Here's another cut down from the golden days of super8;and very nice it is too. After the main title,we are still in the USA,as another high priest played by John Carrdine,burns some tana leaves.H is mission of course,is to get the attention of Khairs(Lon Chaney jr). The Mummy himself,comes across a farm.The dog,barks madly,and the owner,armed with a rife,enters the barn.A shot is heared,and his wife,runs down to the barn to investagate. She finds her husband dead. The newspapers are thenflased across;Khairs,meanwhile,finds the high preist,and drinks the tana fliud. We then cut to a collage,and its here we are introduced,to the other two main leads..Tom harvey(Robert Lowery);and his girlfreind Ameana(Ramsey Amos). Meanwhile,both the high priest and the mummy,gain entry to the museum,for here lies the remains of Anaka. Khairs,seems delighted,for his search is ending,he puts his hand on the remaims,and pulls back.There's nothing there,just warppings. Unbeknown to them,however,Amaena,lets out a cry,at the same moment.The search is not over yet! The high preist prays for guideance,and the mummy,heads off,once again,to find his beloved. This is succesful,because the young Anmea,falls at Khairs feet. The mummy carries her back to their hideout..were Carrdine is waiting,to perform the final rites.However on seeing this beauiful girl,he decides he wants her for himself. Kharis,flips,and while Carrdine pleads for his life,the mummy pushes him out of the window,were he falls to his death!. Now the local police,and boyfreind give chase.The mummy,with the girl in his arms,now ageing,rapdily,leads the mob into a swamp. Tom cries after her,as we witness,both the mummy and girl,disappear under the murky waters. Anice two reeler,which will please all horror movie buffs,this has good print,and on my copy fair sound. The editing,is good,not as good as tomb,but then what was;if you love those old universal b/ws;then go for it.enjoyable.Andy.
