Review taken from dvdverdict.com

A group of Egyptologists, including the beautiful Annette DuBois (Jeanne Roland) and her beau John Bray (Ronald Howard), have discovered the underground tomb of Ra-Antef, a minor Egyptian prince of whom no one knows a thing. Shortly afterwards, Annette's father, the leader of the expedition, is brutally murdered by Bedouins. When the survivors return to London, they have two obstacles to overcome. To begin with, the American who bankrolled their expedition plans to take the mummy on the road from town to town. Secondly, an attack on one of the expedition members raises talk of the mummy's curse, condemning all who defiled the grave to death. In the midst of the chaos, Annette finds an admirer in an amateur Egyptologist, Adam Beauchamp (Terence Morgan), who somehow knows everything about Ra-Antef, including the fact that after Ra-Antef went into exile after discovering the secret of life after death, his brother Be-Antef had him assassinated.

Hammer's second mummy movie has nothing to do with the first (1959's classic The Mummy), but instead brings a fresh twist to an old genre. Adam Beauchamp turns out to be the mummy's brother, Be-Antef, cursed by his father to eternal life—he can only die at the hands of his brother—you know, the brother he had killed? That's a pretty kick-ass curse—unless, of course, if you're the cursed. So once the tomb of Ra-Antef is discovered, Beauchamp is looking for ways to bring the mummy to life…so that his brother can kill him. Hammer was never afraid of tweaking the stories as needed, or of introducing unexpected twists. Where they occasionally went wrong is in the development. Way too much time is spent on the sideshow subplot—in addition, Adam's encyclopedic knowledge of an unknown Egyptian prince pretty much tags him as a villain of some stripe or another almost immediately. While it takes too damn long for the main plot to get off the ground, once it does, it does so with a vengeance. Acting is a little uneven—well, it would be more accurate to say that everyone does an excellent job but Jeanne Roland, whose sole talent is filling out low-cut costumes. There's something of a kitchen sink aspect to the movie, with its odd mix of horror, mystery, and thriller, but it somehow manages to work.
