummified (I imagine)!

5.0 out of 5 starsDay of the Jackal
By Paul Ess. on 21 Feb. 2009
Format: DVD
Stylish thriller from the inventive pen of Christopher Wicking, who also wrote the schizo-horror 'Demons of the Mind' for Hammer, and the rubato Price/Lee/Cushing updating of the Frankenstein story, 'Scream and Scream Again'.
Wicking's forte seems to be taking traditional themes and stereotypes and subverting them, seemingly superficially, but with an interesting, insidious edge.
Here for example, we have a mummy movie without a mummy (in the accepted sense), but everything else besides: desecration, curses, sacred scrolls, reincarnation, possession, revenge; all the requisite ingredients are active and abundant. All we're lacking is a dim, 7 foot galoot looking like he's just escaped from the nearest NHS burns unit..
It's no loss, in fact it's not that much of a departure. Karloff was only briefly bandaged in the 30's version (still the best by a yard) and 'BFTMT' does buck its own trend with a fine, almost conciliatory ending.

Meanwhile, the bulk of 'BFTMT' is very good. Valerie Leon is excellent (though strangely sexless...me?) in the dual role of Margaret - daughter of grumpy Egyptologist Julian Fuchs; and Tera - the mystical hieroglyph harpy who possesses her and lands her with a throbbing 3,000 year old itch to rule the world.
Tera is a ruthless force of nature. Aided by plummy James Villiers as the dastardly Corbeck, an ex-colleague of Margaret's father, she cuts a bloody swathe through the game, but unfortunate, Brit character actors lined up in front of her like resignedly doomed dogs on a Korean market.
And the murder scenes are brilliantly executed: one in an asylum, another in a refreshingly different dark alley and finally at a frenzied medium's parlour.Read more ›
