ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Theo Robertson There's something about Mummy horror films . Or rather there's something missing about Mummy horror films . They're not really ingrained in to the cinematic memory in the way that films featuring werewolves , vampires , or the Frankenstein monster have . One can perhaps understand this when giving it a little thought . The Mummy narrative usually revolves around some ancient Egyptian being mummified then several thousand years later he's resurrected and just as this is happening his previous mistress just happens to be reincarnated and Mr Mummyman goes to track her down . As bad as in the implausible coincidences might be there is something also about a Mummy that works to its disadvantage - the monster itself shuffles about in an unlikely manner negating much its potential menace That said I was curios as to the Spanish would spin out the legend of the Mummy and to be honest there's nothing radical on show . Perhaps the best comparison would be with a Hammer horror film and this Spanish language movie does give a nod towards the British studio by having the story set at the turn of the century in London . That said there are numerous goofs where you don't have to look very closely at the cityscape to notice there's modern buildings on the skyline but at least it's obviously filmed in its setting and we're not subjected to the usual stock footage . It also contains the Hammer mind-set that foreigners are not to be trusted which gives Paul Naschy to opportunity to shine as the villain which he does quite well . One stark difference between this and a Hammer film though is that of the violence is a bit more explicit and the titular Mummy seems to have an unhealthy obsession with squashing heads ! Don't say you weren't warned

lastliberal Even as they bury Amenhotep (Paul Naschy), his mind is alive and plotting revenge.Professor Stern (Jack Taylor) finds him thousands of years later. Little does he know what is in store for him.Naschy shows up again in current time from Egypt with Rina Ottolina, and they set out to bring Amenhotep and his concubine back to life.There are lots of throat slashings and crushed skulls along the way.Unfortunately, it would not be interesting to anyone who is not a Paul Naschy aficionado. There just wasn't that much excitement to sustain anyone else.

bfan83 Along with THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE DARK and VENGEANCE OF THE ZOMBIES, this is another interesting effort in Paul Naschy's catalog. In the beginning, he plays a homicidal Pharoah during ancient Egypt, who along with his equally sick wife, sacrifice virgins in order to obtain immortality. They are put to death for their heinous crimes. His vows revenge. Several thousand years later, his tomb is disturbed by a husband and wife archaeological team. He is soon revived and convinces his blood relative (also played by Naschy) to kill young virgins in order for his ancestor to return to life, in the flesh. A colleague of Naschy's and his wife soon discover something isn't right and they begin their own investigation, which leads to a pretty neat showdown with the mummy. At times, the violence is very effective, mostly consisting of gruesome throat slashing. The only real "let-downs" are the poorly dubbed growling of the mummy. It sounds like he is in mid-orgasm. Instead of the moments being tense, I found myself laughing at the horrible dubbing. The only other "let-down" is it is quite obvious that all the gore scenes were horribly cut down. Hopefully one day, THE MUMMY'S REVENGE will see an uncut DVD release. This film deserves to be re-discovered. Once again, Paul Naschy turns in a good dual-role performance. He shows that he is quite capable of playing other characters besides Waldemar Daninsky. THE MUMMY'S REVENGE is quite difficult to track down. It's been out-of-print for many years, and seems to have virtually disappeared off the face of the planet. However, horrortheatervideo.com, and sinistercinema.com both carry it in bootleg editions. The quality is far from great, but for any fan of Spanish horror, or any self-respecting fan of Paul Naschy, it's definitely worth the search. Seek it out.

Michael_Elliott Vengeance of the Mummy, The (1973) ** (out of 4) Spanish horror film has Paul Naschy playing three roles including a mummy who returns to life after 1000 years to seek vengeance and regain his long lost love. Sadly I had to view this in a poor quality, P&S, English dubbed bootleg so hopefully someone will release a legit, good copy. The film was simply decent but it's hard to judge without seeing it in its true form. Jack Taylor co-stars and steals the show but Naschy is okay in his duel human parts. His turn as the mummy isn't a total success but it's an interesting performance. The American dub has the mummy constantly moaning, sounding like he's in a porno so this gave off some unintentional laughs. The violence level is quite high with several throat slashings and head crushings.
