Well above average mummy movie; perhaps second only to THE MUMMY with Boris Karloff, PHARAOH'S CURSE doesn't drag (...). The performances all around are solid, the story's good and the pacing excellent. Even the mummy itself is unique (with the notable exception of LA MOMIA AZTECA, this is the ONLY deviation from the Original Look that I know of); the makeup is simple but effective- and the arm that snaps off is even creepier (especially when it's being whittled down to the bone). The lovely Egyptian woman wandering the desert was a nice touch: it lent an almost fairytale feel to the proceedings. PHARAOH'S CURSE is yet another of those Oldies But Goodies that deserves some Love.
