Creepy as well as colorful terror movie with chills , thrills , scary events and being middlingly filmed. The story begins with an alleged Egyptologist named James Barton (Frank Braña) who goes to Dartmoor Castle looking to investigate the mummies owned by the count who lives there (Jorge or George Rigaud). On the way he runs into two countrywomen, the youngest, and the oldest explains that he doesn't know , she only knows that one day heard screaming and crying from that same castle he wants to go and that she doesn't even know . The bravest woman dares him to approach that mysterious place. He gets to the castle in a state of almost total abandon and there is only one taciturn servant who introduces himself as John but does not pay much attention to him. James Barton makes his way by himself and reaches the room where Count Dartmoor is, who thanks to his ability to read human minds discovers that Barton is actually a policeman investigating the disappearances that have taken place there. Barton's skepticism about the earl's threat to turn him into a statue prompts to give us a stop motion animation display by taking a wooden stick and turning it into a snake (similar to Charlton Heston's Ten Commandments) as a sign of his might. While in the sarcophagus there was also a manuscript, which after many hours of work he managed to decipher to reveal the mystery behind that mummy. Plans begin to go awry when he offers him a glass of milk as a welcome and the Egyptian violently rejects it. Then the revived mummy needs the blood of young women to slake his thirst .The plot picks up speed again when the earl's daughter, Lucy (Catherine Franck), arrives in Dartmoor, accompanied by her friend Ana (Teresa Gimpera), who are greeted by the bloodsucker African in undergarments.
This frightening movie deliberately told contains sinister events , suspense , colorful images in Hammer style , lots of blood and gore , including sadistic scenes and obnoxious killings . Director Alejandro Marti and writer Julio Salvador bring this ghastly and stylish story plagued with chilling intrigue , and depraved gore murders executed by a vampire-mummy . There's a long narration in which the starring begins by relating his story from the time he acquired an Egyptian sarcophagus in the Valley of the Kings and, to his faithful servant's surprise, what it contained was not the usual bandaged corpse but a perfectly preserved body . At a point the film acquires overtones of monster Frankenstein as Count Dartmoor begins to talk about Mesmer's treatise, Galvani's work (De viribus electricitatis in motu musculari commentarius) and other considerations , all to finally satisfy his scientific curiosity by bringing this mummy back to life , but leaving Frankenstein behind , the flick moves on to bloodsucker Dracula issue , with the accidental discovery that the mummy needs blood to stay alive . From there, the plot of the film loses dynamism as the cycle of kidnapping to innocent girls with subsequent punishment , sucking , lashing and mistreating becomes repetitive to satisfy the appetite of the cruel mummy. All the victims of the mummy being beautiful women and with a good dose of chains and whips, the film was distributed in the United States seeking to highlight its exploitation side over the horror component, which is why it was marketed under the title "Love Brides of the Blood Mummy".
This eerie and obscure picture was regularly directed by Alejandro Marti assisted by Julio Salvador . Alejandro Marti was a craftsman of brief career , he only made another film titled "Elisabet" and wrote the following ones : "La otra orilla" , "Muerte en primavera", "Una madeja de lana azul celeste" and "La boda era a las doce". While Julio Salvador was a good professional who directed some nice films such as ¨Contraband in Spain¨ with Richard Greene and Anouk Aimee and in 1968 directed along with Ray Danton , as co-filmmaker the movie titled ¨Hello Glen Ward¨. Julio Salvador made various pictures with his fetish actor Conrado San Martin such as ¨Sin Sonrisa De Dios¨, ¨Duda¨ , ¨Lo Que Nunca Muere¨ and his best film ¨Apartado Correos 1001¨. He also was a writer , as he wrote "Love Brides of the Blood Mummy¨dealing with a Mummy rebirth and ¨The Mercenary¨ again with Ray Danton . Furthermore , he wrote ¨Crypt of the Living Dead" also titled "Hannah, Queen of the Vampires" or "Young Hannah, Queen of the Vampires . Rating : Average 5/10.
