Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Micransix Crappy film

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Hitchcoc I loved the very first Universal Mummy movie with Boris Karloff in all his spookiness. It has a connection to mysteries of Egypt and Books of the Dead. Most of the other films from this genre have a real sameness to them. There is the man who travels with Kharis, the poor creature, buried alive and wrapped in cloth. His agenda seems to be to protect Kharis but he fails sometimes. This one hearkens back to the Mummy's Hand where the characters have now aged and gone on to a new generation. There is lots of death in this one, where people who the mummy realized were responsible for his struggles are done in. Soon the mummy has found a new love, and so he sets out to make things happen. Jealousy plays a role in this offering and sets the scene for another movie.

Uriah43 After a brief retelling of the previous movie ("The Mummy's Hand") it is now 30 years later and "Stephen Banning" (Dick Foran) is telling some relatives of his adventures in Egypt. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, we find that both the mummy, "Kharis" (Lon Chaney Jr.) and the High Priest of Karnak, "Andoheb" (George Zucco) managed to survive. However, Andoheb is old and frail and he chooses a new person named "Mehemet Bey" (Turhan Bey) to succeed him upon his death. When that happens Turhan Bey decides to exact vengeance upon those who dared to commit sacrilege to the ancient Egyptian gods. This vengeance also extends to any family members as well. Anyway, rather than revealing what happens next I will just say that this was an okay sequel to the previous film. Unfortunately, the short length of the film (only an hour) prevented it from achieving anything noteworthy or remarkable. As such I rate it as average.

AaronCapenBanner Harold Young directed this sequel to "The Mummy's Hand", now starring Lon Chaney Jr. as Kharis the mummy, who is still alive and on his way to America with a young priest(played by Turhan Bey) who are pledged to kill off the survivors of the Banning expedition that brought Princess Ananka home to the Scripps museum. George Zucco also returns as Andoheb, who survived being shot in the earlier film, and sent them on their mission of revenge. Dick Foran and Wallace Ford reprise their roles as Banning and Babe. Strange and misconceived sequel picks up the story thirty years later(!) Why the long wait? No idea, no explanation is given. To see key characters killed by Kharis is surprising, but also bizarre. Largely ineffectual film has little credibility or atmosphere; mostly good for camp value.

Prichards12345 Hmmm; it isn't saying much for the quality of the movie when the first 10 minutes or so of the 60 minute film are taken up with flashbacks from The Mummy's Hand. Universal were basically ripping off their own product, and displaying a cynical attitude to their audience. Later on in the story they spliced in some rampaging townsfolk from Frankenstein as if to emphasise the cheap jack nature of this effort. The two Mummy sequels which followed it were at least an improvement.The story, what there is of it, has Turhan Bey taking over from George Zucco's high priest of Karnak and transporting Kharis to New England to take revenge on the Banning family for desecrating the tomb of Ananka 30 years earlier. Why the cult waits so long is never explained. Maybe they were trying to think of a way to get the sarcophagus past customs...Cue Dick Foran and Wallace Ford getting strangled by Chaney Jr.'s lurching Mummy. Actually these killings represent the highlight of the movie, and are surprisingly effective. The rest is all ho-hum territory. A moment of amusement might be had from two townsfolk waking up the sheriff in the middle of the night to report they've seen a shadow.Turhan Bey does his best with an under-written part, but Chaney Jr is a boring Kharis. He clearly hated the role and, er literally walked through it. The romantic leads are dull, and to be honest, so is the movie largely. At least it's brief.
