Doesn't live up to Universal Standards, 16 November 2004
Author: hausrathman

A new priest of Karnak, Turhan Bey, takes the living mummy Kharis to America to kill the family of Stephen Banning, Dick Foran, who looted the tomb of Ananka many years earlier. The sequel, which was produced two years after 'The Mummy's Hand,' spends an usually long time showing flashbacks from the previous flick. The plot itself is also more or less recycled from the previous film with the new high priest being tempted away from his pure purpose by unmotivated, instant lust for John Banning's girlfriend, Isobel Evans. The film does benefit from the novelty of moving the Mummy to New England, but the film does not live up to the standards of classic Universal horror films.
