aka Bram Stoker’s Legend of the Mummy
Art Historian Robert gets a surprise visit from a chauffeur and a call from his ex-girlfriend Margaret asking if he can come to visit immediately. Her father was attacked and they need his help. When Robert arrives, he discovers her father is unconscious in the study with a doctor and head of security.
Security thinks Margaret was with him when he was attacked since he was talking to her. But a tape recorder on the desk reveals special instructions were being dictated if something happened to him. the tape says two people must watch him at all times, his body and artifacts can’t be moved from the study, and the key must stay attached to his wrist. I can’t help but think what if they didn’t listen to the tape?
It turns out her father wants to resurrect an Egyptian queen and there is a mummy hiding in the basement. Oh, do we see a lot of good killer mummy action? No, we do not. We are more likely to see Margaret stare at people and hypnotize them into doing things.
This movie clocks in at around 100 minutes which is far too long. There’s hardly any mummy or any action, and no real suspense. The head of security keeps talking about his “time at the Yard” aka Scotland Yard. The last scene in the movie literally made me say “Boooooo!”
Ridiculous dialogue
Well I should say no one forced their way through these doors. And I’ve seen enough forced doors in my time at the Yard to know.
