Good film but i think it lacks alot compared to the original first one the mummy , probally because
of the acting off christopher lee and peter cushing in the first one is hard to top
This is almost like soft porn, rather than a horror film. Not as good as Twins of Evil or The Vampire Lovers. I'm sure even the presence of Peter Cushing couldn't save this one.
By this stage, the gravel pit desert setting was looking too threadbare, but the gorgeous interior production design, photography and Michael Ripper make it worth watching.
I enjoyed this film. The lack of a twist made the thin storyline a little predictable, but it was nice seeing Christopher Lee back in a Hammer horror and the other cast members were good, especially Jeffrey Dean Morgan who was pathetic and creepy at the same time as the needy and dangerous antagonist. It's more of a psychological thriller.
I think this role really shows what a versatile and incredibly powerful presence Christopher Lee possesses, although the film does show the limitations of Hammer's resources, and filming it back to back with Dracula Prince of Darkness highlights the recycling of the over familiar sets to a distracting degree.
I never caught this one. I love Barbara Shelley and wish someone would put this out on DVD. Or as I said on other comment pages, perhaps Hammer could stream it on their Youtube page?

The name Barbara Shelley in the cast list caught my eye, but shame there is no information on this one.

Another apparently neglected gem from Hammer for them to show online.
