A murderous mummy is on the loose and it's got the
Hammer Films stamp on it, but this tame terror flick never gets the bandages off when it comes to thrills, chills, and gore. A British archeological team consisting of
Sir Basil Walden (
Andre Morrell),
Paul Preston (
David Buck), a photographer (
Tim Barrett), and psychic linguist
Claire (
Maggie Kimberley) discover the tomb of Kah-to-Bey, a young heir to
Pharaoh who died trying to escape a rebellion. The boy was buried by a loyal slave named
Prem, whose mummy stands in a Cairo museum. The expedition is joined by
Preston's wealthy, press-hungry father
Stanley (
John Phillips), who insists they return to Cairo with the body despite warnings of a curse by the tomb's guardian. The curse soon proves to be true as the slave's mummy is reanimated by the guardian and begins murdering each of the explorers who entered the tomb. While
Stanley Preston unsuccessfully tries to save his own skin,
Paul and
Claire find themselves in a showdown with the seemingly indestructible mummy -- until they discover that the strange writing on the boy
Pharaoh's shroud may be the secret to their survival.
