There are few films with characters or actors that can command such power, force, pathos and emotion the way #ChristopherLee successfully does in #Hammerfilms 1959 'The Mummy' .... and he does it with a full face mask and head to toe bandage! Hands and eyes? You bet! When he ploughs through those french windows, like a full steam head loco train, making his b-line for Peter Cushing's lame and unprepared John Banning, on first watch, you are convinced... Cushing aint going to make it!!! We all know how much Peter loved a GOOD tussle, a sword fight, a strangle, throttle and swipe and we also know just how real and convincing these scenes looked in past 'set-to's'.... the 1958 #Dracula, The Curse of Frankenstein, I Monster in 1971 and Dracula AD 1972.. what a prologue indeed! Lee's character Kharis, is on a mission, under a spell, like pounding wave one moment then tender with grace, the next. It's a sad climax, a touching love story all in one. Director Terence Fisher, knew his craft and this is another of his golden Hammer films. Perfect cast, that chemistry, believable sets and beautiful score, makes The Mummy one of Hammer's most popular features... a blu ray remaster, looking like a feature made with several million and a must for any collection - Marcus

I know many see this as a almost not quite worthy ending to Hammer and Cushing's #Frankenstein saga... but I DO so love this film and everything about it. The pace, the pace is almost played like the knowing sadness, of saying goodbye, to a close family member or old friend. The cast is probably one of the best that James Liggat put together. Liggat cast quite a few Hammer features and went on to pull together casts for Kunbrick's 1962 Lolita, James Bond 'Dr No', Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' and The shinning in 1980. What a ensemble of experienced and amazing character actors, Mischa De La Motte as Twitch, Sydney (Captain Clegg) Bromley as Muller, Victor Woolf as Letch, Charles Lloyd Pack .. all the way from way back as Dr Seward in #Cushing and #ChristopherLee's #Dracula. John Stratton as the Asylum Director and Bernard Lee as the heart breakingly sensitve, Tarmut. So many lovely players and scenes. Maddy Smith and Shane Briant play so well, while Peter guides through a role he knew so well, still with some surprises of crazy dedication. It's cramped, it's dank and oppressive and quite grim. But so fitting. As Terence Fisher's last film, it's a tribute and testament to the many believable fairytale environments and settings he created with those amazingly talented crews.. just a few still around long enough to cast this last spell. It's well worth watching as the curtain finally drops, as the treasured, precious and cherished, take their final bow in the Hammer land of 'Frankenstein'. .. - Marcus
