'The Mummy' (1959) - Terence Fisher.
Exhumed from his deathless tomb, the killer cadaver, Kharis awakens in order to exact a most diabolical doom upon those infidels who did so foully desecrate the inviolate burial chamber of his most beloved princess! 'The Mummy' (1959) is arguably one of the greatly admired film studio, Hammer Films very finest examples of their nerve-splitting, resolve-wrecking, irresistibly lurid horror art, and the delectably erudite duo of Peter Cushing & Christopher Lee are, as always, on thrillingly refined, fear-mongering form! And certainly no red-blooded male, or, quite frankly, no less enamoured female wouldn't wither before the pulse-poundingly pulchritudinous charms of the ravishingly beautiful, Yvonne Furneaux! Iconic Director Terence Fisher tastefully creates one of his most marvellously macabre, deliciously rich and visually luscious, chill-distilling confections that proved nigh on irresistible to film fans for 60 years and counting!!! And long may the majestically macabre, tomb-trashing terror continue to thrill the 'Hammer Film' adoring public!
